it was a dark and dreary morning but at least it didn't rain on us! we had a nice time and much was accomplished today.
and as always, i come with a freshly baked cake. this week's selection-almond poppyseed cake with a little lemon zest for zing. i blinked and the crew dug in and ate half the cake!!!
the first bluebird brood did not survive-mockingbirds! mr & mrs(that's her in the photo) are preparing for the second brood.

what we did today-mulch the garden. two loads were delivered and the crew spent the morning spreading it out over the pathways. in the photo, darry fills the wheelbarrow while anne rakes it out.
in this photo, david dumps a load while anne continues to rake it out...
and as the morning progresses, the cake disappears...everyone, including myself, had at least two pieces!

last year, i collected logs to construct the walls of the herb garden. many of them are sprouting mushrooms. while many of them are inedible, they are all interesting to look at. here are a few photos of the fruiting bodies present today
every bottle garden is a potential terrarium, ours is no exception!
now, doesn't that look pretty? amazing what a little mulch can do!
going, going, gone...there's a first time for everything! come join us some time, you know there will be cake!!!
