Happy May Day

Do people run around the May pole any more?   I would do it.   :)

My seedlings have made a lot of progress since I first planted them on April 22nd.   All the tomato plants are leading the pack at over an inch high.   I planted some dwarf curly parsley that just broke through the soil a couple of days ago. 

I'm happy to report that all the daffodil varieties are blooming outside along with the bright red tulips that one of my sisters gave me.  Whenever I leave this piece of land, those tulips are coming with me!   The forsythia is flowering after a no show from last year.   The weather has been more on track this year(though, I'll have to wait and see after a string of thunderstorms comes through tonight!).

I'm finishing up on a set of custom house ornaments.  Four of the same house.  A historical stone house in Ulster County complete with the thin tall stone markers out front.  Each ornament also has an American flag. 

There has been a little bit of sketching for possible Halloween ornaments, though I have to admit that I find it rather early to be thinking of such things.   :)

I found myself standing next to a bin of fresh fiddleheads in the grocery over the weekend.  You know,  I just had to leave them be.....they are not my favorite by a long shot.  I can think of a couple of other wild greenery that I would eat over fiddleheads.   :)

The last entry was a little down in the dumps.  I never really give up.  I just need to regroup and forge on.   More walking would do.  Logged 7 miles last week.

Maybe a little skipping around a May pole will help.
