Activities on Monday

 Laundry ( several loads), 51 pick up and put away, mowed lawn and sprayed for ants.   It was a full day.  I went with Far Guy to his Car Club meeting in the evening.  It was okay...they don't run a very organized meeting and it started 23 minutes late but they served root beer floats!  

During the afternoon I worked on the baby afghan and I am now doing the border.  In a few more days I will have it done. 

More yarn may have been stuffed in the mail box and the mail box didn't break this time.  As I was unpacking it some one who shall remain nameless said " When you were a paper hoarder it was less bulky compared to yarn."


Goats Beard or Tragopogon dubius   The large flower has gone to seed.  The root of this plant can be dug up and roasted and may be used as a coffee substitute.  If the economy gets much worse it may be a source of income:)

  1. I love it...as more yarn may have been stuffed in the mailbox!

    I can recall having Chickory Coffee with my grandmother. So there is that too right?

    Mowing day looks like it will come again this week here after 2.5 inches of rain and lots of growth. It is nearly chest high on Charlie!

  2. You are so knowledgeable about plants. I learn something new every week from your posts. Do you ever wonder how some person figured out that this root could be roasted and used as a drink? Fascinating!

  3. Unorganized meetings make me twitchy. Root beer floats would be a nice antidote though.

  4. I did laundry and mowed yesterday, too. It isn't hoarding if you use it, right? ;)

  5. At the price of groceries, I think we'll all have to reconsider those plants that grow wild.

    You certainly had a full day!

  7. We have a native shrub called Goatsbeard, so I had to look yours up. What color are yours?

  8. I'm embarrassed to say this. I'm 82 years old and I've never done laundry. I'm not allowed to touch the washer. something has to change one of these days.

  9. Monday is a fairly busy day here too. It's uncommonly hot here this week. 35C (95F). We're not used to heat like this.

  11. Goats Beard (now I know). I will have to check them out further when I see them - like a giant dandelion!
