Our Blueberries
 | |||
Despite the drought
and the wild birds and animals who,
in their hunger have demolished
much of our crops this year-
We did get some blueberries.
They were delicious!

Turtle / Tortoise Time
( he was not the usual green sliders that I see that I know are turtles-I'm not sure what he was truly- are you?)
was sunning himself in the road the other day. We didn't want anyone to run over him as dusk was approaching- so we tried to encourage him off the road. He insistently ran the other way. He moved really, really quickly I might add.a The little reascal stopped just inside the drivers side tire under our car! With some careful and persistent encouragement- we got him out and on his way in to the cool grass and off the busy road.
Our Clematis HENRY I bloomed today
Clematis Henry I Hybridized by Isaac Anderson-Henry of Edinburgh, Scotland,
Year of Registration / Introduction: 1870
Bred from C. lanuginosa as the female or seed-bearer and C. 'Fortunei' as the male parent.

Gumbo Z' Herbes from my Garden for Maundy Thursday
so I made a delicious Gumbo Z'Herbes from the greens and herbs in our garden;
"Hummingbird Hill Gumbo Z'Herbes"
1/4 cup of fresh butter from a local dairy,
1 tbs flour
1 vidalia onion choped fine and saute with
a handful of fresh spinach, 3 handfuls of fresh romaine lettuce, 1 handful of fresh tarragon, parsley, thyme, oregano and a little Basil all chopped and ground, then add
2 cups of no salt chicken stock
Black and Red Pepper-
and my personal touch-
1 tbs of cinnamon and 4 fresh French Bay leaves.
Bring to a boil and then reduce on medium for 1 hour-
Chop, grind and strain through a sieve,
serve over Atchafalya basin rice
with a generous dollop of crystal hot sauce!

Happy Spring!- We Saw Our First Hummingbird!
At least one young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Too fast for my camera!
We refilled all the feeders for them.
The wasps are hatching out and so are the bumble bees.
They are feeding on the blossoming Wisteria.
The honey bees are visiting our pear and citrus trees
-so with any luck we may have some fruit this year.
