Oh goodness, the goodness of the Lord is upon us once again! I picked out some fresh radishes on Saturday from the garden and I was delighted to see how they looked! They were perfect size and bright red! After you cut off both ends and wash them real good they are ready to eat! They taste so delicious and crisp in salad, on a slice of bread with mayo and cheese and salt, and if you want that 'hot' quick bite ... just pop one in your mouth as it is!
Radishes have been a vegetable that we have grown in our garden for a few years now but I think these are the best yet. Maybe it's because we had such a cold spring and they thrive in the cooler tempts!?.
We are also blessed with lots of fresh spinach, cut lettuce and meadow tea! The butter crunch lettuce is growing faster than we need it too. I think our supper meals will include a fresh salad each evening this week!!! The strawberries have blooms on and it will be time to pick fresh berries soon! We can't wait for some warm short cake and berries!

Spring is a time for good fishing too. Matthew goes any chance he gets! Especially, if he's invited by his Uncle Matt and knows that Mike is going along too! These guys are a pair. Matt and Mike know how to fish and fish well! Matthew is learning but does well every time!
Saturday morning, Mike and Matthew woke up early and joined Matt and Jayden at the fishing hole. There was a fishing derby for 15 years and under. The limit was to catch five fish per fisherman. Mike said that only a few seconds after Matthews first cast, he had a bite. (Telling you, he's good. There were kids that were there for hours and didn't get one bite. I am hearing that it has a lot to do with the bait and hook?.!)
Matthew fished till after lunch and caught four. Jayden caught three. They were all good sized fish. We had a delicious supper last night as we ate them! Thanks Matthew for bringing more good fish to our supper table! And thanks to Lena for letting us use their fryer since Matthew says Lena makes the best fried fish! :)
(Don't you just love when your son goes fishing in his pj's and boots?
Straight out of bed to the fishing hole. What gets better than that? :) )
We are enjoying Spring time here! The mulch pile is down to nothing after last night. Mike finished off the last bit of it last night with the tractor and dumped me some more piles that I need to spread out today. I will happy to not have to cover up my 'not so frost friendly plants' anymore. The last two nights I went out and covered up my plants that can't handle frost. I think according to the weather forecast, things are to be warming up this week yet! We like that thought!
Have a blessed Tuesday! It will consist of more outside work for me. Blessings ...
