Spring a Time of Awakening

Photobucket

Even though it is still cold in the Northwest we see the subtle and not so subtle signs everywhere that Spring is here.  Weeds usually get the first jump, those buggers are so determined, I am on them with a vengeance because otherwise I may as well just pack my bags as they move in and take over.

Our brightest spot of the first signs of spring are the azaleas blooming everywhere followed soon, determined to not be out done are the rhododendrons.

Let's talk more over the jump about what is waking up in our worlds...........

 
Kathleen :: Spring a Time of Awakening

I walked around the yard yesterday and took pictures of the first blooms to share with you......

This beautiful rhododendron by the mailbox at the entrance of our driveway it is just beginning to show it's stuff........
Photobucket

The first azalea to bloom is on the lake side....
Photobucket

I'm trying Eddie and knucklehead but you all have to use some imagination to get the full picture  LOL I am not the best photographer.

This is a ground cover, vinca minor, that grows great in shade which all of these flowering plants I am showing are shade loving.

Photobucket

Another type of azalea........

But now today we have this to remind us not to get in too big a hurry.

So today I am wondering??????..........

What is awakening in your life?

What new thoughts do you have?

What's for dinner?

What are you seeing with new eyes? (8.00 / 12)

The trees are just beginning to turn green here, somewhat earlier this year, for some reason. (8.00 / 11)
Today, however, it's somewhat foggy, drizzly and misty here in Boston and the Bay State.  To paraphrase part of the mid-1970's  song "I Never Promised you a Rose Garden";  

"Along with the sunshine, there's got to be a little rain sometime".

Ah a crystal ball (8.00 / 11)

Just a little hopefully helpful advise. On thing I've learned in my limited experience as a photoblogger is that if you post photos that are so small that nobody can see them, then nobody can see them.  

Ahhh...a crystal ball! (8.00 / 10)
How about that?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
[ Parent ]
a way around this problem (8.00 / 9)
is load big photos into the photobucket & do not resize them there.

you can resize them when you put the 'photo code' into your essay or comment.

i see i did not explain how to resize in HTML Photo/Video Help
i will go rectify that now.

how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man?"
~The Patrician in 'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett


[ Parent ]
The best way around it is resizing it yourself (8.00 / 8)
As I wrote in Posting pretty good photos at DailyKos without spending a penny

According to DailyKos FAQ "A width of 500 is the maximum that can be accommodated without causing problems." 500 being pixelwidth and the old problem was a margin issue. 500 is as large as you can go in comments but now all that will happen by going larger is everything beyond around 506 being cut off. I don't think I've caused any problems going up to 600 in diary photos but I prefer to see the photos and with the proper downsizing, the diaries don't seem to take up much bandwidth. Some people choose a size that you will need a magnifying glass to see but I don't own one so I don't stay but 500 is just fine.

There is another bonus to downsizing before uploading, the full size picture remains your property. The worst way to get down to 500 is code. You can use <img width="500" src= ""> but that does not change the bandwidth usage and your photo might end up building in your diary or comment like the old dial up days plus it takes too long to upload to the photo sharing site.

There are some very useful HTML codes you might want. To text wrap a photo just use <img align="right" src=""> or <img align="left" src=""> If you do have a photo that you think should be seen larger there are several methods but I like to tell the reader so I post like this with links to two different pictures <img src=""><br><a href="">Click to enlarge</a>

snip...

If you have a MAC you don't need anything extra to format the size of a photo. In iPhoto when you export photo to documents or anywhere, you can pick a size. From the drop down menu under file pick "Export" and a new window pops up. Once you change the first box called "Kind" to JPEG everything below becomes adjustable. "JPEG Quality" should be left at or moved to medium and the bottom box should be changed to "Custom." Once you do that you can set a maximum width. Pick 500 and you have a sleek little file to upload.

If you have a PC once again you will need a free program from the web. The best I've ever used was strongly suggested by Eddie Haskell after I placed my very first way too large photo essay comment in Cheers and Jeers. IrfanView is another program that needs almost no instructions. Once you install it all you need to do is right click on any photo and open with IrfanView. Then "Control" and "R" on the keyboard brings up a window with the width already highlighted. Type "500" for a horizontal composition and click "OK." "Control" and "S" brings you to a save window but you should change the name of the file or you will lose the big one. There are already plenty of other nifty things to do in IrfanView, so explore.

the only way I could get that to post (8.00 / 8)
was to hit post twice.

I tried over and over but it would just lock up. Close the window check my comment history. open a new on and try again, over and over. Each time frozen window. Soapblox really really wants that double click from me when ever I write anything over three words.

Oddly enough on my hardwired computer i have

We got (8.00 / 11)
some of that white stuff overnight too.  All that was left of it this morning was a little snowy-slush above the windshield wipers on the windshield.

The tomatoes and peppers I started in the house are dying from not enough sunlight.  I'm hoping they make it until it warms up again so I can set them outside for awhile to see if it will perk them up.

No idea whats for dinner.  Come to think of it I really didn't have an answer for any of the questions.  I think I need a brain reboot.

Ouch! (8.00 / 10)
Sorry about your tomatoes and peppers, Alma.   Hope that putting in the sunlight to perk up helps.

I harvested last season's leeks (8.00 / 4)
today. After prepping the new leeks/celeriac bed and planting out the seedlings. They've just now started greening again after the winter, perfect time to take them out before they try to bulb up and set seed. Had to get them out of there (or I'd have let them set seed) because that's where the yard-long green and red pole beans need to go. Try to move beans or peanuts in wherever a heavy feeder was the year before. They'll have pole teepees plus interspersed sunflowers.

So... what do you do with last season's leeks this early in spring? Clean, slice into 1/2 inch rounds (white and light green parts) then cut the rounds in half and toss 'em in a bowl. They'll tend to separate into strips. Time to get the dryer out if I can't use them up quick, but spring break's over next week so I can made a few dozen leek and potato Mexican fritters for #1 grandson to feed the starving hippies at college next week. I think he sells 'em, all I know is he wants as many as I can possibly make and he can fit into his backpack.

Also planted the boxwood twigs I'd been rooting since mid-December when the first blizzard wreaked havoc on the big boxwood. Going to make a real boxwood and wild rose hedgerow, English style! Eventually... Helped daughter re-string fence to new poles, repair the compost bin, and secure grapes. Pears done blooming, apples in full swing. It finally cooled down enough to get something done!


[ Parent ]
You sure have been busy (8.00 / 4)
I think I'd ask #1 grandson if he wanted to cut granny in on the deal.  Maybe you should set up a booth when r is doing street performances and see if you can make some money selling them.  

Sounds like a good plan using the pole teepees.  I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to plant Katies sunflowers.  When I got my seeds out to start my seedlings I noticed she had bought 2 kinds of sunflowers. I'm thinking of planting the giant ones along the fence so I don't have to put out stakes for them.

Your boxwood and wild rose hedgerow sounds like it will be beautiful.  You're going to have to take pictures when they get going good.  I know it will take awhile, but hey, I ain't going nowhere.  ;)

What all do you make with your pears and apples?  There's so many things you can do with them.  :)

I got the poke and mandrake roots online and have them in the alcohol.  I figure they'll get a good couple of months while I'm waiting on the scotch pines to start their growing, and process them in oil.

Here its just finally warming up so I can get something done.

[ Parent ]
Once sold shrimp (8.00 / 3)
on the side of the road, because we were caretaking a shrimp dock and R was working a boat in the mornings. You wouldn't believe the hoops you have to jump through! Anything but seriously processed stuff (or cookies at a gathering) is just WAY too much trouble!

These are fairly easy fritters once you've chopped the leeks (~2 pounds). Boil a couple of medium potatoes cubed with a clove of garlic cubed, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the leeks in butter until slightly brown, add a jigger of water and let them simmer down. Rough mash the potato/garlic (leave chunks), add the leeks and 4 eggs slightly beaten, salt to taste (about 1 tsp.). Add a small can of corn, drained, two tablespoons of chunky salsa, 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup masa harina (corn flour). Chill for at least an hour, shape into 18 patties. Fry in oil 3 minutes per side until golden, drain on paper. Good hot or cold, dipped in sour cream.

Yummmmmmmmmm!  Those sound delish!

Didn't know you had so many hoops to jump through for selling.  For permanent stands we have them too, but for temp. at something like a city festival there aren't as many.

Apples are for (8.00 / 3)
eating and drying, btw. I'm rigging up a harvester since my single-stalk 10-foot max height columnars reverted to root stock and are still poplar-shaped but 20 feet tall. It's that little three-prong hand rake duct taped to an extension pole with a size large plastic tumbler duct taped about 5 inches below the tines. I can straddle the apple stem with the tines and pull the apple into the cup to harvest. Better than losing half of every apple at least falling on the rock wall...

Dried pounds and pounds last year, hoping to make dried apple pies for Thanksgiving. The fam ate every single chip and crumb well before November, as snacks. Hope this year to have three times as much preserved, will hide some in the freeze for T-giving.

Pears are for moonshine. I've tried pear juice, pear butter, pear leather, dried pear slices... everything. These are some way old fashioned cinnamon pears that are small and hard, dry with what looks like caked brown sugar on and in them. They're tasty but kind of crunchy and 'meaty', not everyone's cup of pear tea. Historically they made high-dollar moonshine here, the pears are left over from that. They also used apples and cherries (and also made hard cider), but those original Johnny Appleseed trees died the first year we were here in the blizzard of '93. I need to get a nice wood-fired still down by the spring. I can always buy corn for mash, after all! §;o)

[ Parent ]
You're one smart cookie (8.00 / 3)
Fantastic gizmo for harvesting the apples.  I wish I could see you doing it.

Better hide the apples good this year.  The family probably already knows most of your hiding spots.  That or they can sniff them out.

Enjoy your moonshine.  I've never had pear moonshine before, I bet its good.

My neighbor planted a pear tree last fall and I think she's going to be sorry where she planted it.  Its only about a foot and a half from her drive and about the same distance from the road. Her drive is pretty small and she has nice Mustang cars that she loves.  I bet she'll be cussing in a few years when it gets to growing.  She's got 3 lots of land so I don't know why she picked where she did.

Hahaha! (8.00 / 3)
One of our best friends is a bartender at a very popular pub and brewhouse in this region. They're noted for their Irish jam and bluegrass bands, so I'm not saying much about where the contacts are, but he's got an in for the best 'shine in the region. I don't drink hard alcohol measurably at all, but have been known to finish off the grapes or other fruits in the jars once they're empty...

Had a friend once when we lived in PA whose grandfather in WV died. He went to go check out "the operation," since he was inheritor. Told me it's a perfect system. Grow the corn (and whatever sweet) to make the mash. Make said mash. Run a batch of 'shine (~60 gallons per run). That first batch is primo, high-dollar whiskey you'll want to age and get at least $50 a quart for. Then run another batch. That'll be your everyday cheap whiskey, steady income. Then run another batch (all using the same mash mixture, add some bags of cheap sugar each time). This is the stuff you run your tractor on, so you can grow more corn!

He packed up the family and left, we never heard from him again... §;o)

Please don't worry Youff and Alma (8.00 / 8)
vet was by again this morning, Ana's doing great, and Dolores is still in what he called 1st stage - getting up and down, sometimes rolling, still discharging, but mama and baby are fine. he also told me that when her water does break it will be a heck of a lot more than what I saw... it'll be about 5 gallons. I'm just a nervous dad who really needs to stop making everyone worry  :O(

[ Parent ]
Whew! (8.00 / 8)
On both accounts. :)

Good to hear all is normal with Dolores.  Did he say how long stage 1 lasts and how many stages there are?

I think Ana must be out of the woods by now, and onto the main healing process, where all of her heart and spirit can be centered on the healing instead of so much being used to keep her alive.  Don't know if I captured the gist of what I mean in that sentence or not.  

[ Parent ]
Seems clear to me, Alma (8.00 / 6)
and what a relief to know that Dolores & the baby are fine.  ("I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no ponies...")

As for Ana, agreed: she probably needs to still take it easy, but it sounds like she's over the worst of the trauma.  I sure hope so!

as you know everything here is still under the snow.... (8.00 / 9)
so when spring reveals itself it is in the greening of he tips of the river willows....

preparation for the spring.....

but one sign of spring here is the return of the birds......

we have many feeders for the little winged folk and the juncos, nuthatches ,and many more are returning......

but my all time fave has shown up....

the flickers......

we catch wood ants from inside the house and put them in a bowl and put it outside.....

they are a very shy bird.....

the natives of this part of the world all recognized the spirit of the flicker as the soul of healing.....

and they come to our railing and eat ants.....

and mister flicker brought his mate and stood guard on a nearby tree while she ate ;)....

for me this is a powerful affirmation of the spirit of our journey,my partners and I......

I will try to take some pics but our camera is marginal at best......

flickers are very cool birds (8.00 / 7)
Never thought of them as shy -- during migration, whole flocks would come to Central Park and didn't seem disturbed by humans as long as we didn't get too close.

Not sure where you are, but juncos are winter birds here, along with titmice and nuthatches (or did you mean that those are your winter birds too?).

I'd love to see pics, btw.

E. B. White  

[ Parent ]
my partner and I....... (8.00 / 4)
live in a place with little opportunity for over wintering.....

so the birds migrate down to lower elevations.....

but when they know the turning of the wheel brings new life they return.....

perhaps the flickers where you are are accustomed to humans more than in the woods here where they are still quit wild......

and being wild they are very shy of people.....

no matter they are a special bird for me....

due to their spirit in the native belief systems.....

the natives here used to create hats from their orange feathers for healing ceremonies....

[ Parent ]
tried to get spring pics (8.00 / 9)
but my hands are very unsteady today :(
maybe a result of all the sinus drugs?
anyway....
the azaleas are starting to bloom, the wisteria is in full bloom & looks gorgeous, the lady banksia rose that has climbed the wild cherry tree has popped out since the rain yesterday & the dogwoods are in full bloom.
i like the dogwoods best... they are like lanterns in the woods, their white flowers just shine!

i did get pics of the princess off the camera & onto the computer!

when she's here she doesn't have a bath she has a sink!
(in the very same sink her mom & uncle had sinks in!)

awakening...
plans for the chicken pens & houses. i'm having to re-think the layouts, construction....
mrD tells me some things just won't work the way i thought they would.
the chicken pen we have now is maybe 50ft from the house. i can watch them from my dining room window. the new pens will be next to the garden. it will make for a longer walk to them but it will be more efficient to have them there.... to let them out to eat buggies, toss veggies with bad spots to them, & rake their pens & shovel onto the mulch pile.

new thoughts....
well maybe not new but new energy for old thoughts.
Sara's links have reawakened my sewing ideas. i like doing bibs because i can do a couple a day. i'm thinking to make miniature 'quilts' for them... little pictures of farm animals or underwater or at the beach...stuff like that.
i'll be  using flannel as 'batting' because it is absorbent and a waterproof material called PUL, otherwise known as polyurethane laminated fabric, as the backing... to keep things from leaking through onto clothes.

dinner...
tonight we're having pork chops, mashed potatoes, peas& pearl onions & pineapple rings w/brandied cherries in.

new recipe for dinner (8.00 / 9)
the savoy cabbage was so lovely at the store the other day when I went to town that I got some ground beef too and am trying a whole stuffed cabbage.  It starts with coring and freezing the cabbage instead of blanching it, that seemed like a very good idea to me.  The filling is cooked-beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cooked rice and then layered onto the now limp thawed leaves and reformed into a whole and baked with a tomato sauce.  Sounded good, report later after the whole thing is done and consumed.  That along with laundry and the continuing project of purging and organizing the back porch is as far as my aspirations for the afternoon go.  
Hope (7.86 / 7)
it tastes as good as it sounds.  Cause it really sounds yummy!  :)
[ Parent ]
me too (8.00 / 7)
as I took several different recipes to decide on what to do, one for the cabbage technique and a different one for the filling recipe and yet another for the tomato sauce.  It's the anarchist cook that I am, sometimes it works and others--the best outcome is edible but not all of my experiments have been.

My kids never liked chili, but one time I made it is really memorable.  My son asked me if it was toxic waste.  Now if that wasn't bad enough, I went to a xmas party hubbys boss was having and one of they guys, first thing he was introduced to me said, and I kid you not:"I hear you cook toxic waste."  I really loved that fellow.  He had a great sense of humor.  

[ Parent ]
But sometimes it can be (8.00 / 5)
brilliant.  There's one I really should have written down: I combined two recipes for brownies, one using cocoa & one using baker's chocolate, varying proportions of flour, baking pwd/soda, etc. accordingly.  Made it a couple of times and it was stunning.  Very rich chocolate flavor, not overly sweet.

Then I forgot which two recipes I cannibalized, and...well...that was the end of that.

There was also the parmesan & nutmeg-infused bechamel-type sauce for steamed carrots: that was a hit, too.

Then again, I've also had my share of disasters....

Ah, stuffed cabbage!  A staple in our ole' Polish kitchen...

As for me tonight, the recently-lapsed years-long vegetarian just had a small burger made from 100% grass-fed-and-finished ground beef from Deck Family Farm in Junction City, Oregon, a slice of melted Tillamook cheddar on top, on a fresh brioche bun from down the street, along with some roasted asparagus and steamed assorted raab (broccoli, brussels sprout and turnip) on the side.  

Trying to clean things out a bit, make room in the fridge for tomorrow morning's farmers' market haul!
