Instead of duck soup we dined at the Bowerman Mansion last evening when we took Bennet in to hitch a ride north. It was a delightful evening and so nice to not have to cook or dine alone, not that I don’t love quiet family meals, but every once in a while it is nice to have friends to dine with!
I did eventually get an asparagus bed weeded as planned but first Bet and I took the better part of the day off and watched BBC’s North and South. I wasn’t paying very close attention when Bet suggested what we watch. I thought we would be watching something set around the Civil War. And sure enough, it was set in the mid 1800’s but in England. I had no idea that England had obvious cultural differences between their northern and southern regions. Nice to know there is still lots to learn about the world I live in. I’m glad Bet picked something that was educational, lot less guilt for wastin’ my yesterday away.
It is a beautiful day out today! None of the fog that was predicted, we often seem to be just south of the Puget Sound fog line. So I am heading out to do more in the Barn Garden before my GrandBoys arrive for the weekend plus. Yet another nice surprise. I did know about it two weeks back but it is always a nice surprise to get them for an extended stay. It is often easier for everyone in their neighborhood when they stay closer to home so they can take care of dogs and chickens. So this is a special treat for Dirt, Auntie Bet and I.
oboy, grandbabies! woo hoo!
smiles, bee

Have a great weekend..spoiling those boys! I will have to see about BBC and their North and South..I like History kinds of stuff too:)
Nice to see you watching a little bit of the UK on TV Lanny.
Also glad no fog for you.
Have a nice Sunday.
Lanny, I’m sorry to hear in your earlier post that the calf didn’t make it. It wasn’t for a lack of trying on your part. That must have been difficult for you.
As for the good surprises in this post, dinner with the Bowermans sounds like a grand time indeed. Hurray for beautiful days and visits from your grandsons too. I hope you have a wonderful time with them.
There’s always been a divide between the north and south Lanny. Generally financially these days, but also culturally and with speech pattens and dialects. I guess it must be the same in the States, where you have the top states like New York, and the country bumpkins of Louisana
Glad you got out and enjoyed yourself : ) I also enjoyed reading all the posts below-my your farm stay busy and I always enjoy reading about the goings on!
