Leisure time? Whats' that?

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 1:40 am

I had one of those gardening days that just doesn't warrant photographs. Cleaned out the poo and straw from the henhouse, and let the gals run loose on the prairie for a bit. One of them is eating all the eggs, I'll have to get feed with a higher calcium content or fire that hen. Started to clean under the bunny hutches, but a person can only take so much in one day, so I only got two cleared out. I'll just do the others another day. Limbed up a medium-size doug fir and discovered some daffys trying to come up under it, hopefully they'll get the sunlight they need now. There were alot more bulbs in the bucket than I had thought, and many of them were moulding. I just dumped them in a grassy spot, moved the grass over them, and wished them well. Spent about an hour planting the rest of them- like I said, alot more than I thought. They probably won't even survive, but at least now they have a fighting chance. Then I moved a little doug fir that was growing in the road easement- wrong time of year, but here's hoping.
So now I'm cleaned up and working on dinner. I use a really great salmon recipe that a friend invented. Here it is if anyone's interested- you take a chunk of salmon and drizzle it with honey. Then sprinkle it with ginger, ground mustard, cayenne, cinnamon, pepper, and garlic. Heat some olive oil in a skillet, and cook the salmon, turning it once after about 4 minutes. When it's just about done, pour some soy sauce over it. When the soy sauce starts to bubble and the salmon is completely cooked, serve it right away. I usually have this with the extra sauce over a bed of brown rice, but tonight we're having it with focaccia bread I got on special. (I suppose this would work with any fish, salmon is just what we have alot of around here)
Tried to trim my goat's hooves yesterday but the trimmers really need a good sharpening. Always a bit more to do around here than I can do in a given day. O well. Think I'll work on a drawing tonight...

Work on a painting?? You deserve a jacuzzi session and a massage. And dinner out.

You made me quite hungry longing for that salmon Critter. How am I supposed to sleep now?

WOW! You've been working HARD today.
I don't think I'd have the energy to paint my toenails
after doing all that.

Sooooo what did you do for the rest of the day then?!!!! LOL
I had to make myself a cuppa and sit down for half an hour after reading about your day. I hope at least some of those bulbs come up for you. What are you drawing at the moment? I've hit a wall with my sketching but no doubt the urge will return soon.

I'm so glad I stopped by. I have salmon fillets thawing right now. I usually just sear them with salt and pepper but this sounds SO much better.

Hubby told me to make sure I stopped by and told you how much we liked the salmon. I mixed up some of the dry to keep in the fridge. Thanks.
