Garden’s up, surf’s up (yes, there is surfing in New England) — 13 Comments

  1. Okay, I don’t know if you can help me, but I think maybe you will understand. I see all this crazy blog spam everywhere (I see some here) and I’m wondering if you know how we can stop it. I just have a site about spf shirts, and I can’t even go find information on spf shirts without having to filter through all the junk. My blog gets totally bombarded with this rediculously spam. I hope you’re not as frustrated as my self. Anyway, good luck with your blog, and let me know if you have any ideas…

    Thanks.

  2. Good comments. But, I do not agree with most of them. People sure have a lot of time on their hands.

  3. We have broken our seven year drought in Utah.

    My strawberries are in full bloom, and the only plant not going full bore to blossom and leaf is my catawba tree, which always keeps us thinking the damn thing is dead until early June every year.

    All those connected folks in Utah, Salt Lake, and Weber counties who finnagled code variances over the last five years or so to build their dream homes on land that was rightfully defined as “critical slope” hillsides are finding out what the spring thaw and rain means.

    The Wasatch mountains are youngun’s as mountains go – the topsoil clings to upthrust rock clines that are often steeper than twenty percent. Once the soil is saturated it just starts downhill and no amount of rock retaining walls or high-end architecture will make any difference where it stops.

    I surveyed a few subdivisions back in the nineties that are currently heading for the bottom of the slope they were built on. Sad stuff.

  4. There are Irish surfers as well, quite a few of them; my brother, the former SoCal surfer is among them. There is a site for the west coast of Ireland that is hosted by a surf shop in Lahinch (better known for golf courses).

  5. Surfer motto: “You can only drown once (or twice)”? My theory: they are or have become ADHS victims, only able to feel alive when tempting a big comber to forcefully merge them with the seabed.

  6. Nature dictates and we mortals adapt. The seasons give us variety and make each day bearable. Spring is very special except for the pollen! Charleston, South Carolina (my city) is beautifull year round, but in Spring it is ethereal!

  7. My tulips said goodbye a couple of weeks ago as the tattered but still vibrantly red petals gave it up and fluttered to the ground. We’ve passed through a glorious dogwood spring as mother nature was kind here in east TN and we had no cruel freezing of the flower buds. Now I’m prowling about awaiting the swollen peonies to fully open and show off their sumptuousness. Also all the hostas are unfurling and showing me who got bigger and more lush. Hmmm, maybe I’m most excited about the hosta although in another month I’ll take them for granted and I’ll be doing my dance of joy among the circus of daylillies. I love the life in the garden.

  8. You paint a nice textual picture!

    We have had flowers blooming in W. Texas for almost a month now and the trees are in full leaf.

    You do, however, make me pine for my days near the ocean in Hawaii…surfing and paddling outrigger canoes. We have great beaches in W. Texas but lack any water.
