Even with our two raised beds we still have a lot of plants in pots and barrels.  Some of the pots have found a home on the plant stand that James found by the dumpster last year.  We like the green of all of the plants, but I decided that I would add some color with some potted vinca.  This morning as we were fertilizing and watering before work these few blooms were just starting to open.

In other very good news we are starting to see a lot of blooms on the tomato plant.  The plants have taken awhile to start blooming, but they are big and healthy so I guess they were just taking their time.  Yay! TOMATOES!

Saw this shirt on Shirt.Woot.com today – had to share with my fellow BBQ buddies.  If you are a BBQ fan, you will love this Evolution of BBQ shirt…

This shirt is too sweet, and I just picked me one up.  But just like everything on Woot… it won’t be around for long at 10$, so if you want it, better get to it!  (hat tip: @zealotonastick)

This past weekend I went on a short fishing trip with some friends and early Sunday morning, as I pulled out of the camp site and onto the main highway – I spotted this pair of friends.

(click here for larger image)

What a strange site as I rounded the corner.  We had seen this large bull the night before when we were pulling into camp, but his little friend wasn’t there with him at the time.  I am no bird expert, but I have seen this bird walking the shallow water eating bait fish on several occasions – just don’t know the name. 

I assume they are a racist duo, as they were seemingly mocking the black cows and birds – same with the brown ones.  **shakes head** Chatting away as I drove by…  one of them said something about Obama (my bird is a lil rusty – but it was something about gun control). 

In all seriousness – it was a neat photo opp and glad I could share these guys with you.
