Finally some sunshine

We had a very nice weekend. Finally some sunshine.

Speaking of sunshine, that is Rachel's new nickname. Here's how I came to it - Rachel --> Ray Ray --> Ray --> Ray of Sunshine --> Sunshine. So that's it. Besides, she is my sunshine, even on rainy days.

Here are a couple of cute pics of my little Sunshine:





Some exciting gardening news, I have little tiny baby lettuce plants. I can just taste the fresh garden salad. Mmmmm. And just think of the BLTs that come from my garden. The only problem is that I haven't been able to find any bacon seeds to plant.

Bacon Plant so Funny where did you here that

Malauna said...

And to think that your dad made his living in farming. Bacon seeds indeed.

And your sunshine is a cutie!

If you want me too, I can find a little piggy to live in your backyard --that little piggy grows bacon without soil. Pretty amazing!

Noelle said...

That would be a great idea, Holly, but I have researched it a little, and the harvesting of the bacon from the piggy sounds a little unpleasant to me.

How do you like the name, Kiran (pronounsed Kee-run), which means a ray of sunshine in Hindi... "A rose by any other name...", she's still a cutie.

Noelle said...

Renuka,
I looked it up. Kiran is a good name, but the site I went to said it was a boys name. Is that true?

I have to say, I'm impressed you already have your garden in and that it's sprouting. I am still in the 'thinking about how I'm going to do it' phase!

Noelle said...

Marla, that was me last year. I spent last year figuring out and learning. This year I am far from an expert, but I hope I am at least a little bit better. Around here most things go in the ground around Derby Day (after that last frost). Lettuce, though, is frost hardy, and last year I planted it too late. Hopefully my crop will be a little better this year.

It can be a girl's or a boy's name - some Hindu names can be that way!
