The sun was out and a cool breeze kept the sun from completely baking me. Never-the-less, the ever present collection of exoitic weeds required much digging and grunting effort from me, to yield the finished product. Mind you as I dug, I managed to produce several fully formed ready for cooking potatoes. Yes! You&#8217;ve never seen anyone as I excited as me as I pulled those spuds out. Not sure from whence they came, but happy to eat the results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-609\" alt=\"mid way through\" src=\"http:\/\/waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/mid-way-through.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So today I tilled and toiled, tomorrow I will sow and hopefully in about 12-14 weeks I shall reap my rewards. Pretty sunflowers, and a plethora of free mint in the minty corner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-608\" alt=\"done\" src=\"http:\/\/waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/done.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sitting out in the cool, surveying the back lawn, I see a sea of dandelion tufts. Its funny how life&#8217;s perspective on things changes. When I was a kid, nothing would give me greater pleasure that yanking one of those tufts up and blowing hard to release the seeds, and watching them ascend into the air. Now I look and them and think, aww crap, weeds!<\/p>\n<p>Until next time<\/p>\n<p>Stay Nice!<\/p>\n<p>Cyndia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, after a fairly busy breakfast, I&#8217;m not sure what really possessed me, but I decided to tackle the spot that I had been eyeing off for some time as a new sunflower garden. \u00a0\u00a0 The poor unloved piece of earth, right behind room 12 and 11, was crying out for some lovin&#8217;, and now &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":606,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604\/revisions\/606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waterfrontwynyard.com\/motel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
