Good morning all y'all! Critters fed, poultry tended, gardens checked. Already finding some striped cucumber beetles on my zucchini. I need to go to Rural King today so may look for nematodes. Dad's deposits and some other errands on the to-do list today. #holsteinhouse #garden #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! Porch garden coming along. Strawberries, tomatoes and peas. My peppers are slow to grow but hanging in there. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! Today is forecasted to be the hottest on record so far for 2025. All critters and poultry tended. Garden watered. Here’s a petunia my grandnephew gave me for Mother’s Day. #holsteinhouse #flowers #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Strawberries! I love my strawberries. This year I have eight hanging baskets of them. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #strawberries #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Porch peas producing. This container variety of pea will provide a few snacks to porch sitting guests. 😋 #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y'all! It's 51* out this morning. A very nice start to the day! No rain in the forecast for a change! Tomato plant starting to bloom. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! A break in the rain gave me time to do a couple small things. Ran some twine for the peas. My trellis isn’t quite tall enough. Pulled weeds back from trombochino and luffa. Pulled some suckers from tomatoes. Moved those tropical plants he brought home to the front porch. They are actually Blood banana, Begonia, Plumeria, Upright elephant ear, Silver vase. #holsteinhouse #garden #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

So pretty. View quoted note →

Good morning all y'all! Another busy day but did get a few minutes in the garden. Beans are blooming, peas are also. Some peas will be ready before long. I can't wait! #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

I want to remind everyone that the United States would not be the free nation it is today without the ultimate sacrifices of the men, and women of our armed forces. In February 1918, my maternal grandfather Everett Mullins joined the U.S. Army Marine Corps at age 22. Following a shortened basic training program on Parris Island, he departed for France, arriving in June. His brother Howard joined the U.S Army Infantry around the same time and trained at then Camp Logan, in Houston Texas, also sent to France. My grandfather saw battle in July that year at Parcy-Tigny, France, then spent considerable time in field hospitals due to influenza, lung infections, and shell-shock. Howard was killed-in-action during the battle of the Meuse-Argonne, France, on October 9, 1918. Memorial Day is a day to honor those who did not make it home. Those who fell in battle, or shortly after. Those whose bones may have been buried on foreign soil. Before we light the grills, put the boats in water, attend festivals or parties, please take a few minutes to thank God for sending those men and women who were willing to step up and protect, not only us, but other nations under siege. #MemorialDat2025 #ParcyTigny #WWI #KIA #Mullens #Mullins #MeuseArgonne
