The Return
by Filipa Estrela

They're BACK!
They're BACK!
The Humming Birds are back!

The minuscule warriors of the Sun,
have once again return.
The sound of their buzzing wings,
in my ear still rings.

The first was but a scout.
He came so close i could have shout.
He was a valiant one,
a courageous one.
His chest was a bloody red
and it glistened as he flew above my head.
He observed as to see if anything was new,
and then into the heavens he flew.

But he is but a first.
Soon more will come to quench their thirst.
And may this glorious day,
the fifth of May,
be remembered forever more
as the day of the Return of more.

The return of more tiny warriors.
The Tiny Ruby-Throated Warriors of the Great Sun.

Sunday Afternoon

Bolo de Banana

200 g de açucar + 125 g para queimar
200 g de farinha de trigo
160 g de manteiga
4 ovos
1 colher das de sopa de leite
2 colheres das de chá de fermento em pó

Bate-se muito bem o açucar com a manteiga, junta-se o leite e em seguida os ovos, um a um e no fim a farinha peneirada com o fermento.
Barra-se a forma com o açucar queimado e colocam-se as bananas cortadas no sentido do comprimento a tapar o fundo e os lados da forma.
Vaza-se dentro a massa do bolo e vai ao forno a assar.

overwintering dahlias

Traudy dear, this is how I overwintered OUR dahlia
bulbs... I put them in these crates to dry... but I never got to the
next step which was to save them in closed paper bags...
glup... I left them like this, in my garage, all winter.



Please tell me that I did not kill them...

Sorry baby but the artichokes are not done yet.

Forcing branches
Cut the branches from flowering trees when the
temperature is above freezing, bring them intside
and put them in water. That's it. No mystery here.

Look Chris, they are out!
