Granddaughters 1 and 2 did us proud again this week. #1 had her final high school band concert last night. She was recognized for her good grades and for her band achievements. #2 was inducted into the Junior National Honor Society this morning. They are both beautiful. And kind.

After the induction ceremony, I went to a greenhouse for peppers and found some that weren't outrageously hot - bell, cayenne, and jalapeno. Normally, I don't put cayenne in my pepper jelly, but I might this year.
I also got a bag of high-nitrogen fertilizer and sprinkled a little bit of it - maybe a cup full, maybe two - over the compost pile. My sister says nitrogen will heat the compost and speed decomposition. I turned the pile a little bit to shake the fertilizer down through the leaves, and it's wet from last night's rain. Maybe it'll get to cooking.
The rain we got was a gentle one, just the kind to plump up the seeds. It's supposed to be warm this weekend. I'm looking forward to a record-breaking seed-sprouting week.
That is, if my seeds weren't too old.
