Had 1st/4 in home physical therapy visits today. My left leg is not swollen nearly as much as my right leg was last Fall. We measured a bend of 80 degrees--I am supposed to reach 90 degrees in the next 10 days, which will be doable. Stretching out my pain medications, BUT, ever since the...

If there is any blame to go around, I would suggest looking at the Real Estate agents who saw opportunity many years ago to build in a place that wasn't built FOR GOOD REASONS. We saw the same thing with houses washed away during Hurricane Sandy, building on properties that should be left...

@Marie2020 , Prayers sent for your comfort. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Although there were the regulars who spent a $lot more than we did and put on a show, we lit up our north pasture last Friday night. Here are a few shots of our festivities. And, Yes, you spotted it--we used a tomato cage instead of a bottle to support the rockets. It worked very well.

Pray for those suffering in the Texas Hill Country Dear Friend, Our hearts break for those who have been devastated by the catastrophic flooding in central Texas. Over 100 lives were lost as the Guadalupe River turned into a torrent in the early hours of July 4. We immediately dispatched...

Sweet wishes back at you, Steve!! :love I am looking forward to aNOTHER 12 hr night of sleeping bliss! ...and, a new knee.

Hollyhocks grow in different colors, no guarantee of any particular color. They will come up every year and you will get yellow, but maybe next year.

I would like suggestions as to what perennial to plant near Eva's grave. Right now I am starting seeds in this blue pot, but I don't leave nice ceramic pots out all year. Ice will crack it. Now that I have room in my carriage house my big ceramic pots will live there upside down during the...

Being outside all afternoon in muggy heat I think it was 10-20 degrees F cooler in the shade, so , Yes!

DD's sat down DH and myself to decide what to do with all of the stuff in our "Carriage House", a building that could house a single car, which is 1/3 of our outbuildings, if you count the barn. We Finally made the decision to market/sell the small trailer. We bought it from a guy some 25 or...

I went festive in my bathroom, with extra hand dry towels for family visiting for the fireworks, which a neighbor shoots off, while we all sit in my north pasture. What are YOU doing, how are you decorating?

Thanks for ALL of the prayers for Eva. She went peacefully with the help of a strong sedative and VERY strong pain medication (I am familiar with that) on Wednesday. See my thread for the grave. PLEASE pray for the safety of all of the people along the Guadeloupe River in Texas! Catestrophic...

🙏 🙏 🙏 for everyone's safety.

I completely disassembled my 3' x 6' salad garden bed to be used as Eva's gravesite. I still have broken cattle fencing from the direchio and limbs falling on it from 2 years ago on the fence 12 ft from the street, south yard. I messed up a mower and had to have it repaired bc I didn't see the...

Thank you ALL for your well wishes. I will continue to grieve, but I won't revisit this Here until we reset the pavers/grave in September. First real garlic harvest this week. I harvested 43 Great Lakes porcelain garlic. Since I mucked them up and had to remove straw around them to give them...
