This morning I decided not to have my usual boiled eggs and oatmeal after reading where somebody said oats are only good for fattening horses. and it is doing a good job with me LOL. I decided to go out to the garden and get some kale and garlic scapes and I cooked that with some fried eggs...

I have crows that wake me up at 4 a.m. When it is hot I like to have my window open and right when it is getting nice and cool, I have to get up and shut the window. Yesterday they were in the tree outside my window and upset with a squirrel. Sometimes I have thought they are looking in my...

So far it looks good and may be growing some. I saw DD's yesterday and it is really nice. Mine is not even a 1/4 the size of hers.

I had 2 cups of coffee with breakfast of boiled eggs and oatmeal. DS and his wife made some kind of fruit smoothies, so I had that for brunch with a piece of bacon. I started putting string up for the pole beans and did some weeding.

DD planted hers on a fence that does not get hit by the sprinkler, so it gets watered less. It is not garden soil. She just dug out along the fence which is all grass. I told her there might be seeds, but as thick as the grass is, I do not see how hers would spread other than getting bigger. I...

Last year I bought 2 perennial baby's breath plants. I gave one to DD and I planted one. This spring her plant is huge and mine is very small. I read they do not need much water and like well drained soil. I dug mine up and put in soil that i think is less fertile and drains good, but my...

I have been away since Mother's Day. I have been busy. I have 4 metal boxes planted and other things in the ground. I just ordered 2 more. Between my sewing, gardening and grandchildren I have been busy. May 31st was DD's birthday and everybody came here. My 4-year-old granddaughter started...

I was reading posts this morning and I was going to say Happy Mother's Day, but I had to leave. I was drinking my coffee and DD brought the twins over. Her husband and 3 kids went to church which is a couple of blocks away and she brought the twins here to feed them and change diapers. She is...

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope you are feeling better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are a couple weeks younger than me. lol They say the new pope is YOUNG and he will be 70 in Sept., so I hope they don't start calling him old when he gets to 70. LOL

I would LOVE to be your neighbor! Thank you.

I made coffee this morning for me and DS. His wife is out of town and for some reason my coffee was not good. We had errands to do, so I am going to go make a different pot of coffee. We did our grocery shopping, did a couple errands for DD and I got a yard of compost for the garden. I just...

I am having my coffee. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and congratulations. It has been a very big busy 6 days. Lucy was kept in the NICU all this time. They wanted to make sure she was okay. She had a feeding tube in through her nose to feed her if she did not take enough bottle...

Well, DD did it. She had the twins on my birthday. Not as planned. Emergency C-section. Carried them 39 weeks and 4 days. She was bleeding. Had one of the placentas tearing. DD had to have a transfusion, lost some blood. She is doing fine now. Penelope Jane weighs 8 pounds 11 oz and is fine...

Well now DD is 39 weeks and 1 day. All is well. She could go full term to 40 weeks. Tomorrow is my parents wedding anniversary. IF they were alive they would be celebrating 71 years. My birthday is Saturday and I will be celebrating 70 years, so twins on my birthday would be fun. I...

Still drinking my coffee. I got up several times during the night to check on DD. She is now 38 weeks and 3 days. She was having odd things last night and she was not sure if it was time for the babies, but she finally got to sleep. She is doing really well. I see no reason why she would have...

I have 3 barrels to use for compost and they are too big for me to handle when full. I just realized, I do not have to fill them to the top. I can fill them way less and dump and put back in. I am dumping them out soon and I will use what I have for the raised beds that I am going to make this...

Tried the coffee in the pot, but I had to dump it out and make my own. I have been on line paying bills this morning. I built a fire. It was in the 30s when I got up. The sun is out and about 43 right now. There will be a low of 28 tonight and then by Saturday we will get in the 60s. I saw bee...

I do not have enough room inside really. I may have to put things in the floor at night and move outside during the day, at least things that can take the cooler weather. The onions are going to stay outside. I am waiting for money to appear. lol I have spent a lot of money on the twins...
