Having my coffee. Kind of late this morning. Trying to get used to my new routine. DS got married Saturday and they are off on their honeymoon. When the get back, my new DIL will be fixing breakfast for him and I am not sure if I will get up before them to start my simple breakfast or eat...

I had my coffee and walked around the garden. I have been thinking of what worked and did not work. One thing is NEVER plant Grandpa Ott or morning glories on a fence with shorter flowers or actually ANYTHING. LOL These things have about taken over. They are in the garden, so I cannot see them...

I have been eating some lettuce, radishes, onions and yesterday and today I fried zucchini and squash. The beans are starting to get flowers. I have been eating green beans from the freezer almost daily. I have bell peppers that are supposed to turn red, but I think I might pick them green or...

I really liked Shredded Wheat with I think hot water poured over. I don't remember what it was now. I think hot water. That does not sound as good as your hot chocolate. lol

It is 89 right now and past noon and I am having my second cup of coffee. I was out doing some weeding and gave the rabbit her jug of ice. I will go drink a bunch of water in a few minutes. I made rhubarb lemonade that I have been drinking. My flowers are blooming here and there. I have a...

DS and I were having a discussion about what kind of a mother I was to him and DD. He remembers I did not buy Cocoa Puffs he wanted. LOL

I was coming to ask about Ruth Stout and I decided to do a search and found this. I was afraid it was too good to be true. I think also slugs would just love it. I am going to try the no dig method. This fall I am going to put cardboard down and compost. Well, that is the plan, I think.

Having my coffee second cup. I went out and fed the rabbit earlier and walked around looking at the garden. We had a HUGE rain for us on Thursday with thunder and lightening. I got the pole beans weeded and ready to put string up for them to climb. I will go out later and do some more weeding...

Having my coffee and finished breakfast. The garden is coming along. I am getting a few radishes and some lettuce. The pole beans are about ready to start climbing. I started more things for a fall planting that I am not sure will work, but I have Swiss chard, kale, collards, lettuce and a...

Congratulations! Fifty is a nice number. I am not sure how many will actually show up for DS's wedding in Sept.

I had my coffee early and woke up to rain. I have flower seedlings in cups on the patio so I had to move them and bring some inside. It is 56 now and rain off and on and 39 tonight.

Raining here too. We had a little bit of sleet. We are just right outside of the frost warning tonight. I think might even be freeze warning for some. It will be about 38 here I think.

That is a lot of information and a lot of snapdragon care. LOL. I am not sure they will survive me taking care of them. I will read more. Thank you.

It is a card came.

Oh, I forgot about the snapdragons. I did read that and I forgot. I also have the old herb garden and I have thought about taking all the flowers out and just plant grass, but I have so many little seedlings to plant, I may fill this area up. It is full of daisies mostly. There is some apple...

Well, here it is almost 4 years later and I am paying attention to the poor David phlox. I bought a phlox at a plant sale the other day and realized she was digging up starts from her garden that had spread from seeds. I started wondering about the white phlox I have and went out and because of...

I had my coffee and I am trying to decide where to plant some flowers I started. I have never planted asters or snapdragons. I started seed in May and they have been outside and hardened off. If I plant them now, will either one of them bloom this year? the snapdragons are perennial, so I am...

I love Crazy Eights. I taught Evelyn how to play recently. My aunt taught me how to play when I was very young. DH, DD and I used to play years ago when I was pregnant with DS.

I had my coffee. My brother was over last night and DS and his future wife were here. We played Phase 10. I won. lol It is supposed to rain and have a lot of wind today and tomorrow. We escaped the frost and warm weather coming this weekend.

I have been busy all day. I went to a local nursery place and bought 2 perennial baby breath plants. DD has been wanting one, so I got it for her birthday which is in 2 days and I got one for me. The weather is just something else. Really nice and then really windy and lots of nice rain, but...
