I am getting ready for my second cup of coffee. I went out and looked at the garden. It raised a little yesterday and everything is getting ready to just take off. I have a huge hollyhock on the fence that just seemed to grow a foot overnight. This compost that I bought is making such a...

I had my coffee and it was 49 degrees when I went outside. I think the peas and the lettuce are happy, but I am not sure about the Crenshaw melon. I escaped the hand, foot and mouth. DD and the twins escaped too. I am so glad and i have no idea how she did it. her husband did get sick and he...

The baby's breath is really taking off in the new spot and it still is getting a lot of water, so I am not sure why it was not growing in the other spot, but there is a lot of new growth.

I have been eating some kale, radishes, walking onions and Chinese cabbage. I will have raspberries soon and cherry tomatoes. I planted lettuce kind of late, so I have not had that yet.

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!

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...
