It feels cooler today. The last 2 days we had hot in the 90s. I think it will be close to that today, but cloudy and feels nice outside right now. I have had a cup of coffee and getting ready to go back outside. I will have some Sun Gold cherry tomatoes real soon. Things look good and I have a...
DD and I were just talking about we have not had a thunder storm. All spring we have had some rain, but we have not heard thunder or seen any lightening. I told her that is what I miss about living in Oklahoma, but after reading your storm story, I am less homesick for storms. LOL
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...
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 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 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...
