His name is DYLAN JAMES, born 6:52 a.m. Sept. 15 weighing eight pounds even, 20 and one-half inches long! BIG HEALTHY BOY! God has truly blessed me! I AM SO OVERHWHELMED WITH JOY... have cried tears of Joy! When will I come back to earth you other G'mas? I CAN HARDLY WAIT for our outings, and let the SPOILING BEGIN!

He's a keeper, alright!!! LOL I remember when my first grandchild was born, 19 years ago.My how time flys when you're having fun!! Such a glorious feeling! I now have 8, the youngest of whom will be 3 in Dec. and they are all precious, but I think that first one, is always special. :)
Enjoy him Nancy, and yes, by all means, spoil him rotten!

Annie and Lou...okay I've got it now...panini is a grilled sandwich and the process sounds like what is called here either a croque-monsieur...grilled ham and cheese on sliced bread or a 'pepito', usually a thin slice of cooked pork loin inside a small baquette toasted on an oiled grill with a heavy lid that presses it down flat. That was a favourite snack food in my daughter's office when she worked here, as there was a sandwich bar across the road, with delivery. Grace your creamed eggs on homemade bread with bacon is making me really hungry! And Lou you are an expert at preparing chicken. I love your deer Lou. I always feel sorry that everyone wants to chase them away, but I guess if they came into my garden and starting eating my roses I would feel the same. At the moment the magical month of May is so beautiful...and the purple larkspur is out and I didn't even plant it! There must have been some seeds in the compost we spread around. Peaches are nearly ripe and roses are everywhere. Yesterday we went to a favourite Italian restaurant up on a hill as I'm doing a review of it this weekend and although I have enough photos I needed some more info on prices and opening times. Wolf loves this place and would like to try everything on the menu but as it was, he settled for a half portion of egg scrambled with smoked salmon and spinach. I took my favourite oriquiette with gorgonzola sauce. Pic of the restaurant below. We sat inside though as it was a bit breezy.

Oh, Jasdip, that's pretty. I love wood, Dad built and designed furniture and pushed me into taking wood shop when I was in high school so we'd have "something to do together". Like farming wasn't enough, LOL. Chloebud, I wouldn't have let that go either. I have one that Dad made, it's round and heavy, probably 2 feet "deep" with three legs. It's in the tool shed, covered with a tarp, because I just don't know what to do with it. Elery says he would like to use the front portion of the pole barn for his smoker, grill, meat cutting tools, and he could put it there, and that just might be the perfect place. As soon as we get that room cleaned out, LOL. Bragu, you're right, it might be the perfect project for Bud. And I won't tell him I have a small electric sander that I use for my butcher block countertops, I'll just give him some sandpaper, that'll take a while, LOL. Dcarch, what happens when my very sharp knives go through the article being cut/chopped and cuts the shopping bag to shreds? Nancyofnc, that IS sad. Funny, but sad..... LindaC, I've done that with my girls, they "borrow" something, love it and I just go get another one. Many times it's something I didn't use all that much anyway. chipotle and dees, yours sounds even heavier than mine and mine is pretty substantial. I have found that it fits right over my sink, and gives me some extra counter space, so I'm liking that a LOT. plllog, I wish mine had a "channel" and I just might take the router and make one. But right now it's extra counter space and so I'll leave it be. For now. Annie

Ok, now I am the one that lost what they had been typing. This had NEVER happened to me..but the browser suddenly refreshed to a blank page. Oh my...well I need to eat my own medicine and start typing in a word processor and then copy/pasting again. Weather...weather is cold, wet, and very windy. I am loving being retired with nothing to do but huddle in my soft warm fleecy bathrobe...it’s a good day for it. I’ll have to get out and walk Jasper about 4 though. While I was typing the first time, I had to stop and think..did I walk him this morning with everything going on? And the answer was yes. I’ll wear (which for me is a ‘gasp’) long pants, and a light coat with a hood. It’s like it’s winter or something! I think we can’t visit the dog park this weekend, it’ll be a muddy mess. So it’s probably a greenway paved trail walk time. Today started with house-cleaning (and I hate cleaning) and taking out trash. Then the AT&T installation of fiber-optic internet (and darn if I can’t tell that it’s any faster, despite being 4x faster down and 30x faster up). Then trying to interface with Moni, every time one is busy or the other is busy when one tried to call. We finally got it done and settled. I had to move furniture around too for the install (getting all the wires, cables, stands, chairs) out of the way. Then of course I had to move them back to protect wires and cables from dogs (hopefully). And darn, if despite the down speed being 4x and the up speed being 30x faster (according to a speed test), I can’t tell any difference yet. I need to download some big things and see if I can see faster. First freeze/hard frost (32) is forecast for Thursday for us. I do want (tomorrow..when sunny and warmer) to get out and forage in the yard, the rain and cooler temps have caused some spring greens to come up. I can collect some plantains, dandelions, violets, and dock and have some wilted greens to supplement the lack of green vegetables I don’t usually eat. It sounds like things are coming together for several of you. Nancy, there’s one good thing, you can keep track of hubby easily for a while..he won’t be going anywhere.

Mantis, some of the pinks I showed are new for me this year and I can't comment much on performance.....but I will try to take the time to give my evaluations from now on since I agree with you that it's helpful. I was rushing to get the photos up. As for Pinewood Strawberry Moon, I wanted to get it and found it after much searching. Strangely, it went completely dormant and underground in September so I hope I didn't lose it. I did get it's pollen and have several crosses with it to start over the winter and sell. For a new plant, it bloomed very well and seemed vigorous so I don't know what happened. As for Boss Hogg, it is fairly new and taking it's sweet time doing much, just like RFK. Both started as single fans and RFK is still a single fan going into it's 3rd year. I've moved it twice hoping that would help. I'm frustrated by it's lack of vigor and increase. Boss Hogg bloomed ok but all the foliage you see in the photo is actually from plants around it. It isn't much of a plant yet.

What a beautiful little boy! I can't imagine being a grandma yet - my oldest is in 2nd grade, and my second/youngest is going into preschool. I KIND of remember when they were so tiny and new! Time flies. Enjoy your precious little grandson - and SPOIL AWAY!

THANK YOU ALL! I am TRULY BLESSED!
Laurel, what is funny about this situation is I still have two young ones of my own at home! Four children, Courtney will turn 22 next month, Shannon (new mama) is 19 yrs. The two still at home are Alexis, 13 yrs., and my only son, Madison is nine yrs. old. Now Madison has always wanted a little brother (could it be because he has grown up around a bunch of girls? LOL!
I told Madison he is now an Uncle, but her prefers to be Dylan's BIG BROTHER....LOL!
I'm going to the hospital now to help the happy couple and baby to get all their things home. WE ARE ALL SO EXCITED!

Most babies are less than cute shortly after being born. I should know as all of mine were butt ugly! He's not that way though. That last shot is absolutely wonderful. Certainly shows an innocence and security in his surroundings. I bet he'll be an easy keeper baby. Sure looks like he sleeps good!

And I just bet Granny Nancy will be willing to baby sit most any time!!
He certainly is adorable, Nancy. It's been a while since we had a new one in our family. My youngest grandson will be 3 in December! They just grow up way to fast, these days.
Keep posting those pics Nancy, and we'll keep ooohhing, and aaaawwwing, over the little bundle of joy!! :)

He's beautiful, Nancy, just adorable. Our son was cute like that, but our daughter was not quite so pretty. (NOW she's absolutely beautiful, a real angel.) I hope Dylan is an easy baby for your daughter. It's amazing how different babies are - my kids were middle-of-the-road to fairly easy as infants; my sisters kids ran the gamut from extremely difficult to pretty easy.

Nancy,

I'm adding my congrats a little late here!! Beautiful grandson you have there.
Are you still gonna have time for daylilies? :)
I chuckled when I read that he won't stay awake. I'm betting it won't be too long you'll wish he would take a nap so you could sit down for a minute :)
Congratulations again, and enjoy your new bundle of joy!!!

OH THANK YOU ALL for your additional comments! COURSE I AM STILL ON CLOUD NINE! Nothing beats holding and cuddling a brand new bundle, listening to the baby coos as he sleeps, the facial expressions he has....HE JUST MELTS MY HEART!
Tammy, with a nine year old son still at home...YOU KNOW I will be relishing the nap time! As far as the flowers go....that's where the kids know to find me, I can vision Dylan running right behind my two youngest and picking me flowers....LOL!
I got a box this week which was a TOTAL SURPRISE! My dear Shelly sent me a T-shirt with an embroidered choo-choo on it. Below the choo-choo in my favorite color of purple is DYLAN'S NANA. Now how sweet is that?
I'm not very photogenic but had to share the pic of my T-shirt as I JUST LOVE IT!

He is precious, Nancy. You have good blood in that young one. He is going to be a very teriffic daylily breeder and very famous. He's gonna do them just for you!!!

We had a good Thanksgiving week, also. My youngest went home today and it seems so very quite tonight. We did some gourmet cooking..( we just do that when she's here because she loves it ). Myself, I am a fried potatoes, pinto beans and cornbread kinda gal. We made Gnocchi for a dish that she created with chicken and sour crem and mushroom sauce. For some of you who may not know what gnocchi is...Italian Dumplings sorta thing. They were delicious....

Well, for some of you, it's back to the grind tomorrow...Ellie

OH THANK YOU ALL for your words of Joy! How can one explain....I feel beyond seventh heaven when I get to visit him! Starting to show that little personality, nothing like it in this world! IN LOVE FOREVER!

Chris....I just turned 45 last month and feel every year of it!

Rick, you are certainly right....with those forearms I'll just bet he'll love helping Nana up to about age 16

Ellie....VERY HEALTHY APPETITE! You really know I AM SPOILING HIM! For some reason I do not have it in my head that he would be a weeder for me, but if I start him young he'll think its a part of his everyday routine....LOL! I figure he'll really enjoy getting pulled around in the wagon!

Jill....You certainly have your hands full with a 3 year old! I still have my daughter (soon to be 14 yrs.) and my son who will be 10 on May 2nd living at home. My two eldest daughers have moved in two different directions, Enjoy your young one while you can as they grow SO FAST!
