Good Morning!

14 years ago

Good morning everyone. Well, the rain we had hoped for has bypassed us! So I am watering my garden again. Things do look good out there, I am hoping for some ripe tomatoes in a few weeks. Cheryl planted more sweet corn yesterday and Kentucky Wonder beans. The first planting of sweet corn is up and looking good. The bush beans look good also. I have been out planting flowers in my flower bed under my living room window. I plan to go out again after lunch and work some more. House work can wait. I have a very busy week this week. What are you all doing and did you get any rain?

Water aerobics rained out!
Friend called and is picking me up for potluck luncheon.

That's it for the day!

We'll do grocery shopping this afternoon and run some other errands. Hopefully, the store won't be crowded. Yeah, nice thought. It's sunny this morning, but rain expected later this afternoon. Sure hope it holds off until we get home.

Sorry the rain passed you by, Sue. We've had a lot of rain lately but we're still 10" below what we should be for this time of year.

What a spectacular house and setting! No, I wouldn’t paint the cedar shakes. The natural look is perfect with this color scheme.

I mowed - again - today, I had just mowed last Thursday but the grass was so high already. Normally I don't like a "sheared" lawn, but I set the deck too low on my mower and didn't realize it. Since it would look weird to do the rest on a higher setting I continued. Golf course like lawns make me uncomfortable! lol Besides all the little wild flowers got their heads chopped off. Maybe I won't have to mow for awhile now though it being so short. There are so many violets and other wild flowers in the orchard that I have a hard time mowing them, so I leave small patches here and there. The ground itself is still very damp. Sometimes when I sit on a chair at my small table down there, a chair leg or two will sink right into the soil sending me backwards. I've learned to be quick to jump off! I think I will plant ever bearing strawberries in my mailbox cover this year just for something different. They will have a white bloom and hopefully have berries most of the summer. At least that's what I envision, will see if it works out.

Hard to order anything bulky that doesn’t get abused and arrive with some damage. Can you live with it? If not, I hope you didn’t destroy the packaging even more because you will be required to repackage it and send it back in most cases. Maybe you can get a slight discount for the damage? The problem with ordering anything is if you need to return it.

Update on the day: The living room is so clean. The floor looks fantastic, the furniture is polished, fabrics are washed, cords are corralled. I’m even up to date on the Murdaugh trial, having listened to the Netflix doc at the same time. The poor kitty ventured out once the vacuuming stopped. I haven’t done much in there ever since DH moved his office home…noise, bustle, commentary, meals, etc. But now it looks so good, the dining room next door to it wants a spa day, too! For now, I’m going to collapse in a clean chair with a glass of wine and watch something entertaining.

Getting ready to go pick up my grandaughter, Bailey, for some shopping.. Then off to our grandson's ball game at 6. They have only lost 1 game. We have had some barn burnner games. A grandma said the other night, "I sure hope they don't throw us grandparents out for getting so rowdy." Gavin hit a triple out into the outfield and scored the winning run.. We have a really small little boy on the team. It looks like he can barely hold the bat up. He has really been hitting the ball, too. So darn much fun.

The sun is shining in So. Oregon today, and it is promising to warm up at last. My wee garden is showing promise, and I have been harvesting large bowls of strawberries for two days now. Raspberries should produce a few cups today, so all is well with the world.And the garage sale is OVER....never to be considered again! We filled 3 big bins at the Salvation Army with leftovers. Methinks that would have been the easiest way to go in the first place.
