Hello everyone, i have been so busy have not had time to write. I finally finished the second bed,and spent the weekend looking for different types of compost. I only found three,all the rest are basically the same in Florida at least around here. I did find one Blueberry bush ,YEAH ,seems healthy... I changed the soil and transplanted to a bigger pot I have it in the morning sun and afternoon shade we will see. I planted some watermelon in 2 of the block cells as an experiment they are growing quick and seem happy.. I planted some tomatoes in containers and have them next to the blueberries.I also planted an herb garden in 2 containers i had for awhile they contain, Rosemary,basil,parsley,thyme,oregano,also some spearmint and peppermint. Within 2 days the Bugs have located and began thier attack,whiteflies and mites i belive..... i have been holding them off with palmolive and water. A friend told me ivory soap 2 tblespoons mixed in 1 quart warm water or liquid castile soap same mix,works well I'll try it.... I have to get the soil in the beds this weekend and finish mulching around the beds...I kickin around with idea of micro sprinkler sytem on a timer.They are fairly inexpensive and would work well with my goofy schedule. I have not recieved my worms yet but the compost pile seems to be doing well.Guess i'll have to call uncle Jim's and see what the delay is.. Almost forgot i ordered my muscadine grapes they will be here in Oct,along time to wait but i need to prepare the soil anyway so it worrks out well.. Glad i got the time to share and be part of your gardens Good luck to all and Happy Gardening...

My mom used to be able to take a 20 minute nap, wake up refreshed and ready to go. If I happen to take a nap, I sleep for a couple of hours and wake up with no energy. I only nap when I am sick....if I am not feeling ill, a nap is an omen that some sort of infection is coming. Glad you are able to nap and wake up happy.

Morning blond senior moment! Made the pot of coffee no problem. Got out loaf of bread & put slice in toaster, got butter and milk out, got sugar bowl and cereal out, got napkin, butter knife, bread plate, cup, spoon, bowl and little pitcher YEA did all that without thinking. Great start don't you think? I poured milk into little pitcher, poured coffee into cup, managed to get cereal into bowl. So far not bad I spooned a bit of sugar into the coffee added a splash of milk took a sip mmmmmmm okay the day is going good so far and I've been up ten minutes. WOOHOOOOO Turned to get the toast. Opps never pushed the lever down no toast yet. Well no big deal it only takes a minute. A few more sips of coffee, pushed the lever down and sipped a bit more coffee. I put milk away (in the pantry) put bread away (in the fridge) and put away the cereal (in the bread box). I realized what I was doing and fixed it. Milk in fridge, bread in bread box and cereal in pantry okay got it!. Now for the toast. CARP! forgot to plug in toaster, still no toast! Plug in toaster, sip more coffee and get a pat of butter off stick then put the butter dish in fridge. MMMM sip more coffee now I'm ready for another cup. Pour second cup of coffee add bit of sugar and milk just as toaster pops up the toast. Snatch toast out and put it on plate, smear the butter on it and unplug toaster. Put plate on tray with rest of breakfast pick up tray and head for the patio to enjoy breakfast and newspaper alfresco. Sat down and put tray on table, sipped a bit of coffee. Opened paper and set it up to just pick up and read as I eat. Took sip of coffee mmmmm then promptly poured the coffee of my cereal. Looked at the tray with the toast and bowl of cereal and little pitcher of milk and just could not figure out what was wrong with the scene! I reached for my coffee cup found it empty and was surprised I had gone through my allotted 2 cups already. Why did I still have milk left in my pitcher??? I picked up my paper and started reading. Picked up my spoon and dug right into the cereal. Strawberry Special K with coffee. Not the best tasting combo so I tossed it out on the compost pile. I got the last of the coffee ate my toast and drank my little pitcher of milk as I read my paper. Gee I had been up for 1/2 hr and felt like the day should be over already. In the 4 hrs since I've managed to break my last pair of sun glasses, drop my toothbrush in the toilet, lock my keys in the truck and turn all my undies pink in the washer. Where the heck did that red shirt come from? I don't even where red! It's just after noon and I have to go shopping. Okay rude Walmart employees FEAR THIS! LIL

As I'm sitting here this a.m., I'm noticing how poorly my head feels. This is definitely something that I shouldn't be having, esp as it's not improving like the rest of my body is. I'm going to have to keep exploring and experimenting and hopefully find a solution. Esp given how excellent...truly excellent... like better than I had in years and years...I was feeling right up until surgery. I want to go back there and don't want to compromise or be dismissed. It was only last week that I was feeling so super, so it's not an aging thing or an unattainable thing. It was real, and I'm going to do my best to get it back.
