Uh oh - 34 tonight - anyone else worried?
Comments (9)Every year I warn my friends and neighbors not to plant until after tax day. I wait til the 15th, and then look at the 10 day forecast before I plant�..usually. Doh! This year I planted bean seeds last weekend, and they have sprouted. No problem, I can either cover them or just plant more. I planted my cucs, melons and squash early this week when the low was only supposed to get to 38. No problem, I covered them with row covers to exclude squash vine borers anyway. My big problem is all my hydrangeas, blueberries and strawberries are endangered. I'll be busy this evening putting the sheets on them all. http://agrowingcuriousity.blogspot.com/...See MoreDoes anyone else feel like this???
Comments (18)I like company, but because of my work schedule I rarely had any the past few years except the weekend before Christmas. Most of my friends work the same schedule I did so they don't have time either. My dd and grands live too far away to visit often. I do enjoy visiting with Bob's family when they stop by because they don't stay too long. Now that I've retired I want to meet my retired friends at restaurants or go for a day of shopping or just looking at scenery and such. Bob doesn't feel well most of the time and has become a pretty cranky PITA. I don't mind it because I can ignore it, but I don't want my friends to be subjected to it. Besides, I like to get together and have some " girl " time without a man around. Linda...See MoreAnyone Else Feel this Way??? (A little rant!)
Comments (26)Thank you, ladies. We all have different roads to travel. Until I was 17 I'd never travelled over 30 miles from home ... then my Dad, who had bronchitis and incipient asthma and felt that his farming days were numbered in our location ... ... moved 1,600 miles to the Prairies in Saskatchewan, where he share-cropped for a while, then bought his own farm - and had 40 years of good health. And we react to the experiences of our lives in different ways. I was away to Univ. when Dad remarried, and we got a ready-made (pretty, vivacious) sister in that deal, a bit younger than we three boys. We didn't get along too well with stepmother (but sister, who became a school-teacher, didn't like her very well, either). She loved Dad - said that he never treated her any differently than the boys. Spent several years helping some refugees with nothing get their lives operational again, just after the Korean War. Met a somewhat younger woman from Iowa at Cornell Univ., married in Korea, and son, who was born there, later needed eye care, so we settled in Canada and I became a clergyperson. Later Sue, who became head of food service in the Psych. Hosp. where my Mom had been incarcerated 30 years earlier, felt that she needed to live on her own and we scarcely spoke for 35 years - something of a shame: life's too short for that. That caused disruption of my career - clergy didn't do that, almost 40 years ago! When, over 20 years later, they talked of closing her establishment or another a few miles away, she took early retirement, had a happy 10 years of life doing various things, including spending winters between FL and TX (later also AZ when our daughter lived there for a time) in her RV. Contracted colon cancer, died at 66, just under 3 years ago ... kids said that in the ordinary course, Mom would have retired "last year" ... and I added that she'd have been sick for most of that year. I'm very thankful, as I approach 80, to be enjoying good health. Dad said that he wanted to leave his farm better than he found it - he felt that way about his community, also, though I never heard him say so. Though I am thankful, proud and happy to be Canadian, I also consider myself something of a citizen of the world, as well ... and I hope that I can leave it better than I found it. And here I am ... hijacking a "Mother's Day discussion" thread! Sorry, folks. ole joyful...See MoreAnyone else feeling a bit teary eyed?
Comments (27)Oh goodness. I wish that I could muster up some sort of tears to see this kitchen go. But, there's nothing in it that is sentimental to me at all.We moved into this house about 2 1/2 years ago, knowing then that the kitchen reno was happening because I hated the kitchen. Hated. Really. Okay, so it might have been considered "grandma's charm" if it had been my grandma's house. I know the older, previous owners (deceased, rest their souls) must have loved their little kitchen...and so for that reason, I feel a little bit bad, particularly since the hideous cabinets are actually in good shape. But, it's Bad, with a capital B. I feel a little bad that we are taking out cabinets that are still quite functional (no doors falling off, etc.) and that there's almost no chance that anyone in their right mind would want them...not not even really for a garage...although we *may* use an upper for out in our one shed. But, I hate that they aren't in worse shape because other than being ugly, they are in good shape. We've had no Great Family Gatherings here. We've had meals that I've served...but I've disliked cooking in the kitchen from the start. The only thing that has made it remotely palatable was that we sawed out a cabinet when we moved in to put in a DW. Without that DW, I would have surely lost my mind. And I have a RTA rolling cart that will be retired with the new kitchen...it's likely to be craigslisted. Bring on the new kitchen...I've been ready for it for a long time!...See More- 10 years ago
