Today'Last day of summer,what do you have left to do?
Comments (14)Plant hosta in pots that may live despite the generous dousing with 'Deep Woods Off', by 5-yr. old! I don't have much expectations of their sizes, for next year, though, as a result of their 'baptisms'! Water, water, water!!! Everything is very dehydrated, due to the 78 mph 'dry hurricane' we experienced last Sunday! Thankfully we were some of the more fortunate, with no extensive damage to our trees or property and we maintained water during the HUGE areas that were w/o power and many still are, including our younger married daughter! There was a lot of debris, a trailer load with more still around to be dealt with today, hopefully! Spread more of the wonderful horse manure and straw and leaves and tree trimming compost we obtained an abundance of this year. I still have about 1/2 a trailer load, that we finally unloaded into a potential bed for next year and I'm snitching buckets full to spread around the garden today! Other than that--not much!!!...See MoreDo you have a home decor (or home-related) blog?
Comments (44)Here's a link to my blog. I use blogger. There are plenty of options on page layouts and color choices to select from and you can change your format anytime. My blog is geared toward the general stuff in life. My kid, my house, general nothing-ness. Mostly for sharing stories and photos for my family & friends since I live 2 and 3 hours away from them and don't get to have weekly visits to grandma & grandpa's house like I did when I grew up. As for how often do I post & what topics come best? I average about 1-2 posts a week. Sometimes a couple more, sometimes less...just depends on what happens around here. Just look at my tags on the blog and you can see the things I post about most...my daughter and my house. I just keep things simple and don't over-think any post. The best part for me is to share the cute things my daughter comes up with. Gayle Here is a link that might be useful: Gayle's Ramblings...See MoreDo you have a best part of summer
Comments (74)I only tolerate, Fall, Winter and Spring so I can get to Summer! I feel better during that time, even with the Texas heat and humidity. Love that my kids and grands visit more often since school is out. Love also the great fruit and veggies that grow then....See MoreDo You Have Meals Planned if You Are Staying Your Home?
Comments (51)Family, friends and neighbors teased me about being a "prepper" because I raise our own beef and chicken, have a big garden and like to can. They are now oddly quiet about it, LOL. They've also become strangely silent about my "labor intensive" home grown shelled and dried beans. Yeah.... I plan meals around what produce is in the refrigerator that needs to be used, how many eggs the chickens laid today, whether I've unearthed a couple of packages of venison from last year, what I need to cook for my 84 year old Mother, I cook meals and "deliver" them weekly. Tonight I made chicken and noodles for Mother, a batch of cabbage rolls, some deviled eggs, broccoli cheese soup and dark chocolate raspberry muffins. Elery and I had chili and I put every vegetable in the refrigerator that needed to be used in it, as I always do with chili. Tonight it was carrots, celery, onion, butternut squash, corn, two kinds of beans, a couple of quarts of home canned tomatoes and half a jar of salsa from the fridge. I should have made homemade tortillas, but instead I canned chicken stock because I "found" a couple of chicken carcasses from past roast chicken meals. Naturegirl, I have already started the hot peppers and I have my lights set up and seeds and soil ready to go, I'm going to start tomatoes, eggplant, sweet peppers, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli next week sometime. Elery and I are building removable "hoop houses" for the tops of two raised beds that just don't get enough sun for strawberries and I'm going to plant some spinach, lettuces and mizuna, maybe some bok choi, gotta get my head start on gardening before my 100 strawberry plants and 3 sweet cherry trees arrive! I'm sorry your trip was cancelled, though. Annie...See Morejb1586
