We visited Marie earlier today. She was having a good day. Had just finished lunch when we arrived. I worked in the yard for a short while this morning. Our temps have been sporadic as usual. It was 88 yesterday..today, 61. Tonight, 36. We could see a frost soon..it has happened before around Easter. I hope to buy some flowers soon for the flower bed on N side of house. The impatients I placed there this time last year did very well. Enjoy your weekend -:)
Hi Darlene. Well, it’s become hot soup weather here. The past two days have been in the 40’s. I can tell you it’s a shock to my system. I think most of my days sitting outdoors under the Patio/porch have passed for this year and I’ll miss that. Dreading when the frosts set in but that shouldn’t be for a month I hope.
It was my late husband that grew the vegie garden and my domain was the flower section. He grew enough to supply us and more. All the excess I would freeze or make into pickles, Relishes, chutneys and at one stage I was drying them. Had sufficient to last us through the winter months until the next season crops. The one thing he didn’t grow were potatoes. Back in those days most everyone in the country/regional areas grew their own vegies. It’s not worth me growing my own not for one person although I have often thought about putting a tomatoe bush in a container but as I only use about two a week so haven’t bothered. Easier to buy what I need. I planted Tulips in containers last year and they flowered but there was no sign of the bulbs when I went to lift them. Obviously they died completely off. That’s the same containers that I have the Sweet peas in this year. Thankfully my back section is high where I don’t have to bend making it easier with the Spinal Stenosis. The front is low and difficult for me so I’ve planted and easy care garden there. It’s just enough for me to manage. Have a great weekend Darlene. Hugs ~Pat~
I planted my tomato seeds today in seed trays ready for transfering them outside one they grow and the weather gets warmer,
I also found some old cosmos seeds so i put some of those in trays too .just to see if they come up.They are very old though so im not expecting much from them . we shall see .Ihope your keeping yourself fit and well hun and hubby too.
we are not doing much for easter this year apart from the normal egg hunts with the all the family Kiddywinks.
HUBBY AND I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR DINNER A FEW TIMES LAST WEEK
so im missing my own home cooking and so is he.
might cook duck wraps this coming weekend .easy and simple.
I have all the ingredients so thought we could have that .
are you doing anything special for easter hun .
be glad when this new war ends .
so much pressure on every country wether involved or not involved.we all have to suffer .
Hello Melinda. I don't buy special candy for Easter since I don't do the Easter basket scene anymore. It reminds me too much of my mother who died several years ago, and all the special Easter baskets she would make for me, and I don't have that in my life anymore.
Hey there Summer - Did your friends ever make it out of the airport? I'm tired of all this government bullcrap and it's our government who's causing all the problems for people everywhere.. Just checking on you.. Good night dear friend hugs xoxo
Yes My Little Moon Girl .
They did get out on the 17th ,wasnt easy on them either .
he had a pacemaker in his body too and was on special meds .Must have been pretty scarey for him with a heart problem mustnt it .
And yes i agree ,your wonderful country is being spoiled by an idiot that just wants war with everyone ,
we are all paying the price ,but its all the innocents that my heart bleeds for ,those that have lost their lives and the families that are grieving for them .
Lovely to hear from you sweetie .i will write tomorrow if thats ok ,
Hi Darlene. Your Easter page is so pretty. Quite the nicest that I’ve seen. I’m like you I keep my friends list small because I like to answer each one individually. It’s far more personal and enjoyable and I also learn a lot about the area where they live and that interests me. I also check to see approximately where they live then Google it so I can understand the area/region.
It was my (ex) son-in-law’s birthday last week and seven of us went out to a Pub Dinner at a town a few miles south of here Saturday evening. Lovely meal and good company. Always too much served for me as I don’t have a huge appetite. The Pub is not far from the School that I attended through Primary years. The town has grown since those days as have all in the Valley.
The past few days have been extremely humid with temps in the high 80’s. There’s a Cyclone going across the top of the country and the edge gets low enough to affect us in the southern states. This will continue for another month or so. Humidity sure makes the body ache. I’ll be glad when we have a cool change again.
I told my son about that Rat problem in NAPA Valley and he said he hadn’t heard anything about it here but it’s not to say it couldn’t happen. He said that the Winery he works for should be finished Harvesting in another two weeks. He is looking forward to that as he is working 12 hour shifts at present.
Your’e weather sounds unpredictable at the moment but that usually happens both in Spring and autumn. It’s nice to see green grass and trees etc bursting into blossom. Time for me to make supper and feed Muffy too. I also need to download some books again for something to read later. Nothing like a good mystery story at bestime:). Hugs ~Pat~.
this is so me! LOL! I am trying to do better though, not have as many frozen dinners...and I can tell, I feel better. I hope have a wonderful new day and week Darlene!
I always ocdered a 14 inch just perfect.so would my buddy. He would be with me many saturday nights and we would watch Creature Features lol in Black and white television.
And we would have a bottle of pop to wash it down .
You know i didn`t even realize that drones actually deliver pizzas.
For the heck of it i just wanted to see if i was able to find images of any from my search engine and there were lots.. Sometimes when you least expect it thunder can grab anyones attention.
That should melt most of the snow you received
. Its cold again here. Well you can`t blame them they want customers to buy from them.
They must have a good business in the location they are at.
I hope they get those driverless cars soon.
Those cars will drop in price because most will bein flying cars. They will be flying the friendly summer skies beginning this year.
I used to do that so so much back in the day . Prices were so reasonable.
Im just taking a guess and would say a 14 inch pizza might go for $22 .99 today
Things are just not the same anymore. Maybe someday we can own drones and you can send one to my home lol .
Wouldn`t that be something?
Things just went so bad last year Darlene.
We had an exceptional summer where people just had to stay in their homes because it was just way too hot to do anything.
Even the mail was stopped.
If you had to work in the heat it was not fun .
then right after that we caught a small break as Fall was about to come.
But hey by us here we may of got two maybe 3 weeks and then it was just too cold and it stayed that way.
Its just not fun at all.
We had snow on top of it and we were not even in winter.
It was just way too much.
You know if you don`t have a car to get in to go visit different places to get a different change of scenery you`re stuck like i was.
I felt like i was in my 80`s in a freaken nursing home over here lol
No i do not like winter at all .
I like the early spring and i like the early autumn.
Do you plan on going back to work again ?
AI is looking for people to work all types of jobs and they pay you well for it. Imagine that people are working for robots .Its getting close to 650,000 people have already applied.
Somebody is behind all that nonsense.
Who is the one that prints out the checks?
I don`t trust it .We want a union and vacation and hospitalization .lol
We would have to give out personal info you know?
I heard there was a huge meteor blast in your area .
Im sure you must of heard about it.
Out in Ohio and also Pennsylvania.
Its on youtube. Our day was nice today but its getting cold for a few again.
Was nice of you to think of me .
God bless you and have a good night .
By the way i got a Swiss Colony book for Easter ,i bet you did too :)
We worked in the yard today. Suppose to rain this evening, but just a small chance. I sprayed my car off, as the pollen had turned it green. I got some bags of top soil, so have begun placing dirt in the flower beds, as well as some pots. I want to go to Lowe's tomorrow and get a new bird feeder..and of course while there, check out the flowers. Last spring we planted impatients in the North flower bed. They did so good. I planted zinnia seeds this afternoon...now we wait. It's so refreshing seeing spring make its entrance after the drab and grey winter. Enjoy the weekend -:)
I prefer the frozen green beans.lnitmallu Illmadd salt n pepper, and sometimes garlic. I also make stuffed peppers..need to make some very soon. It's hard to find good size peppers, but I'll keep looking. Tonight, we're having pork chops snd cabbage,
