Just some random
stuff today!
Hubby and I are
being sort of the ultimate couple and sharing a cold (by the way,
sharing the cold in no way diminishes it, you each get a whole one)!
There is much sneezing and coughing and nose blowing going on here
this last week. I must say I think Hubby is complaining more than me
but that may just be my cranky sick persona speaking! ….smile
The garden is
coming along, our days of abnormal heat (in the 90's) last week
really kick-started everything, the corn and bean seeds are sprouting
and the plants we put in are very happy (I think). My Columbines are just beautiful and the tree out front is kind of amazing! The
weeds are growing best as is usual in my world. I always remember my
grandmas answer to the question “how do you know if it's a weed?”
She said “pull on it, if it comes out easy it was something you
wanted, if it comes out hard it's a weed!” Still holds true!
Every day is a little weeding and watering and I am enjoying myself
immensely! Hubby is very pleased with his 'salsa' garden, the
tomatoes and peppers enjoyed the early heat and are doing very well,
he is experimenting with different varieties of both this year and
doing lettuce as well.

The 'studio' was
needing a little organizing this week so I've been going through the
piles and sorting while I have no energy and small ability to
breathe. I keep the box of tissues nearby! I did get started on the
T-shirt quilt, but need some new needles for the machine, working on
the fix of daughter in laws old quilt from Grandma, got some mending
to get to, went through the vintage beads and findings and organized
them all in little drawers in cool plastic cases (don't you just love
harbor freight?), and got done with the family group sheets for one
side of the family to send to Mom and Auntie for them to have fun
with. I am feeling pretty good about the space and think sometimes
God just needs to slow me down and have me clean up around myself a
little before he let's me go haring off again!
Got to talk to the
3 sons and 2 daughters in law for Mothers day, which was very fun!
Spoke to my Mommy who spent the day with her mother!
We are coming up on our one year anniversary in this house and I am trying to put together a sort of before and after post with a few pictures. Soon...
So now I'm ready
for the cold to be over, seriously …. anytime now!
