Work and things of one may do to maintain a home is going a lot smoother, then before.

The pillowcases I start are all most done.
Actual I believe they should be done before Mothers day

Heads or Tail (Down On the Farm


I real jumped for joy when I found out this week theme for heads or tail and this week theme is down on the farm and next week theme is “any past theme “




I never consider a berry patch much of a farm. Simple reason or I should say I thought one needed to produce animals and or work at all year.
We had 1 ½ acres of strawberries and 1 ½ acres of raspberries. I have no ideal why my parents decided to go in the berry farming business.
I know I must been quite young
First patch was strawberries and it was behind our home on Cataldo in Spokane Washington.
I know I could hardly get over the plants.
The first roll on the west side of our yard was us kids never. She never had any trouble with people steeling berries.
My mom pretty much ran the patch of berries. My dad had an ideal that he was going to wait until the entire patch was ripen and make a bucketful of money.
But a lot of them got over ripe.
My grandmother Olive had a veggie cart and sold things off it. So my mom recalls her doing this.
That’s the way my grandma bought school clothes for her kids in Nebraska.
My dad served on a customer and not knowing that the gentlemen who serve was my moms’ husband. She told my mom that she sure hope that ole grump wouldn’t be serving her
So she took over running the business of the berries.
I real don’t know even when the first raspberries patch went in. I know it was down the road a little on Cataldo.
I know they lost that patch from a disease called mosic.
Then later on the move the berry patches up on Pierce but one would enter the patch though Maxwell.
One thing I recall out in the berry patch.
My parents had this green 57 GMC pick up that was used for the berry business.
I have no ideal how this was every plan but I was going to learn to drive. First of all I was about 12 years old and rest pickers was the same age as me.
My mom left the keys in the truck.
I don’t recall who was in the rig but I know I was driving. I did find going forward and this pick up was a stick shift.
I did great going forward and I was doing ok going backwards until I hit the gas instead of the brake.
I ran into a stack of flats of berries and my mom came across that berry patch and I thought she was going to kill me.
She looked complete like she was insane.
Well from then on she took the keys and I had to pick the berries I destroyed.
There a lot of memories form the berry patch and even a few good berry fights.


I don’t recall every little thing in the berry patch but I must been quite young. I must not of been very old a we one.
A later date I bump into someone who worked in my parents berry patch and they told me they feed me earthworms.
I don’t recall eating earthworm.
Knowing me I was pretty aggressive kid and I would guess I was being a pest

Three Seems To Be Something

Around the new moon I like to take a look at my self in deep sense or more harder look at one self.
This time I decided to draw a tarot card and it came up with the prince of swords.



I have to say I’m somewhat slipping to confusion in my life. I feel like I just step on merry go around and it going not real fast.
I real don’t know when I should get off of it.
I can’t come up with real stable or solid plan for me to take the direction I need to go.
I want to blame the economy. How true it does play a super part of our life in what we can and can’t do.
I thought I did three simple chores before I went to work. It help me a lot of ways. Mainly I feel like I’m contributing.
All of last week I really don’t recall doing any type of crafts. prince of sword



LeWalla and I went to Sandpoint to listen to a Buddhist priest. Confession time…I was some what confuse on some of what he was teaching it was lack of basic knowledge.
But I did get some out of it a positive way.
I like the part we are all students and need not to blame others for our own faults. We are or should be accountable for our self

Photo Hunt (Protect(ion))


I did remember photo hunt and today theme is Protect(ion) and next week theme will be “walking”



Living in North Idaho one has to protect there garden from all types of critters. My friend Qunelle protects her flowers in her rockery beds from the deer. By covering them with wire fence lying down.
Murphy and I just got a fence put up around our garden to keep the deer out.



I took Quenella in town so she could do her errands, She had to stop in and pick up her glasses and actual these glasses she got is quite becoming.
But at the end of us running errands
We stop and look at our three-thrift store and we got a new one here in town. It funds the spade and neutering of animals.

I got this carpet shampoo it’s an Oreck and at this time I couldn’t afford one of them retail. I paid $25.00 for it.
This came from our new thrift store in town



One thing I do when I go to a thrift store I look at the shoes. I have a wide foot and my ache set back a ways.
If I found a pair of shoes that fits I pick them up. If I like them.
I found these sandals over at community thrift store and paid $3.00 for them.
Before that we went to the other thrift store and got this blouse for $2.00.
I spent what I could afford at the thrift store.
Bart got the prom this weekend. So we are short on cash



Quenelle gave me some golden oregano. I haven’t yet started an herb bed yet. So there is bare spot down in the gull so it went in there.
I took small piece and put it in a box planter. Plan to give my sister in law Faith a chunk of it.
I told her that I had some extra tomato’s plants that I’ll just give her.
We started a mixture of lettuce seeds in some little pots a heirloom mixture type. Which I got for free.



Our drip coffee maker bit the dust. So I have a percolator coffee maker. Actual I like prek coffee.
I have to say I find the sound of percolator coffee pot has a soothing sound.

No Real Big Waves For Me, This Week





I have to say I didn’t do much on craft. But I have to say work and my home chores went fairly smoothly
Which doesn’t give me anxiety.
As long as I can accept the fact I’m not super woman.

Brown and Green Equel Sod

For Earth day I enjoyed my walk with Rex as I do most of the time. We went out back behind the forest service.
I was kind wanting to know how the grain crops were doing.
Well some of them are up although not knowing what is planted.
I real don’t think these farmers are friendly to the environment. The reason I say this I seen them spray with crop duster airplanes.
As I walked down the road I took two pictures. One there something coming up and the other side there nothing.
Edit note I’m having trouble with fox fire crashing and will later share the picture I took for Earth day




Some of you I might of e-mail you a survey on how Obama is doing. Please Click here and feel out the survey.

Going On In My Stage

One thing and many other thing scares me not knowing what happen if my child becomes missing Mary of one my coffee pals posted this Missing Child I know the internet is a good way of passing news, quickly.
Please post on your blog or any social net working page you have



I went to my T.O.P.S meeting yesterday and I lost a pound and fourth for the week.
So far I lost a hair over 12 pounds.
But I have to say I fell off the wagon until dinner.
On Tuesday I take Faith shopping and one of the place we went was quality farm and garden
They have a freezer thing in there. I just had to take a peak in there. They had Eskimo ice cream sandwiches.
Which is fairly close to one of my favorite items, which are those ice cream sandwiches, made with chocolate chip cookies.
Well I did ok and even went shopping at the other place and came home and had a cup of ice cream a mug of it (8oz) I guess it could be a lot worst.



I notice we’re gaining color in flowerbeds now just slowly my grape hysthenin is starting to show it’s color.



I been thinking of doing some intervention on behalf of my step mother in law. Her daughter moved and is causing grief and far as I know emotional and verbal abuse toward her mom. No physical abuse to the best of my knowledge.
Her daughter and her partner move up here from Oregon and was going to live with her mom for a short time period.
Well that short time period is well over due.
I’ve known them to be rude to her guest and chase off her guess. Cussed her upside and down anther.
I know she wants her daughter out by end of July. One of my ex cousin in law married he her nephew has been helping with the situation.
I’m thinking of give my one cousin a call and telling her about an agency here that one can report elderly or people who disable and being abused.
I once thought of calling it for an ex client of mind. Her sister was steeling her medication.
So I figure it would be best to get hold of my cousin she knows more and been involved with it and knows more then anyone else.
What truly going on.

Heads or Tails (Once upon a time)

Hope you all have a few moments to check out a few of the heads or tails and this week theme is Once upon a time… and following Tuesday is “Down on the farm”


Once upon a time…there was this girl mentioning no names. Who was going to be a true feminist according to a radical one?
She was going to live in this big mansion with beautiful grounds and lot of beautiful Quarter horses.
Then of course this girl was going to have plenty of money.
Now this girl figure she didn’t needed to put up with a man crap. But want to have children and sense she was wealthy.
She could hire them for breeding purpose and kick them to the curb. Because I figure I didn’t need them in my life.
Well this girl has been with the same man for 25 years now. Lives in no mansion and surely isn’t rich by money standards.
But truly happy 98% of the time



This Saturday I will be doing in the know and would like others to be part of this. The question is “What do you see out your front window”?

The Dirt Been Flipped Around

Yesterday was a struggle for me. I had to just force my self to do dishes. I was so burned out from my job.
I saw the dishes sitting there on the counter and more I seen them the more I just want to punch someone or something.
I real can’t blame anyone or even my self for feeling this awful angry.
It’s how I felt.




One thing was my saving grace was that Murphy and I did some transplanting of tomatoes into larger containers.
Had a chance to start some more celery seeds. Then we started a new batch of broccoli and cauliflower seeds.
Confession time…I was about ready to give up on my onion seeds But it looks like they’re coming right along now



One of my job and it helps that I take Donna dog Rex for a walk and we parked at the turn off to Reservation. And walk North out on county road.
One thing I notice is some plants coming up and if I was going to guess they where either trilliums or seagull lily (Morman potatoes)
I haven’t yet notice any trees in full of leaves or even a few full ones on them. I have to say some are close


alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326968095497572546" />


We finely got a rottiller out here to do our veggie garden spot. I want to buy some pressure treated lumber to built boxes.
I’m thinking of getting 8 or 12 foot in length depending on price. So we can build some boxes.
I figure we will be doing 3 or 4 boxes. We can only afford right around $100 for lumber. It’s better then a sharp poke in the eye with stick.


This evening I started some red winter wheat in 4 inch round planters.
So I can make some wheat grass juice

They Put Their Pants On One Leg At A Time

I swore up and down that I wouldn’t get involve with Facebook or twitter
Then I swore once again I would just look at common human social net working or blogs.
Confession time…I’m looking at Oprah on twitter, her friend Gayle King, and Martha blog and on twitter
Knowing that the odds are against us for visiting one of us 6 packers as in beer or pop drinker.
Not saying they might enjoy a nip here and there in life.
It would be so strange if a famous/well known person left a comment on our blogs. I wonder if they even read a few blogs from us 6 packers every once in a great moon.
And have the same thought about life as we do.


I got one local tv anchor person form khg on twitter. I went looking for few more I got two one from N.P.R and the other one form slate.
Plus I only got one of my elected officials found at facebook, Walt Minnick. But I haven’t had much luck finding them.
In general I don’t agree with the main thinking of my elected officals here in Idaho. But they are my elected people who work for us in Idaho. I don’t agree with lot they do


Maybe one of them would ask me how to solve a problem. I guess we all can have our dreams in life


Editor note...I know some else properly do there social net working and there blog. But we still have an interest those people who is in media

Photo Hunt (Purple)


I don’t know why I don’t do Photo Hunt on a regular bases.
This week theme is Purple and next week theme is “Protect(ion)”




Purple is a color I real find enjoyable. I have one of my flowerbed known as the “Royal Sunshine flowerbed” which has purple and yellow flowers in it.
At this time there only one flower blooming a purple something. The lady Faith who I drive around gave me this plant.
The few crocus I have are all done now



Our Television thing that one changes the channel broke and fell though. So now we have to reach in an change it with this tool.
I recall using pliers hooking them on the dial thing I turning channels a few times.




One day out Blue I got a notice for me to go down to the post office and there was something register at local post office in Naples for me. So being beat from work I sent my son Bart to sign and pick it up.
Then he brought this small package home from the Philippines. So I open and it is Fresh Water Pearls bracelet which Pia sent me. “Thank you for the lovely gift and it will use with love”

It Real Change Once in the Guest Room

I found my wallet and I haven’t seen it for a week. Announcement time…I found it
Last Friday after I came home I don’t believe I worked last Friday. I put my wallet on the dinning room table and then with out my brain in gear I moved my wallet.
Not knowing where I put it.
I looked in usual place that I might of stuck it.
I decided to clean and organize the house so I possible could fine my wallet.
Behold I went into the guess room to put together Sawyer and Bart Easter stuff and I looked up over on by book shelf and there was my wallet.

You know when you know better but you still let your self do it. I have had trouble with anxiety. Well their time I will stress out my self and one the main problems I start to have in anxiety.
I will start to do things like walk around like in a dream state not total a ware. Like I’ll go down stair to get something and when I get down stair wonder why I’m down there.
Recently there been a chance with my client/friend Donna in a good way. She trying to change her life style which I know it is hard to do.
Each person who has home care the Medicaid assign each client so many hours by some point systems.
The best way to explain this system…”Not one size fits all”
Sure I’m not counselor but I thin it important to be part of listening and conversing with the client.
The state real doesn’t feel this is real important. I guess they want us to have a cold relationship with our client.
I understand that I’m being paid by tax dollars and I complete understand the reason for limited hours.
But I feel she could use 2 to 4 hours a week.
With the budget cuts I’m hoping it will stay the same






Once in blue moon I get chance to work on my craft project this week.
I can see a finishing point to my pillowcases. I been doing lazy daisy stitches, which I had to get a needlepoint book and look how to do them.
All though it going, on the slow side.



The hen is coming and at this point I’m not sure if I’m going to like it or not. Maybe once it finished I’ll have a clear picture of it.
Or a least I can have an honest look at it.
The train is coming a long. I want to put some green in it. First I tried a cactus green that to me was to blue.
If you look around the headlight there some cactus green around the head light.
Around the chimney is leaf green. I think the leaf green with work in much better



Nothing in bloom at this time but more and more are budding out. More new stuff is coming up.
We got a garden plot dug up. We are looking for a tractor with rot tiller to hire.

More To Life...I Just Know It

Oh it been a beautiful day out. And I work and my week is done. I feel my client needs more time for her to get well.
But with these cut back in everything I believe one is wishing though a loophole.
Home care is basically penny wise and pound-foolish.

I stop at Subway to grab some foot long sandwiches. My house is a mess and I’m beat now.
What I hear on the news I guess we are both lucky to have a job. But recently I’m getting burn out.



Not much more to say. My brain is full of gas (farts) it not going well.

The River of Life Isn't As Ruff.

Well Donna and I figure out what we can do on trampoline.
With advice from a physical therapist.
But we won’t start to Monday and for the diet part of her food. I’m going to cut veggies for her and prep them she can put the stuff together.
Then for cleaning what she can do sitting down she will do.
So this will help both of us and give her more independent.



Well I sent the IRS a cashier check for all most $400 in taxes and my son Bart had to pay in also but a lot less then our his was around $125.
Murphy and I took in about $27,000 and if memory services me right Bart made about $5,500.
Idaho has a state income tax which we paid $28 and Bart $26.
I don’t mind paying my taxes but I wish there was a fair and simple way of doing it.
Plus I could mange the money better then the government. I could get more bang for your tax dollar.
I’m not trying to be prideful



Today as everyday I take Donna dog Rex for a walk and we went down to ballpark and he ran into some doggie friends.
They romped and play for a while.
Well I notice 3 dandelions bloom, around here that means morel mushroom season soon.



Terrible happen yesterday. I flushed the main toilet in our home. Thinking everything was fine.
I step out side and came back in and as I enter our side door and straight off of that is our basement and I saw water just pouring down.
I thought Murphy was in the shower and pipe broke.
As I ran to tell Murphy to turn off the water we got a leak.
But Murphy was on the love seat watching TV. The bathroom floor was flooded bad enough for Noah Ark.
I got out the plunger and got it to go down.
Then I started to soak up the water from the flood.
I wonder if they called F.E.M.A to help after Noah’s flood

Heads or Tail (reason)

Today topic for Heads or Tails is Reason and next week topic is “once upon time”



When I hear the word “reason” one song come to mind is a Pete Seeger song called Turn Turn Turn
I been told there a reason why things happen in our life I can except this but I always don’t have to like it.
Plus there certain time period in our life we need to take care of life events.


Last few weeks I been feeling overwhelm with work and life in general which I seem to real play havoc with my moods.
She ask me to figure out some type of schedules for her new diet. I know she isn’t trying to overwhelm me.
I think might of came up with something


I know we shouldn’t question life. But I have recently. I want to know the reason for lot of things.
Which I know can’t be answered.
When I feel over whelm I’m a basket case. I have major anxiety attacks
I do not function well at all.
I know I put my wallet on the table and absently move it and I haven’t the foggiest ideal where I put it.
It like my mind total shut down.



Went to my tops meeting today and there was only two of us who lost weight. I lost a quarter pound of something.
They want me to do a class. I have a few ideals but my mind isn’t capable of doing much of anything.
But it doesn’t have to happen any time this month.
Maybe by then I will be on level ground physical, emotional, and spiritual



Before I forget on the 25th of April I will be doing “In the know” and anyone invited to play and this month what I want to know is “What do you see out of your front window”?

Raw Diet Thats Not Bad But What's Down the Road


I don’t know why my client thinks I’m some type of superwomen she went on a Raw food diet which is better diet that she recently been on.
But she is person who has trouble finding balance in her life. It seems she to one extreme to anther extreme in her life style with no middle ground.
I know this raw food thing shouldn’t be all that hard but it change in her life style. There quite a bit of prep work for doing salads.
There a little less I believe in smoothies.
Juicing isn’t all that hard.
Plus I do her cleaning, shopping, and walking her dog Rex.



This isn’t bad once I get a routine done but she wants to add more like sprouting, dehydration, and Reflexology which I done before with Doc who was a very wise an knowledgeable man who lived into his 100 but some what a royal pain in ass.



But one of her ideal scares the hell out of me. She has this min trampoline and she wants me to help her jump on.
Her the kicker.
She extremely over weight more then 100 pounds.
Her knees are bad do to injury and the extra weight doesn’t help.
Her ideal is to sit on the trampoline and she sits on the trampoline and I get on it and I gentle balance her up and down.
After I balance her on a trampoline I’ll have to help her up off of it and I would guess it stands about a foot to a foot and half off the ground.
Honest time…I’m so afraid that I might be come injured my self I can see and understand for her to loose weight she needs some type of exercise program.
But in her state I’m not sure what.
Confession time…As I was driving home I wish I was disable to point I would get check and still take care of my self.
She keep telling me what she wants to do and I keep thing I’m going to go crazy and my heart racing and I feel like I’m having anxiety attack from being overwhelm

Hoppy Easter To All.


Easter is really around here for the kids. Both my boys are safely arrived at their Uncle and Aunt in Illinois.
But still I bought them goodies for Easter.
They will get it when they return.



Later on in the day Murphy and I will be going to his Sister Faith place. Faith is a good cook.
I’m bringing a leg of lamb and not sure what anyone else is bringing.
But the food is always good and so is the company.



We are planning to eat around 2 this afternoon but before that they will be having an Easter Egg hunt for the younger kids.



We both have been doing some things in yard. Racking up some leaves that we didn’t get up last fall.
I have dug up in front of Bart window were I plant my sunflower. I won’t be putting any sunflower out until after mid May.
Murphy moved the driftwood into a pile from the hodgepodge flowerbed to do some work around the area and we both like the driftwood in pile better.
This gives a wonderful chance to increase the size of the hodgepodge flowerbed.

I like to wish every one a Hoppy Easter and many blessing for the new spring

Popping Right a Long

Well yesterday my boys and Sam their cousin decided to go on a road trip back to see Sam mom Susan that is Murphy sister.
She and her husband live in Hettick Illinois, which is between Springfield and St Louis.
Now here the kicker.
Bart wonder if I had any trouble with him going back to see his Aunt and I asked him how many days he could miss of school.
He said he needed to be back in School next Thursday.
Then I said ok but be careful and he is still minor until the 25th of April.
He want to drive my car down to Postfall were Sam and Sawyer is at. I told him my car wasn’t going to Illinois.
He assures me that my car was staying there.
Well this conversation happen in B.T.C
Mean time as I was getting a leg of Lamb for Easter and few other provisions. I ran into my sister in law Faith and one of her grand daughter.
I told her that Sam, Sawyer and Bart was going back to see Susan. I was wondering if Amy has coming up for Easter.
She didn’t know anything about the trip back East.
I guess she called up Amy and she never knew they took off and she called up Sam and wondered what was going on.
I guess Sam started his childish behavior and start to yell “your not my mommy”
I talk to both boys today once this morning and they were by Mitchell South Dakota and once again this afternoon and they were a little over a 100 miles from Des Moines Iowa.
I told Sawyer to give me a call once they got to there Aunt place



The seedlings are coming along nicely. A few things I was starting to give up on. I only had a few Spanish Sweet onions come up but now I notice more.
Walla Walla sweet onions I never seen anything until today.
I was about to call the seed company were I ordered my seeds and tell them nothing going on with the peppers and celery.
Finely something is happening it sure took it sweet old time.
Murphy out racking the yard and I washed the outside wall the North side.
I notice that my Easter Hyacinth is showing some buds on them out by the barn.



My Uncle Henry is in the hospital in Spokane although not sure why but he is 80 years old

All Work and No Play Makes Me Dull

Let me tell you work is getting to me. I was terrible beat from work. I went to work almost noon and I’m a morning person.
I was going to sleep in and that surely didn’t work out. Woke up around 4 in the morning and I was ready to go.
Well I did mange to get back to sleep until little after six but I couldn’t get back to sleep.

So once I got home from work Murphy had hotdogs and mac n cheese for me. Watch little bit of news.
Add a comment to twitter and face book.
Glanced at my blog.
I decided to waste time my brain surely isn’t in gear so I thought I would play sweet tooth over at pogo.
All I though I was downing some beers. Her fridge is full of stuff and for some reason she thought I was a miracle worker and I could fit more and more stuff in there.
Some how I did but it was giving me great desire to pull out my hair anther words I was having major anxiety attacks.
Well I did it but don’t ask me how I did it

Now it is Friday and most people would say “Thanks God it Friday” I don’ think I would go that far.
There were a whole lot of dishes for me to do. I just looked at them with great dislike toward that dishes but I know some time in life you need to do what is necessary to accomplish a task.
Honest time…If it wasn’t for health reason I believe it would bother me eat off dirty dishes.
If money real wasn’t a factor I would eat and toss the dishes away

There done and I’ve done more then those nasty dishes



My craft project been on much slower note since Murphy went back to work all though I have had a few moment here and there.

As many of you know I was part of book group. Well we will be reading a new book called Wreak This Journal
For more info on this up coming book click here

Now for a little beauty Rex and I was walking West of the three mile and there was Burton Peak.

It Good But I Don't Need To Rock the Boat

Tuesday I had my weighing in at T.O.P.S meeting and I lost a pound and three-fourth. Plus I lost the most in month of March so every one bring in a fruit or veggie so the person who loose the most weight in a month gets the basket.


I been outside all of what I can.

Now my crocuses are beginning to bloom. I don’t have many.



Faith gave me this plant she told me what it was but I don’t recall. It went in my royal sunshine flowerbed.
Then I put part of it in my hodgepodge flowerbed.
Plus she gave me some leek plants.



Started the barbeque up and had ribs. I made a potato salad earlier in the day.
Oh dinner was fantastic.



Bart took a picture top of black Mountain East of our place.
This mountain is out of my back yard. If you click on picture it can be enlarge and one can see the towers.
Which is our Television translator.
We have gotten our wood off of their and our Christmas tree

Heads or Tail (3 things)

Heads and Tails going to be quite simple list 3 things. OK I’ll list 3 things I don’t like.
I could add a few more if I real thought about it. Honest time…I like more then I dislike
1. I don’t like doing dishes
2. I don’t like balancing the check book
3. I don’t like any thing to do with the medical field
Next time around the theme will be “Reason”
Remember on the 25th of each month I do in the know “what do you see out of your front window”

There More To the Economy

Not very many chance I get to be domestic engineers. With a job I feel lot of time I short or never get time to do the special touches I would like to do to our home.
Like hang picture Honest time…I rather be outside


Murphy headed back to work it sure doesn’t look good for the tree nursery. He will be only working one week on and one week off.
So every other week he will draw unemployment.
Some how we always mange
I would say my job is a little stable then Murphy but I can see cuts coming up but the budget don’t start until July 09
Opinion time…I really think Medicaid, Homecare Care Agency, and Medicare don’t want these people to get better.


So this morning I did load of mainly t-shirts but there was a few other shirts in the laundry.
Last night I did more jeans.
Hung the clothes out to dry on the clothesline.
Picked up the branches around the veggie garden spot. Murphy sure did a lot of work on the garden.
Dug it all by hand.


It seem Murphy needs to have back ground noise going. I’m enjoying the stillness of the day excepted for birds singing and the sound of the leaves moving.
I sat on our side steps and had a cup of coffee enjoying the beautiful morning.


add a different rain gauge out in my royal sunshine flowerbed. The one I had before got a major crack not sure if it all the way though or not.
Quite a bit is showing in flowerbeds. Nothing real changes in the seeds I started. No peppers yet or celery.


Did a few thing like balance out the check book which I real don’t like. Plus I’m not a big fan of doing dishes but there done


Our account called and our taxes our ready. It cost us $210 to have them done which $55 is Bart
He files no exemption so we can use him as a deduction.
Plus it looks like we will be owing Uncle Sam and the state of Idaho about $400 not sure how it broken down.
I want to barbeque but I wasn’t sure when Murphy was getting home from work so I fired up a couple of hamburger.
The only way I prefer my hamburger is a lot of stuff on it more the better.
So hopeful tomorrow we can have barbeque ribs

Yes I Can Or We Did


Sun is shinning and it feels like spring. Majority of snow is off all the beds. I have been outside doing things.
Like trying to pick up chips of paint around the shed/garage.
When Murphy pressure wash it the old paint just flew and now it on the ground.


As I was on the North side of the building I was trying to figure out were I could put a rhubarb plant.
I’m thinking of the Northeast corner of the strawberry bed.


This morning I started some red poppies. The guy who works with Murphy gave me the seeds.
I notice that some of the tomatoes and onions are up now.
I did load of laundry and hung them on the clothesline to dry.
I know the saying is true “men can’t walk and chew bubble gum at the same time” I did load of clothes Thursday or Friday and Murphy ask me what was going on with the laundry and I said there a load in the washer and it needs to be dried the next day and guess what.
I open the washer on Sunday and there the clothes were.
Nothing smelled musky so I took them out to the clothesline


I made some miso soup for lunch I had quite a few veggies around the place. I real like miso soup. I don’t know if it real aloud to add beans to your miso or not. I got some garbanzo beans and put them in.
I got pork lion roast for dinner. I thought of mash potatoes, and waldroff salad for dinner tonight.


As I was at the store I got 10 glad bulb a light purple to add to my royal sunshine flower bed. It cost me $2.50



I thought Bart was getting home Sunday night or early Monday morning from his trip from New Orleans.
So I put in a long day Saturday so I could go pick him up and found out he was coming home.
Saturday morning Donna and I hit the yard sales in the area 3 of them. I better mention that Rex came along.
Well I got a few things not many. I got onion holder from Tupperware for dollar and Murphy a shirt.


Sawyer is up and hopeful I can have some picture to share with all about Bart trip, he came home in shorts

Oh So Slow

Sense I have just dial up for our computer we live to far out. I been part of 12 secrets this time I’m not going to be part of the last section but I total enjoyed, learned, and had blast being part of this group.
Looking forward for more like this.
Thank you, Jamie for your time and kindness for putting this together




As you can see I been still working on some ceramic pieces and also stitching away on the pillow cases.
I start two small ceramic pieces a train. I can’t decide what color I want to go with the blue.
I don’t know why I been attracted to this piece. One could use it as Christmas Ornament.
The pillowcases I’m please with at the rate the area going at.
The leaves are coming along and I got a different color of green floss for the other leaves.
I try to post a little bit on twitter and facebook if I do anything on my creative project. That helps me also to measure my progress. Even how small it may be
