Thank you so much for the awesome comments. I appreciate them all. It has been since Thanksgiving that I have been able to get here to send any back to you all. I am going through them all & reading them all. (still working on it) It was a quiet weather Winter. I did not start up the snow-blower once... not a single time. And, here in mid NH we had only 1 night below 0*, just 10* below for a couple hours. That is freaky warm & freaky snowless. But, of coarse we had a huge El Nino in the Pacific Ocean all winter, so, it was what I was expecting. I have been cranking, repairing & painting, for my business. I am finally in a quiet time... little work & great weather. Sooooo, I had a right eye cataract replaced. I was seeing nothing out of that eye. People kept saying, “Man, your left eye must be really tired.” Hahahahah, Actually the right eye was the one tired, from working so hard to TRY to see. So, I was done my 4 week daily regimen of eye drops yesterday. Dr., happy I am healing faster than expected, & last Dr. visit is Tuesday, 23rd.
I am working hard to get my veggie garden completely in. I have been experimenting with containers the past couple years. This year I am totally container: carrots, beets, parsnips, onions, leeks, red cabbage, eggplant, summer yellow squash (don't like zucchini, no zucchini) butternut squash, pumpkin (to eat), lots of red potato, and two variety of rare heirloom tomato, several herbs. I grow some herbs year round in the kitchen window. I have all of the “from-seed” crops in, I just need to get the already started, squashes & some herb plants, into the big growing pots. And I have to make 4 window boxes 4' x 8” each (PVC trim board) , so I can put my flowers in. I winter over a lot of flowering & foliage plants. Then a friend of mine & I have to put on a new roof on my 26' x 34' Cape. Just one side. The other side is new Architectural shakes. Then I have to replace clapboard on the front peak side, along with some trim, brick molding & window sills (PVC trim Board no more rotable wood). The clapboard is to be fiberglass reinforced concrete, (“Hardie Board”). & if I have enough time a new 8' x 8' deck. The one there now is 4' x 4',& fell off the house & is shored up with a gallon drywall bucket under 1 corner. I'm putting a floating one (not attached to the house) on concrete feet, so I don't have to bother with town permits & it can't be taxed either. So... I hope you all are doing well & enjoying a great Summer. I am going to try to get here more often, because I love hearing from you all.
What a lovely Monday day. A bit warm so will take of that with making up some ice coffee and or tea to freshen the day even more. Seems just like over night the white baby's breath bush bloomed and the lilies opened up also in the yard. Such a glorious treat to see. Summer is moving along fast, it seems and I am enjoying every bit of it. May you have a pleasant week. Smiles Gloria
My apologies for not being here as much as I would like. I've been dealing with some family issues. I want to thank you for your patience and lovely comments as well as wish you a a WONDERFUL weekend. Lots Of Hugs, Judi.
A glorious day to you. Hope your moments are being ever so kind to you. Blessings this morning with rain falling in our area and now this afternoon the sun is trying to shine off and on while more rain comes down once again ever so nicely. The flowerbeds are loving all this rain as the flowers show out its beauty. Smiles Gloria
A blessed day to you. A bit cool today so I think I need another hot cup of coffee to continue with my moments.
The wild yellow and pink roses are now in bloom around the yard, so warms my heart looking it the beauty of them each day while the roses last. Have a glorious Friday day. Smiles Gloria
My goodness it is early afternoon already. I am enjoying the moments so much dong this and that, this day is just flying away from me. I need another cup of coffee to brighten this afternoon even more. Smiles Gloria.
I have been enjoying the out of doors for most of the day and I truly do need another cup of coffee. Flowers are blooming more and more all over the yard plus the rose bushes. What a breathtaking site to see. I so do enjoy all the four seasons and all of its beauty.
We had another beautiful day. No rain. How nice. We are thankful for rain but we need some sunshine too. lol lol lol And sunshine we got. It was wonderful. Perfect temperatures. God is good to give us so many blessings. The birds sure are singing. We have a Bull Frog and he serenades us every night. Love it. Of course, the Hoot Owl is in competition with him and they are in a competition to see who can out do the other. But I think the Bull Frog will win. lol lol He is pretty loud. The sounds of warm weather never grow old. I love those crickets, fireflies lighting up the sky and all the night sounds, the geese making a lot of honking sound.. they are all fabulous. The wonders of God's creation. We can never ever take his creation for granted. Because it is so marvelous. Have a wonderful night my friends. God Bless you. hugs, Shirley
