A Pool one wheelbarrow at a time!!!


Off to work again....It has started to rain which is good on 2 fronts and horrible on another.  First it is cooler and I can work a little easier, plus everything is getting very green and growing new shoots everywhere.

But the mosquitos.....whack,whack,whack...ouch.

I have added some new herbs to the garden and planted some nasturtium and chive seeds.  I had some squash and watermelon plants but something kept eating them...nothing seems to eat the herbs though.


I have recently added a stone path through my yard...connecting the whole thing nicely....

It is funny here....I can grow almost nothing from a seed, however,  if you break a piece of a plant and put it in the ground there is an 80% chance it will grow....so I am collecting plants and shoots off plants especially if they are edible to increase the offerings in my garden.  I did manage to start corn from a seed but it is now in my depression and I do not believe I planted it there.






Some updated pictures of the rest of the place.   I did a super clean up in preparation.......for what you ask???

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

So This is Christmas

So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight I was reminded of this song at a dinner theatre I went to on Monday so I looked it up and here it is.  It is amazing that a song written so many years ago is still so relevant today.  You would think with evolution and technology and all the advances of today's world there would be no validity in songs like this.  Wrong! I only hope that we as citizens of the world can join forces as one in time to save ourselves.

I am cooking from the ingredients I have!

I found a website that allows you to put in the ingredients you have in your kitchen and then gives you recipes to use them.  I have added the gadget to my blog if you want to check out how it works.  I am going to try it because I am always trying to find new ways to prepare all the things I like to eat in my kitchen.  It takes recipes from a multitude of good cooking sites such as Martha Stewart, Epicurious, All recipes and more. this week I will try the puffed pancake with strawberries and I don't have to check because Supercook already figured that out for me......
