Things are getting done!
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sat May 09, 2009 9:14 pm The last two or three weeks I sat and wished I was getting more things done. I had that surgery on my left arm for skin cancer and that put restrictions on my digging and lifting. It might have pulled the incision apart. I have a very nice, special husband who helped with things I couldn't do. You know how it is though, you would like to be doing it yourself. I did let him do the dishes so I wouldn't get my arm wet though. Dishes are not my favorite thing to do. I did though have outside chores that needed done. So, we did planning and dr pounded in posts and put up the fences. Yesterday, he started putting down the plastic and mulch. I watered things good. This week started out okay. Our neighbor came and mowed the extra large yard with his big riding lawn mower. It took him an hour and a half of riding around to accomplish what it would have taken us all day. We wouldn't have gotten it done with our push mower in one day. It was a hot humid day and we would have expired. Bob had it done before it was too hot. You do have to get things done early here or wait until evening. Of course, you can't have him out mowing when are sitting in the house doing "fun" things so we were out and moving things and pulling weeds and trimming here and there and getting cold drinks. Things like that. Soon, my nose was running over my chin, my eyes were burning, both from sweat and from allergies. My throat clogged up and I had to come inside and take an antihistamine. I paid Bob for mowing the yard by making him some whole wheat yeast rolls. Not a great thing to do on a hot day either but it's done and no harm from it. Wednesday, we went to Bryan/College Station, aka BCS to the doctor. She spent about two minutes telling me my arm had healed nicely and I didn't need to come back unless I experienced problems with it. From the doctor we went to lunch at Golden Corral Buffet. I was still feeling effects from allergies so didn't enjoy it as much as usual. We stopped at WalMart to pick up a prescription I had called about on Friday. I called the doctor's office and ask the assistant to call in one for the strips for the new "free" meter the doctor gave me when I was there at the end of March. Well, we couldn't get the prescription because the doctor's office had not included a medicare coding for them. I could wait while they faxed the doctor but they were rather busy so it would be a bit before they could do it. I didn't have two or three hours to wait around so we went home. Thursday, I called the doctor's office and the assistant muttered, "They didn't ask for a medicare code." Duh! Don't they call in prescriptions on a regular basis? Don't they know medicare prescriptions need a code to determine payment?Shouldn't they know these things? Apparently not. She said she would fax it over. I called the pharmacy a while later and they said they didn't have it yet so I called the assistant back and she said she would call it over to them. I waited awhile and called the pharmacy and yes they had it. So, for the second time in two days we made the two hour round trip down to BCS to pick it up. It was hot and I was a tad upset with them for making another trip so I didn't stop and check it before we left. I just checked that they were strips for the glucose meter and the lancets. We had lunch and came home. We passed a little house on a rather largish yard and it had a for rent sign on the gate so we copied the number and called when we got home. I had this idea that if we were going to be making so many doctor visits it would be nice to live closer. But, they wanted twice as much rent for half the size we have now so I guess we won't do that. Friday, we went to some yard sales and got a few nice things. I picked up one of those metal kitchen stools with the pull out step from the 50's. It still works. It will need sanded and painted because someone painted it with a brush over all the chips and dirt. When we got back home around noon, I got out the new glucose strips to check my glucose levels to see how much I needed to eat for lunch. The strips didn't work. They were for another model of the same brand of meter that the doctor gave me.Now, I have 100 strips that won't work in the meter and medicare won't pay for anymore until those are gone. I called the doctor's office and the assistant's solution was " come in and pick up the other model meter." At that point I sort of lost it and told her about the two hours round trip and half a tank of gas and the wasted trip the day before and hung up. dr says we will go buy a meter that I like and the strips and pay for them ourselves and when I go to the doctor in July we will take the whole package of stuff down and set it on the doctor's desk and tell him to give it to someone else and write me a prescription with proper medicare code and we will take it and get it filled ourselves. Saturday, that's today, we got up and did some outside work. dr put mulch on the plastic and came back and said he didn't have enough. I tied my cucumbers to the fence so they would start climbing instead of sprawling out over the yard. We went to breakfast when we were both hot and needed a break. We made a trip to Home Depot in Huntsville and bought more mulch and a piece of plywood so he can install the room air conditioner in the bedroom. We don't use whole house air conditioning. It's bad for dr's ears and our allergies. Even in Arizona we only used fans. When we came home I cleaned the front porch, except for sweeping it, and came in and washed up all the dirty glasses and cooked some macaroni for salad for supper later. When it cools down some later I want to trim the grass along the long flower bed. With all of our coming and going during the week and not sleeping well due to allergies I haven't managed it yet. But, I think we have accomplished some things for the week so I think we can be justified if we take tomorrow (Mother's Day) off and do something fun. Now, let's see what can we find that's really fun.....dooley This blog entry has been viewed 417 times
A Day Off
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 2:11 am We decided we'd been working too hard so we would take a day off. We couldn't decide what we wanted to do so we went to breakfast and took the Texas Road Map with us. After staring at it for a time we decided that what we really needed to do was go to Home Depot in Huntsville and buy some garden soil in bags and a hose reel. So, after remembering to go to the bank first, we headed to Huntsville. We looked at all the potting soil. We are going to mix the potting soil with some garden soil from the yard, some mushroom compost and some of the packaged potting soil and use it for the buckets for the tomatoes. We, also, found a discarded bathtub that we want to fill with soil after cleaning it out good. It actually looks very clean now but we will do some further cleaning on it. We bought a big bag of Miracle Gro with moisture control and six bags of Scott's garden soil. It says no sticks in it. We bought a lemon balm and a marjarom plant. We bought a couple of hose reels that faster to the house. I thought the others were a little too pricy. We went and looked at refrigerators. We have a double door one that comes with the house we rent. Half is refrigerator and half is freezer. It works just fine but it takes up a lot of space and neither side is really big enough. We found one we like but they charge too much for delivery because their store is too far from Madisonville. It's not our fault their store isn't closer. We didn't buy a refrigerator today. We went to Trinity. We were going to go a little further but we stopped at a sausage shop and had lunch and bought several kinds of sausages and some other stuff. They had barbecue sandwiches so we ate lunch there, too. Then, we went to Trinity and looked around and bought a couple of things at the Alco store. Since it was after two we turned around and headed back. We stopped at the WalMart store and bought three six paks of red petunias and a nine pack of mixed purple ones. I'm not sure what I will do with them. I want to buy geraniums but I haven't found any that I want to buy yet. I can't decide what I want anyway. I had some nice ones in Arizona and I gave them to Dan. I couldn't bring them along. We bought a couple more bags of potting soil, too. We got home about 4:30 so we did spend quite awhile off doing stuff and seeing things. We will go back to that sausage shop. I bet you can guess that we had sausages for supper and strawberry shortcake though we bought the strawberries yesterday. Tomorrow we are going to go to Normangee to a six family yard sale to see what we can find. I hope it isn't canceled. It's forecast to rain, but not until afternoon. I need to get out my map to see where it is at before we start out not knowing what road is where. A map is a good thing to have when you don't know the area. So, we will get up early and go exploring again tomorrow and if it rains in the afternoon, I will read my book so we can go to the library on Friday. Next week we have to go to Bryan/College Station because I have a preop on Tuesday with paperwork and on Thursday I will have that skin cancer off my arm. We will see what else we can get into down there. I need to look at my map and see what is close. I hope you had a good day, too and did just exactly what you wanted to do and not just what you had to do. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 432 times
doctor's appointment, part 2
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2009 5:32 pm We got up early and had breakfast, went over to let Oreo out and left here about quarter to nine. The fog let up by then but it drizzled rain on us all the way so had to use the intermittent wipers. We got there about ten and got right in to see the doctor. We had a good talk about things. He ask questions, I ask questions and now, I have a new glucose meter and a changed medication and a new set of instructions. I have to take and record my glucose every day. I haven't been doing that as regular as I should. I have to ride that exercise bike at least a mile a day five days a week. I did 2.25 miles today. I have to take and record my blood pressure Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have to "watch" my diet and "try" to lose some weight. I do not have to have my thyroid checked until sometime in July and I do not have to go back until then. So, for being "squeezed in" it was about better than a regular scheduled visit. It took about half an hour total. Then, we went to Home Depot to look for a lawn mower. Riding lawn mowers were the ones of choice, but not in our budget. They had some on sale with high wheels on the back. It's a gas push type. We bought one of those. Our yard surely needs the grass cut but now it's too wet. It says not to use it when the grass is wet. I know it clogs up under the deck and stops the blade from turning. We stopped at Golden Corral and had lunch. I ate a lot of salad. I also found some sugar free chocolate pudding but ruined it by adding a little vanilla ice cream. I found a cookie, too. We got back to go to the surgeon for the biopsy on my arm. That took all of two minutes. We got down the haul to the elevator and I had to go back for my hat. We went to WalMart and got all disgruntled and MAD. The girl told us it wasn't done and it would be about 45 minutes. The doctor sent them by computer at 10:15 and it was a about 2:30. I went down to the Pharmacist window and asked her about it. She went through a stack of papers and said, "Oh, you're the one. It came through by computer but it printed over top of each other so we couldn't read it so I'll have to call and see what it is supposed to be." Now, shouldn't she have already done that. Then, they were going to put it on the bottom of the stack. I told her I'd had a long day and had a long drive home and I wasn't going to wait another hour or two to get a prescription that should have been done and waiting for us when we got there. So, she filled it while we waited but then she gave it to the girl at the pickup window and there was a line about two isles long so it took another half hour to get through the line. I couldn't even holler at that girl because she was a trainee and was there by herself and looked scared enough as it was. I did remember to drive carefully coming home even though I got behind a couple of drivers out for a slow crawl home or where ever they were going. We stopped at the store and dr went in and bought some deli stuff for supper It's thundering and bad weather is coming. I'm out of here. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 481 times
doctor's appointment
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:03 pm I have two doctor's appointments tomorrow. You know how much I hate going to doctors. I did only have one in the afternoon but I called yesterday for a refill or renewal on prescriptions and now I have another one for the morning. I do get to go have lunch in between. I wonder why doctors can't just renew a prescription. I was just there last month. It's cloudy today and says we might have heavy rain with hail this afternoon and evening. It did say there was only going to be clouds tomorrow but now when I look it says clouds in the morning with the possibility of heavy rain in the afternoon. I'd say the possibility is 100 percent since we have to be out and about. We'll leave Chance in the house. She does have shelter outside but she hates thunderstorms and inside she can at least hide from them. It rained yesterday and last night. I looked at the beds that I planted. There is lots of little green things coming up. Unfortunately, I think they are little blades of grass and weeds. I don't think I will pull anything just yet though in case one or two of them might be the stuff that I planted. The morning glories are liking the rain and appear to be doing some serious growing. I got my oatmeal bread made yesterday. Would you believe one loaf is almost gone. Darn! I wonder who is eating it? It sure does make good toast though. In the interest of losing weight, I did leave off the peach jam this time. Now, I need to go and ride the exercise bike. I wonder how many miles it will take to work off a couple slices of oatmeal bread toast. Maybe, I'll try sewing instead. I got my bear project all ready to sew. That sounds like a better idea than riding an exercise bike any day. You have a good day now and have one for me tomorrow. dooley Last edited: Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:58 pm This blog entry has been viewed 545 times
Busy, Busy!
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 1:52 am The forecast is for rain starting tomorrow and lasting through Saturday. Scattered thundershowers, Isolated thundershowers, Stray thundershowers, and just plain thundershowers. I wonder how many ways there are to say it's going to rain and maybe there will be thunder with it. But there were some things started that needed to be finished before the rains come. I had pulled the grass and weeds from the ends of the porch and dug the dirt and put the tile into place so I need to finish the beds. I hauled compost and filled the beds. I planted pole beans on one end and cucumbers on the other end. The end with the cucumbers was a little wider so I added a row of swiss chard. Then, I dug out the little bed between the rose bushes. I had dug it out when I was pulling weeds out of the rose bushes but it seemed too early to plant anything so I just left it except for some compost. The henbit was trying to reclaim it. I pulled the weeds and dug it up and raked it out and put tiles around it. I planted a mix of annual flowers in it. It's about two by four feet. I planted another tub of greens and put a row of radishes in it. The lettuce and spinach has been going at a speedy rate. I went over and watered some of the pots of plants at Glenda's. I know it's supposed to rain tomorrow but the dirt was looking dry and who knows where the rain will fall. Sometimes here and sometimes there and sometimes not at all. I went and got the camera and took some pictures. I knew Glenda would like to see the tulips, all two of them. I hope more will come. There are a lot of yellow wildflowers but they didn't show up well in the pictures. dr wanted to go to town to look for a caulking gun and some caulk to finish the door project. There was a little storage area at the end of the porch but it didn't have a door so we didn't like leaving too much in it. Now, it has a door and I don't have to bring my tools inside every time. We went to WalMart and got the caulk and he bought a hammer. The one we had disappeared, never to be found anywhere. That is until we stop looking for it. It will be right where it should be or close to it. We stopped at the thrift shop but didn't buy anything. We had a hamburger and came home. I made red beans for supper with assorted vegetables and had the left whole wheat bread. Now, tomorrow I think I will make some oatmeal bread which is what I was going to make when I made whole wheat bread. I think I accomplished what I needed to do today. I don't know what I will do tomorrow if it doesn't start to rain. I guess we will need to go to the library since I have finished my books and the one dr wanted me to read, too. I have another bear project I want to start and that will be something to do when it is rainy outside. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 497 times
It's raining, it's pouring
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:55 am I remember chanting that when I was younger. "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring, he bumped his head on the end of the bed and didn't get up until morning." There must be a lot of sayings about rain, like "rain, rain, go away, come again another day." Anyway it started raining here in the night on Tuesday and it's still raining. It's rained steady and fairly hard at times. We've even had some thunder with it at times. I haven't seen lightening though. It's quit sinking into the ground and is making puddles in all the low parts of the ground. Chance has to be pushed out the door a couple of times a day and if I don't go out with her she stands on the deck and shivers and won't go down in the yard unless I go out with her. She beats me back to the door when she's finished. Oreo has been going right out but she runs a couple of circles around Glenda's car to check that she's not in it and then does her business and heads back to the door. Both dogs need a good drying when they get inside. Along with the rain is some cool temperatures and we sure don't want them wet and cold for too long. Everyone is saying "Isn't this a nice rain. We really need it." I could cheerfully do without it but I guess the grass, trees and plants need it and the ground needs it and well, I guess someone needs it. But, couldn't we just have a little each day or just have it one day a week or .... All day and all night for three days and more is a bit much! It does make good weather for making soup. Today I made 13 bean soup. That's 13 different kinds of beans, not just 13 beans. I bought a bag of mixed beans at the store yesterday. I bought several bags of beans of different varieties. Tomorrow, I think I will make chicken soup with home made noodles. I hope it stops raining by Sunday but the forecast says it won't stop until Monday. So, maybe vegetable beef soup on Sunday. But, when you make soup you also have to make fresh bread. Today, we had white bread that I had made two days ago. We finished it off. I'm thinking that tomorrow I will make whole wheat bread. I'm making more of my own bread these days since I'm home and not working. I think I am eating more of it, too. I'll never lose any weight at this rate. Goodness, Chance and dr have both gone to bed. Maybe they are hoping the rain will disappear during the night. It won't. It's going to rain forever and ever. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 665 times
Civil War Enactment
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2009 4:30 am Today, dr, Glenda and I went to a civil war enactment. We had a great time and walked all around the encampment and took a great lot of pictures. We will post them as soon as we get them uploaded and sorted out. The enactment people were trying to be as authentic as possible and were dressed in period clothing and camping in old fashioned tents. We asked if they were waterproofed. The man we talked to said that each year they were dipped into a waterproof substance which generally worked. We just asked because it was quite cloudy and windy. Rain wasn't in the forecast until Monday but they are there tomorrow yet and it could rain on them. They were all cooking over campfires and using the iron pots and old cooking things. A few had some modern things interspersed but not too many. I had to laugh at one lady. She had on a really elegant black dress with red lace and a hat with the lace hanging down the back. She was wearing high heeled boots and holding her dress up with one hand and trying to keeping her hat on with the other hand. Over her arm she was carrying supplies in two WalMart plastic bags. I wonder couldn't she find any cloth shopping bags. When the enactment started they were shooting with black powder and fire came out the end of the barrels of their rifles or pistols. There were big cannons going off and filling the air with more smoke. Sometimes it was so smoky it was quite hard to see the people. Soon, there were "dead" bodies laying on the ground and these wagons were going around picking them up. The confederate army wouldn't pick up the union guys but they went through their supplies to see if they had anything then left them there. There was a union officer who "died" right near us. But, he kept sitting up and shooting. Once the horses ran right over him or so it looked. He sat up and shot at them when they were past. I think he was supposed to be out of action but didn't want to quit. There were vendors there selling things like you would have bought. Candles and clothing and cooking pots and dishes. Glenda bought a really cute miniature tea set. I would have bought some books but they were a bit overpriced. They did have some nice dresses though. I wouldn't have any where to wear one but they were beautiful. I'm glad we don't have to wear those long dresses and all the petticoats under them. I had a hoop under my wedding dress and it was a pain to walk and sit in it. Pictures will come tomorrow, hopefully. Between dr and I and Glenda we certainly took more than a few. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 474 times
Chance took a walk!
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 1:27 am Well, actually Chance took a run. dr and I were getting ready to walk over to Glenda's this afternoon. When I opened the door Glenda was coming up our step onto the porch. I was surprised to see her when we were going out and forgot that Chance was in the house instead of out on her deck. She heard Glenda and darted past me. She did actually stop by Glenda and then seemed to realize she was out in the front yard. She took off like a streak of lightening. I thought she was going over to Glenda's which is what she done last time but she headed down the driveway and out into the road. I'm sure glad none of those pickup trucks were flying low through there. I was right behind her, going as fast as I can which isn't as fast as Chance. I can't run much at all anymore since I hurt my knee. I kept hollering at her to stop and she kept going. She did stop down by Bob's house when his four dogs came out to check her out. I thought I would catch her. I was trying to sort of sneak up on her so she wouldn't run. Bob's dogs went back under his fence but Chance couldn't figure out how to get under the barbed wire. I almost caught her but at the last second she sensed me there and took off again. She made it to the end of the road and turned the corner. I was still back by Bob's and thought now I would never find her. dr went back after the truck figuring he could catch up to her if she got too far ahead of me. When I was almost to the corner that DOG came back around the corner, smiling and wagging her tail, and sat right down in front of me. Of course, I grabbed a hold of her harness and started chewing her out and turned to go home. It was by now a few "city" blocks from the house. Luckily dr was coming with the truck. Chance was panting hard and thought "Oh, boy! A ride back home." Wrong, dr got our and hooked up her leash and he walked her back home. I was panting hard too, but I got to ride home in the truck. Chance got hollered at all the way home and stuck out in her yard. We ignored her until supper time. We went on over to Glenda's and fixed the railing on her steps. When we came home she was laying right up against the door. She now realized she goofed. Will she do it again? Sure, as soon as she catches us with the door open. I want to get a screen door for the front as we had one in Arizona and she never went out of the door even if the screen was open. But here, it's every chance she gets. We are thinking of sectioning off a bit of the porch with lattice so if she gets out she can only get onto that section of the porch. It would have a little gate. Sort of like the entryway some stores have to keep the heat or cold out of stores. Chance may have recovered from her walk but I'm not so sure about dr and I. We are getting too old to run races with the dog. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 471 times
MORE seeds
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2009 12:48 am When we moved here and I saw this big yard I thought, "Wow!" I can plant lots of things. I thought that one section of that long porch would make a fine greenhouse. But, we've rethought that for now and are building something on smaller lines on the east side of the house. I bought a black tub, 25 x 19 x 6 inches high and I'm going to use it for salad fixings. Lettuce, spinach, radishes, etc. I have several kinds of lettuce seeds already and some spinach, too. I thought I would buy a couple more of those tubs, too and try some early vegetables in them. I think beets might grow in them and some other greens that I can use in salads while they are small. They will fit in our cold frame/greenhouse type thing very nicely. As for seeds, my oldest son sent me seeds, I brought a few saved seeds with me, Glenda sent me some seeds, I bought a few seeds and today I got a package from Netty. Thanks, Glenda and Netty. Now, I started a garden book for myself listing seeds I have, seeds that I would like to have and seeds that I will still buy. I listed in the book all the seeds that I have now and there is 135 different ones. Now, I wonder if that is enough to fill up this big yard. I still want to buy some herbs as plants so I can use them earlier than seed started ones. I did so hate leaving that big rosemary bush back in Arizona. I do have a basil plant already growing on my counter. I need to make a list of the seeds that are annual and the ones that are perennial and think if I want mixed up colors or beds of all the same colors. Do I want a huge bed or small beds, close or apart? Yikes! It's a good think I still have a bit of time to start the ones that need to go into the ground as plants. Some seeds do better put right in the warm ground. I'm going to put some dianthus in a bed maybe tomorrow and I'd like alyssum in with them but it's just a bit early for those I think. The ground is too cold. So, I have some research to do first and maybe I'll start on it in a bit. I wonder if I google some plants if I will end up back here. On another note, last week I went to the doctor. Glenda kindly consented to share her primary care doctor with me. I found that I liked him very much. He sent me for a full panel of lab tests which I went and had blood drawn for yesterday morning. This afternoon a girl from his office called and said that they had the lab work back this morning and everything looked very good and the doctor told her to tell me, "Good job!" I'd been worrying about the thyroid levels since it had been three months since I had a test for it. But they are still in the middle of normal. The doctor did assure me that they would go down. It sometimes just takes longer in some people. Of course, it took many years to grow back and over produce and raise the levels so I guess maybe a year isn't too much for the going back down part. My diabetes is in good control. My A1C was 5.9 which is lower than last time so I am pleased with it though I will work at lowering it just a bit more. I'd like it to be down around 5. Andy said his was probably higher but I'm diabetic and he is not so it doesn't count with him. Not yet anyway. My son Dan just went through the testing and came out very good. His was borderline a couple of years ago but he's got it down to normal levels now. He'll just have to be tested every so often to make sure it's staying in control. So, the list of things needing done is growing shorter. I still need to have my eyes tested and see if I need new glasses. The eye doctor called just before we moved and told me it was time for a checkup so I guess that's on the list. Now, I guess I will look and see what I have to do next. I think, go wash the supper dishes. dooley This blog entry has been viewed 513 times
I have seeds now
Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 3:21 am Today, I was going to work outside and I did start out to do that. But the mailman came and we had to go make a deposit at the bank from a check that came in the mail and the bank closed at noon. The truck didn't want to come home so soon so it turned and headed too Huntsville. We ended up at the super WalMart. dr wanted to look at ladders and find out how much they would cost. Now, he knows and can plan on when to fit one into the budget. Some things don't fit into a budget, they just have to come when they appear. But, a ladder will have to fit into the budget. But, we had to go in through the garden dept because that is where we could find a parking place that wasn't out in the back forty. I bought two six paks of dianthus, a wine color. We bought nozzles for the hose we bought last week. Then, I found the seed section. I bought 20 paks of mixed flowers and vegetables. They are the cheap seeds but if any of them grow it will be worth the money. I probably won't need to buy anymore seeds. Tom sent me seeds, Netty sent me seeds, Glenda has seeds to share. I probably won't need to buy a lawn mower with all the seeds I have or will have. But, I do like flowers and would maybe just grow flowers but then I like vegetables fresh out of the garden, too. I don't like weeds too much and there always seems to be more weeds than flowers and vegetables. I wonder why? We plant seeds for flowers and vegetables and water them and feed them and end up with a reasonable amount most of the time. But, the weeds just come up on their own and no one waters them unless it rains and no one feeds them and they grow just fine and dandy. They try to take over the flower beds and garden. You keep pulling them and they come back twice as thick because you loosened the dirt for them. But, they'd be there anyway. I've seen weeds growing out of little cracks in rocks. Why won't our seeds do that? Is it because we baby them too much? Maybe they've been bred to be finicky. It must be the seed people's fault. Oh, well! I think I must be about ready for bed. Tomorrow is another day and while it is not going to be as warm as today it won't be raining and I can finish cutting those weeds and make the goat happy. I may even fill my peat pots and plant a few of those seeds. dooley Last edited: Sun Feb 01, 2009 3:21 am This blog entry has been viewed 480 times
