Toilet + Paints =

So far the announcement of the month ? You ask !

Well there are several.  The bathroom is almost done.









 I have finally finished a painting from the watercolor class. The teacher goes so fast. In her defense I do believe it is to make us practice at home but seriously does she realize that we are "Seniors" and I want to be treated accordingly.

Well I am finishing my homework.

On to the never ending bathroom. It only has the glass to finish off the job but Good Lord it was started June 7th and it is what December now ????? But there was a lot involved and many a hiccup which does happen in Home Improvement right ?????







I have been preserving up a storm the lady down the street my "new" friend has allowed me to pick her tree's. She had some super sexy dark red plums I made Plum Jam and some Strawberry Plum jam. The yard is just an on going project. I water endlessly but rather than have a drip system which I do agree is great. I have chosen to water individual plant when they need ti and directly. Yes it is time consuming but the results are good.




It is butterfly season. I have set up my butterfly grower safe haven for those caterpillars that may bite the dust. Why you ask not use nature?

Well ravens, ants, spiders, and all other yard shit eat the lil critters. Yummy for them not for the caterpillar? Thus the safe haven hamper! If you want to know more About Monarch Butterflies or any local butterflies you can go to this site. Linda and Rick run it. They have monthly sales and you can call them anytime to purchase anything butterfly!

Oh yes and my baby brother brought over his corn he grew. Lil Thing. Oh Mama would be so proud! And the corn was really sweet and delicious we grilled it.

New stuff

What a great week. Garden is blooming. Got my button stuff out to start my newest adventure. Oh please don't ask. The sun is going to shine this week. I am trying to get ready for a garage sale later this month. I am off to update my cooking blog Just Ma's. I have so many pictures of food I have made but have not had the time to put up the stuff with recipe's and pictures. My ass butt gets numb sitting here for so long.

My laborer doing the chairs

We also got some new rod iron lounge chairs for the yard. I figure the dogs can not chew them , the sun can't fade them and they will last forever. Now a days they ask you if for an extra few dollars  would you like a lifetime warranty . Well the way things go and the age I am I think not 1 more year is a life time.

Ta-Da done

 So today I am going to go sink  my tomato plants. I will plant them with Basil they have natural predators that help each other. Last year I planted my tomatoes the next day I went up to water them and they were gone...LOL right out of the ground the gophers took them. Does the puppy know she is Not helping me. When I dig - she digs then sits in the spot she dug. I have to fake dig! Her leg is in the row I dug for the dill plants.

Helping

The tomatoes

I must-must-must start to walk again I use to walk a few miles a day. Routine is so hard to get back into and it is not like I do not want to.

Just a few things

And they talk about women doing makeup I really did not know men still did this in there cars....... and look how nice my patio looks at night with the little lights thanx pa!
