Alexis in NC, Potatoes planted and Awards

 

Dusty went fishing today and of course catch and release 

I love this one ☝️ Dusty enjoyed himself. Let summer begin. 

Dusty and Cooper got awards last night at the awards ceremony 

I was proud of them. Like I always say it takes a village and without the village helping out my kids would have never been able to do all the sports. A true blessing. I am so thankful for all the parents who have helped us out. Thank you 😊 

I took lots of pictures I am so proud of the track and field team they have really accomplished so many important tasks this year. I am no way a sports announcer. Wtg team!!!! 

We did get four rows of 137 feet of potatoes planted all from seed potatoes that were left over from last years harvest. Talk about self sufficient. I was so happy we didn’t have to buy seed potatoes. 

Cooper and Dusty helped. Mostly Cooper as Colby and Dusty went to the Carney Rodeo. 

Alexis is North Carolina dropping Riggs and Ledger with Auntie Tara. Cheerwine and Brunswick stew are in the shopping cart. Have fun guys!!! 

I have been feeling extremely exhausted lately. The fibromyalgia has really started flaring up. Note the inflammation. Tonight I fixed pork chops and cabbage with ramps tonight. Take care my friends. Until next time ❤️

The Garden of 2024 🌿🪴👩🏻‍🌾

 

Hello sweet friends can you hardly believe it’s another growing season upon us. 2024 has moved into May in the wink of an eye.  With all the days of heavy rains the ground is being prepped and ready. The raised beds are full of nutrients and earthworms just waiting for those gorgeous plants to be inserted into the ground.  How I love this time of year. The smell of the earth and the warmth of the sun just make my heart sing. It is such a blessing to be able to have my Planta Greenhouse. 

I planted the cold frame in February. We did have some really cold nights however the seeds germinated and flourished to sweet delicious lettuce and radishes. The most amazing tasting spinach. When I say cold weather I am talking single digits with snow on the ground. 

The spinach has been so delicious. I am going to turn around and plant more seeds. 

Bruce planted all the onions with a bit on help from me. It’s just too hard for me to get down to plant them with my back. 

I always love to see the first dandelion flower of the year. Makes me so happy it’s a sign that spring is coming. 

If you could see it now in only a few weeks it has gone to growth mode. 

Happy Mother’s Day 

My daughter Alexis sent me this beautiful picture of Donna the twins grandma Amelia’s mom. I just love it. Brooks  is in front. Baker the other ketchup. So precious. I love them so much. 

We had to work for Mother’s Day but I got a lot of gifts and calls. It was a nice day. Makes my heart sing to be loved. 

Sending everyone love and happiness. 

Blessings

I am trying ❤️

A Day at Cody’s

 Bruce and I have been babysitting on Friday's. We have enjoyed being with our grandsons. Getting to know their personalities and their needs.  Baker Bruce is in the striped pjs and is easy going and can go to sleep on his own.   Brooks in the  sage green pjs wants to be held consistently and goes to sleep in your arms but don’t put him down. Haha I love them so much. 

Bruce is helping Cody with the bathroom upstairs. They got the shower installed and the wall built. It’s looking really good Cody gave me some peonies today from his yard. I grabbed a few cuttings from his lilac tree and his willow tree. I have been enjoying seeing them take root as I have done the plum tree that fell down in the past winter storm. We lost a lot of trees in that storm. 

Today we are at a show in Escanaba Michigan and it has been slow as molasses. Enjoying talking with everyone. I will update again soon. 

Today is Colby’s birthday he is 20 years old today. May the fourth be with you!!! We love you Colby.
