This morning as I was checking on my two new rose bushes we had planted yesterday, I stepped out onto the deck and was struck by Orion being perfectly visible inthe night (morning ) sky above me. I resolved to write something to you all just daily "stuff". I just want to send out what I am doing just so you know I "do stuff" even though job searching has been so difficult.
Take yesterday for example. I called my VT companion to tell her we had not been able to get appointments sooner than Wed. the 29th. She lives close and asked if I had been on my walk yet. I told her no an she told me to stop by her house when I walked. I stopped by (8:30 am) and she gave me two porcelain dolls one of which is quite lovely. She then told me I could have some strawberry plants and some other things---11:30 am I finished planting the last of the berries and emptiedthe bag of Nutrimulch -what was left of it, on my petunias in front.
Yesterday was quite warm-mid 80's I think--so it was time for me to get out of the sun and cool down, but look what I had to show for my spent energy! I have a rose from one of our new rosebushes on the table. It is hot pink, 5 inches across and just as pretty as a picture!
Cooking meals has been taking longer, but I have been using garden produce and I think every thing tastes wonderful because I am using all fresh ingredients if possible--it also fits within our budget. (Fix what you have because our money is just around the corner).
Today I am reading a book by Paul Cardall. I told Jeff I would review it because even though I have plenty to keep me busy, I have had a little experience with heart issues with my children and I have lost a son. Jeff sent the book priority mail last week so I am under pressure to finish it and get the review done quickly for thepublisher.
Seems like I had something else to write but pressure is just around the corner for this project, so I will write later.
Love to all,
Mom
PS Dinner was Tamale Pie form all fresh ingredients--yummmmm. Recipe fro Two Little Chefs blog. I did chicken instead of beef. Bread in the bread machine almost finished as we got back from Gardner Village and the witch walk--smelled wonderful!!!!!! Bread thanks to Dad ---
