Cinnamon Granny…..yes, we all check our plant babies daily..at least! Cuz gardeners are a crazy lot and each year we get ALL EXCITED as tho we’ve never seen the tip of a radish leaf begin to break the ground. LOL But isn’t it great to still have that wonder….for all the negative in the world?
Lil’Sister…ugh, pollen. Hasn’t started here yet. We get mostly pine pollen. Yellow all over.
Muffy….you’ve definitely joined the gardeners. 🙂 Can hear it in how you describe your baby plants and wanting more of them. You’ve really done well to grow them up to small pots and have enough to give away. \0/ Isn’t it fun? The best enthusiasm is early and then when you get your first harvests. The weeding can get tiresome…tho I really like it but now it HURTS so much. Enthusiasm can wane by the end of a long season with a big garden and endless produce. The canning, dehydrating, freezing…it isn’t quite as thrilling after umpteen batches. But taking a look at canning jars on shelves…soooo ‘purty’. Or dehydrated food…taking up waaay less space and yet it’s lots of food. Amazing.
We took one of the elderlies out to eat today. The other is …being difficult. It’s getting to be that season of life. 🙁 But we had a nice meal and Walmart stop. I finally got some back-up thumb drives. Something may or may not have gone wrong the last time I backed up this struggling laptop. I save a LOT of data. I would be QUITE irritated to lose it. So now I’ll have a back up. Then the next time, I’ll use a different thumb drive to back-up. If it messes up, I haven’t destroyed the original. Then I’ll just leap frog them. Want to do that soon.
Also renewed my supply of near and mid-range [computer] reader glasses. Lost pair still hasn’t turned up yet. It will but was old and scratched lens anyway. I like them at point-of-use. Or tied to me. If StuffHitsFan….I NEED to see! My far vision is fine. DH is opposite. We make a pair. QQ
Now that we have a regular trash pick-up and DH has more free time, he’s making one day a week for clutter clearing in garage/basement. Yeah, that wilderness area once inhabited by “ratfinkus mutitudinous” and it’s lessor cousins. ICK! But since my ancient kitty died and we began to use poison, zero population….so far. It’s been 6 months but… I’m still holding my breath. I’ve been fooled before. Anyway, he’s making slow but sure progress. But if I catch him throwing out my treasures, he’s in for it! Hmph. We tend to see value in different things. LOL
OldMtWoman G’nite all
