My moon picture

isn't as good as Gail's great photos;
but I like it.
It was taken at 9 PM five days ago.



We just had a 'frog strangler' of an afternoon of crazy thunderstorms.
Now you can't hardly tell.

Happy April and a blessed week to you all. ♥

More Wisteria

An old power pole, felled by time and Wisteria.





If you don't already follow my friend Gail, please stop by and spare her a prayer, good thought or best wishes as her husband goes into the hospital.
Thank you.
Have a blessed Easter and a wonderful weekend. ♥

*The Wisteria is blooming...*

Gail, you may be right. We're supposed to get to 33 tonight...

Hubby's shoulder surgery has been finalized for April 8th. Just a couple weeks away.

Have a blessed week all! ♥

Spring really is here.

Having problems with my internet. :-(
Anyway, after planting some of the pasture garden (we put in 300 feet of pvc water line a couple days ago so we'll have water out there), I took some pictures to share with you to show you more spring.

Took these with my phone, so sorry for the fogginess.

Lots of these around. I think they are wild peas, or field peas, or some such?


Blogger is being a brat.

And there are a lot of these little wild flowers around, too.





And wild daisies?



And the blackberries are blooming like crazy, too.



And we have dozens of bumble bees around. No pictures because they're too fast. I'm glad they aren't vicious. They do fly by my head sometimes; but mostly they just seem to fly around and sometimes have disagreements with each other.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! ♥

I missed St. Patrick's Day

We've been really busy. I've had little time on the internet. I've fallen behind on so many blogs, sorry. I only just realized that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day.
Hubby did not have his surgery today. He had to get approval from his heart doctor and today was the earliest they could get him in.
Now we wait and see if the doctors do their parts. He is not going to contact anyone. He would like to put it off until July.
We've been trying to get things done that he wants done before his surgery.
He made his first screen door this week. It's a learning process, but it should fit the kitchen door that others replaced.
We've been living in the house.
He wants to use old air conditioners that will be energy hogs. I want fans in all the rooms, but we need dozens of window screens.
So we'll see how it goes tonight with just fans. We may sleep in the trailer on hot nights. It's a smaller area to cool.

Here are some pictures of my messy kitchen...

That big pan between the sink and the stove is my rinsing pan, since I only have one sink.
Then there's the pantry. The shelf on the left was beaten into submission by the hubby. ;-)

Hubby says these little red flowers are red clover.

And these pretty little yellow flowers are blooming all over, too.

Hope you are all doing well! I hope to have more time sometime! God bless and have a wonderful week! ♥

No thanks to you, Mr. Frost

I know we got too early a start, but with all the feed stores, grocery stores and box stores having plants, (as well as hubby getting itchy fingers) we planted. With a predicted freeze, I covered the plants I thought most tender.
But Mr. Frost had other ideas.
We may have lost 3 of 4 tomato plants. The grape plants have had a set back, as have the bell pepper plants.
The broccoli didn't notice the weather.
The potato plants are a little wimpy, but we're pretty sure they'll recover fine.
The apple and pear trees seem none the worse for the cool night.
Oddly, the sunflower plants seem to be doing okay as well.

We found our bed frame and got our bed set up in the house, but we can't sleep in a 40 degree house, so we're still in the trailer.
Monday night might be 60!
So we may try sleeping in our bed Monday night, we'll see.
We did buy a small, electric space heater, so maybe we'll give that a try.

I lost a day or two somewhere.
Trying to get the tax stuff sorted too.
I think that's all I know right now, but that could be wrong, too, haha!

Have a blessed week, everyone!
