Are we heading to swamp yard 2014?
Had a delightful day yesterday even with the rain. G and I went out to lunch at Lily Sushi and Grill http://www.lilysushigrill.com/ and then shopping at Target. We didn’t buy much, but as usual I spent more than she did. LOL!
I hope the two days of rain we’re in for don’t make our yard a complete swamp, because the weather for a few days after that is looking wonderful. I’d love to get out in the yard and work a bit.
Patty thought she’d melt and it was merely a drizzle. We had to push her out the door every time. Gavin doesn’t care, his philosophy is: When you’ve got to pee you’ve got to pee.
At least it’s NOT this.
Volunteers?
These are not from this year. I did take some pictures today, but didn’t get them downloaded. This is where my garden is now, except it needs to be cleared of leaves and winter wind-blown crap.
The garden looks worse than this and is in dire need of mulch. We didn’t get around to mulching it last year at all. What mulch you see here is gone. All I have is tons of leaves.
Since we are planning to fill in the pond, I will be moving many plants this spring. Any volunteers, willing to help me get my pond filled in and gardens in shape, will get plenty of chances at iris and other flowers that need splitting.
Record cold! NO!!!!
I want to work in the yard. I want to build this!
I want warm weather, not record cold.
Yes, I am whining.
I have had enough cold weather.
Make. It. Stop.

Nooooooooooooooo! More snooooooow!
Thank goodness, even though it snowed all afternoon and is still snowing…this is all we got.
WHEW!!
Is it there?
We’ve looked and looked no sign of Spring, not one of these daffodils has peeped out of the ground yet. March 25th and we’re supposed to get snow. A high of 36 degrees and a low of 19. All. Week.
You all have a good one.
Is it here?
At this point, I have no idea when my tree is going to look like this again. The buds are small and tight to the branches yet. With this cold weather hitting us again, it may be a while.
March came in like a lion and looks like it will also leave like one. Seriously? Snow on Tuesday?
Here’s hoping that April arrives on gentle, warm breezes.
You all have a good one.
Sick of cooking?
I have days where I am so beyond tired of cooking that nothing sounds good. I dig through cookbook after cookbook to find something that appeals to me. Those are the days I usually order a pizza, Chinese food, or just wing it with an easy to fix and clean up afterwards meal.
One of my favorite fall back meals is beef and bean burritos. The Curmudgeon loves them, I can serve them on paper plates, and have very little clean up afterwards.
What do you do when you’re sick of cooking?
Do you have any recipes that you tend to fall back on?
Cookies anyone?
Have you ever…
Had a sneezing fit so bad you thought your head would explode?
Tripped over your own feet in public and pretended you meant to do it?
Walked into a wall?
Stepped into a hole and sprained an ankle?
Felt you had to apologize to someone for your dog’s over enthusiastic welcome?
Today was klutz day here. Can you tell?
If you had a secret room…
What would it look like? Where would it be?
The side you see here would be my secret room. If I had this room, I’d spend most of my time in there. The rest of my time I’d spend in the garden.
You all have a good one!
Spring?
Welcome to swamp. Yes, as usual, we are now in Spring swamp mode. It drizzled all day and then by nightfall it began to pour. The dogs do not want to go out, they think they are made of sugar and they’ll melt.
Even though we’re supposed to have a couple of days of nice weather, directly behind that is another taste of winter. Boo.
Had fun yesterday.
I really enjoyed going out to lunch with my friend G. We went to Chili’s and had flat bread pizzas and topped it off by sharing a volcano cake topped with ice cream coated in a chocolate shell. Afterwards we went wandering around a mall working off the meal.
I found the dessert plates to go with my dishes and bought them. I am so tickled I can add to my china as I want. I never had any that I could do that with before. I think I’ll gift us with a nice platter for our anniversary.
I’m surprised. I am now 60. Who knew? I remember when I thought I’d never make it to 30. Funny, I don’t feel any different mentally than I did at 30. Physically? Well, yeah. Growing older isn’t for sissies.
You all have a good one!
Holy Crap! Another year just whizzed past.
For my birthday I asked for…
Didn’t get it. So I asked for…
Didn’t get that either…next, I asked for…
Yep, you’re right, I didn’t get that either. Sigh.
Heck, I didn’t even get…
I did get
I love this.
You all have a good day!
