Break is over
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I probably should’ve taken a longer break but I promised I’d be back today and so I am.
My dear, dear friend Elena is in the hospital and they put a pacemaker in yesterday. Please keep her in your thoughts for the next few days. I understand they will release her on Wednesday. I have a candle burning for her.
I am feeling a slow release of anxieties. It will take a little while, but that huge weight of stress that sat on my shoulders for so long is already beginning to lighten. I know that once I get all the bills caught up and we send off the final few checks on the MIL’s bills, I will feel much lighter.
It’s a one step at a time process.
You all have a good one!

Indulging myself for change…felt nice.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Some days you just have to do for yourself. Yesterday was one of those days for me. After my walk with Annie I stopped in at a friend’s shop and since we had the place to ourselves for a great deal of the time we spent it getting caught up on each others news. It’s been a while since I stopped in there.
I was a bit relieved to find The Curmudgeon up for a nap and the dogs sound asleep when I got home. I spent the time, until The Curmudgeon woke up, reading. It felt good to have some time for myself for a change.
No one suffered, The Curmudgeon and the pups had their dinners on time.
Pictures today.

Yay! I have started the vegetable garden.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yesterday G and I stopped at a favorite nursery and while I loaded up on some lovely vegetable plants, G found flowers to replace what the wet weather and bugs destroyed in her garden.
I now have six tomato plants, two pepper plants, a nice group of four basil plants, and four eggplants ready for the pots beside the house. Not bad for my first load. I also bought some Rudbeckia, lavender, and zinnias. In a week or so I’ll go to the larger nursery we usually go to and pick up more veggies for the back garden. I want a few more varieties of peppers, bush cucumbers, and some early eggplants.
I did plant some tomatoes and the basil in pots yesterday. Today I’ll finish the job and get the flowers planted in the pots on the front porch.
You all have a good one!

Reading the spam is a riot
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I am glad that even though Akismet marks something as spam, I still get a chance to read it.
You know it is spam when:
Someone comments that my page for comments on the Doggonedmysteries series has been an invaluable resource for their research. You know they didn’t read or even look at the post.
Someone writes that my post was brilliantly written, marvelously articulate and they are talking about a slide show, they didn’t look at the post.
Then there are the ones that go in the other direction and thoroughly insult you and your work. Most are poorly written and are easily spotted as ‘English is not even their third language.’
I find it disappointing when I check my page and there is no spam to read and give me a laugh. Yeah, I am weird.
You all have a good one!
