Computer problems

I have missed reading the blogs sooooooo very much! The storms rolled through and my internet has been off and on for two weeks now. Had the cable company out from 2pm until 10:30pm and then problems until 11:30pm. But praise be..I finally have it all working.

Found 2 watermellon plants in my flower bed.  Basset crunched one. But moved the other one. Hope the little darling makes it. I haven't grown watermelon in years. This will be fun to watch if it lives through the transplant!

Well, is late now and have caught up on how well everyone's gardening is going.  Everyone have a Great Memorial Week-end. My Hubby will celebrate on Monday as he is a Vietnam Vet. I know he is not alone in all the guys and gals that were wounded over there and other conflicts that have plagued our people with wars. My heart goes out to them all.

Green Beans are up!!!!

I read the forums and decided to plant pole beans along my wooden fence. They are up and look so pretty. Had to put fencing around them to keep my big ole Bassets from stepping on them. I took some cuttings earlier this sping of red tip shrubs and they are looking good. I put out some okra between them. They haven't sprouted yet but I can barely see the dirt rising. My spaghetti squash is trailing along the flower bed filling in all the bare spots. I am so excited. I can't wait to wrap one of those babies up in foil for a good meal :)...

I lost a dear friend last week. It has been a very busy time around here. Her loss has devasted her son that is my daughter's fiance.

Got to get busy in the house now. It has gotten really hot outdoors.

Happy Gardening to you all

Sad to hear about Dottie Rambo

I was delighted to see my youngest daughter and my two youngest granddaughters today. They brought me the most wonderful card I could ever dream of having! They visited with me for awhile. Also gave me a really cte purse with a dog on it. I just love those kids. She has always been such a delight to me. She knows just how to fill my heart up with all her love.

A dear friend of my passed away this week so off to the funeral home I went to pay my condolences to the family. She was to be 83 years of age on the 29th of this month.

I was so sorry to hear about the accident and sudden death of Dotty Rambo. Oh what a wonderful song writer she was. Such a talent. I will miss her.

I want to wish all of you a Happy Day.. First year without my mom. This is kinda hard but I know she is having a well deserved restfull day filled with beauty.

I planted geen beans and okra yesterday. Went to my hubby's company fish fry and really enjoyed the fellowship and the food was great.

Hope all are safe and take this day to just relax and enjoy the surroundings.

I planted some Poppy seed I purchased at Walmart. Then this lady told me it is against the law to plant them. Does anyone know if this is true?
