Learning the Blog buisness

Well I have learned two things about blogging. Number one above all else, be sure you are logged in before trying to post. Second, don't try to write a blog while downloading photos.  When the photos finish logging they pop right up and there goes your blogging.

So that said, I will try to begin again. Third time is a charm they say.  Yes I am logged in and no I am not downloading  pictures.  Finished that task earlier today.

We had some wonderful rain last evening and I could see the flowers smiling up at me from my perch on the ramp deck.  We got around an inch in my yard. The weather channel can't keep up with me as they said only maybe a quarter of an inch fell.  So much for where they read the water gauge, at our airport I think.

I was supposed to work in the flower beds in the am but remembered tomorrow is a day to visit my friend Ann.  She has found a new garden shop and even better has a swimming pool in her back yard.  Great house, great pool, great friends and a new garden shop. What more can you ask?

Just came home from visiting my Son and his family.  They now live just up the street from me and it is realy nice to be able to see them often.  He baked some of his now famous Banana Bread.  He takes it to work and shares it with his employees.  And that is just why I went for this visit, to eat some BB at his house and then bring some home to my man Don. When I arrived he was mowing their small lot.  He had accepted an older gas mower from us earlier in the year and it just died. He now has a rechargeable lawnmower.  Great little machine, good warrenty and much cleaner that the gas/oil machine. He is happy.  Frankly, when my selfpropelled gas mower goes, I will consider a rechargeable mower.  At least my next gas mower will not be a string puller, this ole gal is getting' too old to pull on that little buddy.  It will have a key or a button.

We were looking at pictures on his computer of the kids, Kelz and Bri, and my how they have grown.  Even found pictures of He and wife on their wedding day and honeymoon.  What babes they were. When I said that he says, what do you mean? we were married.  One day he will look at those pictures and say just what I said. What babes we were.

Do any of you have greenhouses? I have a friend, Barb, that has a pretty big one and began this year to grow annuals from plugs to sell.  She has had good response from the smaller garden shops in town. So you can make money to pay for that greenhouse if you really want to. Barb and I are part of the Master Gardener Assn. and our Extention Agent helped her get set up and gave her tips on how to keep the greenhouse going. Look for pictures in the Photo Albums.

Also met this past week a couple that really shares their gardening skills. All over the United States and Canada.  They are very interesting to visit. They belong to the Birds and Blooms website and share seeds, plants and love of growing things through that medium.  They have had people from all over the US and Canada visit them. A few have even come in the big campers, set up in their driveway and stay a few days.  Some only come to visit for the day. If just sounded so exciting. Look for pictures in the Photo Albums of their greenhouse/property.

Although I have had regular coffee this evening I am ready to get some rest. So goodnight and have a good day tomorrow.  More To Come Later.
