If you are a fellow tomato lover we'll turn you into a horticulture expert Sir!

Tomato plants march to a different drummer than lots of other veggies and plants and they are temperamental little boogers. Hybrids keep weeding out the 100s of diseases and watering issues of our lovely tomatoes.

Welcome to our little tomato family

And it looks like the 3 of us are or are going to get slammed again. We were doing that green hazy sky at dusk. Creepity.

And slammed, we were. Ugh.

I need to get back outside today and do some more yard work. A few Hostas need to get planted somewhere, and soon as I decide where. I also should put down some more grass see around our new gas grill. That area is just too much dirt. A lot of small jobs, but I need to get at them. We are expecting temps in the 80's today.

Yesterday, when I was out shopping, we stopped at the vitamin store, and I picked me up some "B" vitamins and some fish oil. The B vitamins are for my Trigeminal Neuralgia, and fish oil is for my elevated cholesterol. I have no problem remembering my prescribed drugs, but I forget about these vitamins/supplements that I should be taking.

Well that was fun! I was asleep. Got up and took a walk after the calm.
River is just up to the bank and just leaching onto the riverwalk. Wooba.
Will be interesting to see what dawn will bring as the water comes on down the river. Joy Joy. Not thinking I'll need to water the little plants (if they haven;t drowned)

Yep had a nap. If @MinnieM123 was in town she could keep me company.
Dang! That was a storm.

DD was out late for 8th grade outing. They had a great time, and I figured she was wound up anyway, and wouldn't sleep. Little did I know it would all go crazy around 11, when we were all trying to get to sleep. Sounded like a hurricane at times.

This morning, just up the street the village has it blocked off. Taking care of a big tree that didn't make it. Too many large branches and split trees. And I have too much to do, and I just want to go to sleep.

 

[MouseDreaming]

Right now it's snowing like crazy. Up to a foot of snow. I can't wait to board a plane, even if it's United!

Sympathy like. Cold rolling in here tomorrow. But, please keep the snow there.

I'll give it to any takers. Maybe @MinnieM123, would like all of it!

 

[betty rose]

Any Pic's?

No , no camera around. Hubby forgot about his phone. I would have loved to have a picture, though.

 

[betty rose]

Keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, we are adjusting to the new arrangement. Life goes on.

I remember when my kids were small it was overwhelming, we use to go for a little over two weeks. It was on me to pack a family of 4, clean house, get dogs to kennel etc etc. By the time I did all the wash, packing for 4, purchasing what I needed, shipping what was necessary I remember one trip being so tired after work and starting up with vacation duties thinking this is it I'm done. Ha! My love of Disney didn't let that happen but it is sometime overwhelming to have all those lists for a family.

I do less each year. After camping, and packing all the stuff , like pots and pans, and food to cook. I got over that part really quickly. Sitting by the campfire, roasting marshmallows, somehow made it all worth it. Now, I just pack for myself and go to the airport, then to the hotel. So much easier.

 

[betty rose]

Woot! Live Life Woman! Glad you had a wondrous Mothers Day.

Thanks! I hope you had a nice Mothers Day too. Now, it's on to Disney.

 

[betty rose]

Yes we do

I agree!

 

[betty rose]

Good morning it's going to be almost glorious today and the pool will be open for a couple of hours and best of all only for 21+

I'm getting ready to get out my snow shovel.

Went to Lowes this AM. They had no more cucumbers or zucchini left. Wondering if they all died from the frost? SIL said she will start them from seed for us. Loads of strawberries in the garden though. Picked a bunch yesterday and today.

Welcome to our little tomato family

Yummy! I came home with a box of Compari Tomatoes , half of them are already gone. Hubby doesn't eat tomatoes....I guess I got carried away.

 

[betty rose]

Yeah I am wondering that too. My Dads funeral was back to back with Fathers Day so it kinda got lumped together, so this year will be a first though not technically. We shall see.

I will think about you, this Father's Day. The first years of all holiday's seemed empty without everyone being alive.

 

[betty rose]

It will be 92 in WDW tomorrow. That is where our @MinnieM123 is right now
Jealous I am.

Me too. I'm hoping that it cools down a little. I like the mid to high 80's.

I do not camp. My kids don't either never have.

And I don't miss packing everyone. I don't even like packing for myself.

Me either, I feel responsible for forgetting things. I'll do without, or a trip to WalMart.

 

[betty rose]

Out for me today. I never got around to looking at menu's. We have Morimoto for dinner, San Angel lunch, Planet Hollywood dinner, Rainforest lunch, Mama Melrose lunch, Spice RoadTable for Dinner, Nine Dragons lunch, Tutto Italia for dinner, and Boma for breakfast. The menu's should keep me busy for a while, so I don't look outside to see the snow! Have a great day everyone!

No calculator!?!?! You are mean!

SWG: single handedly fighting calculator dependency.

In all seriousness, I let him use itif it's actually needed or if not using it would mean mistakes. But he doesn't need it for multiplying 2x3.
