Saturday morning

Good Morning Everyone!

Well I got the next 4 days off! Can't wait to see what all I got done, and I am going to try very hard to blog it here to share with everyone!

I am starting this day out by doing a load of laundry and making the kids pick up their mess they made last night! Hubby and I went to Fargo ND yesterday after I got off of work and took in an event at the Harley Davidson Shop in West Fargo actually, was a lot of fun, registered to win tons of prizes being given away, (which he didnt win) but they served some good BBQ pork sandwhiches, potato chips and baked beans.
I ended up haveing to buy a sweat shirt to stay dry in the rain they got.

We got home about 1:30 this morning to a lightening show, we had some rain..just enough so I can't run the tiller in the garden this morning (grrrr) the weeds are so horrible!!

Any how off to get some stuff done and will catch up with you all later...for now gonna read some blogs and go get a few things done.


Till later ~

Wednesdays Wisdom

Hey gang, sorry I have not been on blog land much at all this past week. Between work, kids, Oh over time in work, gardening, re-planted a few things that did not come up, mowing yard, laundry and the list could go on and on forever...By the time my old body hit the house I was so tired could not munster up the energy left in me to even start the computer.

But today I have a day off so I am playing catch up in all the blogs I like to look at and read,you guys are all so awesome and really truely inspiring! I love this! Even though not a big time blogger actually pretty new at it I am still haveing fun at it!

I have been creating a bit, bought a new easle type book to create from the scrapbook store, I decided to create that into flowers and gardening type stuff, Will try to take a photo and share as that progresses...I have also been working on afew art trading cards and just about go the little blue iris quilt completed! Perhaps I will deliver that to its new owner in the next couple of weeks.

I sit here looking over the home and seeing what has been neglected this week due to work and long days and short nights and I am feeling a tug of war going on...play in blog land or go clean and catch up!......well perhaps this is where I meet in the middle,...finish out this post and then go clean a while and then take some pictures to share and come back for more blogging! YES...sounds like agreat plan to me! See you all later on~

Awe yes...good day for Wednesday Wisdom!

A GOOD DAYS WORK

Well it is my only day off and all I could think about was sleeping in...but alarm went off at 6 and I managed to plunder to the kitchen to make a hot pot of java,...no java means bad day!

I managed to squeeze in 6 loads of laundry today...got them all hung out! was a whopping 90 degrees...stuff was drying as fast as I could get the next load out..

At noon I decided to go mow...put on a tank top and pulled up the old gardening shorts..spread on some sun screen and hit the mower...2.5 hrs later I have a great looking yard!

I made my way to the garden to see how that was looking and watered it, hoed what needed to be and tilled a fresh new area.

Tossed on some supper,...made my way to our bedroom and did a fast cleaning job which was long over due!

Completed a dish rag today that I have been crocheting as I sat on the patio with a glass of iced tea basking in the rays....


Tonight my daughter had her Spring band concert. They did such a great job!

Any how thats about all thats been happening here, busy but uneventful!

Hope you all have a good week!

Reba~

Looks of Spring!

This is what it looks like on a good day looking up into my yard

While back I shared a photo of Duane digging, now hes busy planting that same field tonight!

New buds on one of the trees I planted last year!

this is the flower bed of perinneals by my garage I planted last yr and wow they are coming full fold now!

One little tulip by my garden angel!

Watermelons are up.....got a total of 5 hills

Cant see them too well but the onions are up too! So fun to watch this!

I hope as the spring and summer progress I can share my garden and yard with all that care to come and see...such a great hobby and I feel its a great way to connect with the earth and some how in a small way give back!

Until next time...........................

Still at it.

Well today was not as productive as I was thinking it was gonna be!

I did get my desk and sewing machines moved today as well as the cutting table!..... Oh so tempting to sit down and work on a project instead of sorting and cleaning....and more sorting LOL...What a way to clean out!

I do have 3 boxes (smaller ones) I am going to donate to an elderly lady in the community that makes quilts, she uses mostly used clothing due to a fixed income so I always save my stash for her or buy on a good sale and share with her a few times a year. Makes me feel good when I see her smile.....gratitude!! I wish more people had that!

We had some rain last night so I did not get any more garden in but hope by end of the week most of it will be in. HOWEVER I did start my tomatoes and peppers in small pots... along with 2 zuccinni.

Nothing else really happening here, Hubby is busy picking rocks and waiting for the land to dry out so he can do beans and corn,

Our oldest dauther is moving out of dorm life for the summer, she rented a small apartment about 10 miles from her work, and I cant wait to go see it.....shes got to wait a couple weeks before she moves in......so been busy looking for stuff around here to assist her in setting up small household till school resumes...

Never a dull moment is there!

till next time~

Sunday

Well a busy day again it seems, I went to work, ended up doing 11 massages....Got home and cleaned out 2 of my 5 flower beds.

Got the garden tilled up...and tossed the potatoes and onions in the ground...hope to do more tomorrow, I did 25 potatoes. hope that will get us through till early spring next yr!

I also pulled out old weeds and sticks from the tree line today, looks so much better!

I spent about an hr working on my embroidery...it is beginning to take shape.

Came in and grabbed a fast shower and even tossed the dog in the bath one dirty little pooch!

Popped some tylenol as I know I am going to pay for this tomorrow!

Off to bed...hope you all had a grewat weekend!

Summer Day

Today was HOT. Almost 72 degrees...as I had the day off I pondered in Montevideo walking the graveyard seeking a stone for someone else in the genealogy world after 2 hrs of seeking...and no register to go by I went to one of the funeral homes and they had no record....the lady called historical society and also another funeral home and no records. I went to the court house and looked up their death record and it was there, but no record on the place of buriel.....I thought this was odd~....

Any how... I had anotehr business mtg today and an offer was made so now I need to push a pencil and see if I can make this work..or just do Reiki within the home. Small artical in the Willmar paper on it made my day!!

I bought some fun stuff in the arts area today .....some new fibers, and some papers, WOOOHOOO and a new book.....now if I can find the right stuff I hope to create some 3 D jewelry but got to find the right stablizer.

Any how....got to hit the hay and back to work tomorrow.

Have a good weekend gang!
