back in the saddle again

Up until now I've just had no motivation to be out in the yard, helping or not. But, I finally broke the cycle a few days ago, which is probley good since I was greeted by an array of incredible weeds.It felt good to be on Baby again and out in the fresh air.(I wore a coat, which tells you summer hasn't quite arrived yet) It is warming up. So, baby and I are cutting the grass and I decided to try and get under the swing , which ended up not being a very good idea! I suddenly paniced as baby and I kept going, knocking the swing over , finally stalling on top of the seat. I yelled at my manly man, "I've had an accident", wrong thing to say as he came running from the woods. "No, no I'm fine but, I can't get baby off the swing". I think he was relieved because I'm always getting hurt out in the yard. So, my wonderful swing is going to the dump tomorrow. It was the final blow , eating the seat up with the mower. We've had it probley seven years and I just can't get it clean anymore. I'll replace it, and maybe take better care of this one??
Much to my manly man's chagrin I filled the sprayer up with weed killer and made the rounds. Still lots of work to do but, it'll look  better for cousin camp next week. Oh, my gosh did I say next week! Got to get busy on the Indian dresses! My manly man's in charge of making the moccasin's but, he doesn't look any closer than me. Were both kinda last minute people.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
