Sit'n on the porch

LOST MY GLASSES in the garden,,,
I have gone over everything and every step- looked even in the fridge and trash----DH looked, they are here somewhere, but I cant find them
got the corn and green beans pulled up and some onions, pulled the wagon to the porch,, talked to DD#4 on the phone,,, it started raining, ,, raked up the garden bed , pulled up the fence posts that healed up the pea and green bean trellis up, raked some more----and it and noticed I didnt have my glasses?????????
hauled it all the vegetation down to the compost looked all through it, no glasses.


I will find them some day




I WAS! going to plow but spent to much time looking for m glasses and now I am done , tired,

Ooo... sorry about your glasses. Your place is beautiful!!

We had yet another gully-washer, last night. Lots of small branches and debris to clean up. The darned storm took out my 2 prettiest sunflowers, too.
I can't remember a wetter summer. Mushrooms scattered in the yard. Blossoms knocked of the plants before fruits can set... blossom-end-rot... cracked tomatoes.

My sugar maple is dropping a few, colored leaves. Too early

defiantly a shower and I have to wear a breathing mask, the dust is bad

Edited my post. Respirator, not ventilator! Silly me!

7am,, getting my dirt work cloths on and heading outside

Just love the pictures of your new place! Everything is so spacious and neat @Grandmas Coop

Ventilator, goggles, leaf Blower and a follow-up shower.

Edit: OMGosh, I said ventilator. I meant RESPIRATOR! Good gracious. Well.... I knew what I meant.
I have a couple of these respirators for my glasswork. I now keep one in the cook for cleaning the roost trays and the dusty coop.

Garden hose with wide, strong spray in the run/pen (the flooring is sand and dries very quickly), while the girls are in the yard, free-ranging

He is lucky not to have his speech affected.

With DH it was gone both times and took a very long time to come back and still is quite slurry.
Severe stroke #1 affected his right side leg, arm, face etc, and severe stroke #2 his left side leg, arm, face etc. He could not even eat or drink without aspirating and choking. It was really scary and left him frustrated.
But we worked on it every day and he is much better now, although there were days he was fed up and did not want to continue therapy anymore.
We bought a rowing machine for him to get some strength back and he liked using it.

Some days are better than others.

I now how you feel.

There are times I just want to walk out, knowing that I won't and couldn't.

We've been married for 54 years and we married for life.

We have good days and bad days.
