I am good, how are you?
I have my fiery little 2 year old again today. She’s eating so I have time for a little BYC.

Have fun with the 2 year old!

Good morning folks


Kelsey, I'm so sorry Sometimes people make a choice and all we can do is honor their choice. It was a Friday evening in the spring of 2001, I had just got home from work when the phone rang. It was Mom and Dad. Dad was back in the hospital, when he was admitted they offered life support and he accepted, which negated his living will. He wanted to be taken off life support, Mom couldn't bring herself to sign the order, so she abdicated her role and the medical power of attorney fell to me. They wanted me to fax the order to the hospital. I told him that I wasn't going to do this long distance, but I would take the Sunday train and be there Monday morning. If he could look me in the eye and tell me that's what he wants, I would sign the order. I was spared, he passed on Saturday afternoon. I take comfort in knowing that he was done, but it took a long time to get over the pain of him being gone.

Good morning Debby, have a great day

Thanks so much Bob! I’m sorry about your dad.

Morning Bob, you're spot on about it taking a long time to get used to a loved one being gone. And sometimes when you think you're over it, it hits you all over again. Sorry for the loss of your dad.

Yup, that’s exactly it so far for me too. I know it’s only been two weeks but at first I cried a bunch and then I was really numb/not really feeling anything and thought there was something wrong with me or something. or that I was “over it.” And then one little thing made me think of her and I was right back to feeling again.

And even at the store one day they had those little carpet square stair tread things that for some reason upset me, I guess cause she had always wanted to put carpet on the stairs and it said in giant letters prevents falls accidents and injuries so

And then they also had shoes that looked like just her style that she would have loved.

I got what I needed and got out of that store fast.

But the dumbest, tiniest little things upset me lately.

Good morning, All.

Kelsey, words fail me.

Sad to here Dawg .

Thank you both!

but yet he’s been a rock.

On the outside. Give him because he needs them.

We got a frost last night. We’ve covered everything for the last week. My tomatoes need major sunshine and heat if they survived last night.

I can't believe you plant tomatoes this early! I won't put them in until June 1 and even then can be taking a chance. Same with peppers.

And then one little thing made me think of her and I was right back to feeling again.

Yep and those little things sneak up on you.

They survived. I apparently enjoy making more work for myself.

Glad to hear yours have made it DMC!

Most of my plants are frozen. I was covering them up at night but I guess overnight temps in the 20's is expecting too much.

It’s 36 right now. We’ll see how they did in the night as I did not cover them.
You are still a bit on the chilly side!

Good morning DMC! How did your day with the little red headed girl go?

We're warming up some now so if things still look ok in about a week, I'm going to get more plants. I don't want to wait too long or everything will be sold out.
