If you thought I would have Faith, Hope, Peace and Love finished by the end of last week (or whenever I said I wanted to have it finished), it didn't happen. I'm am hoping to have it finished by Sunday. Surely I can do that. This time of year, rain is my friend. The garden needs rain and it keeps me inside. Yesterday I had gone out several times and Vince said "What are you doing out there?" I ...
This and That
I was afraid to look to see when was the last time I had posted but it hasn't been that long ago. I posted on the 20th, and until 12 minutes ago, it was the 23rd. I was sick for 1-1/2 days and, for anyone who knows me, sick means let me sleep 24/7. Sunday afternoon Vince came downstairs and I was asleep sitting on the sofa. I can never sleep sitting up. I remember thinking I was really tired . ...
A Great Saturday
This morning Chad, Addie and Nicole drove down. Chad drove his pickup and trailer and his purpose for coming was to help Vince clean out our rented storage units. There are two left to be cleaned out but they are double size - 10 x 20 I think.

We went to Ghetto Tacos on Tuesday but now I want to go tomorrow. We won't but maybe one day next week! I like the people who own Ghetto Tacos . . the owners of the other restaurants are probably nice too but I have never been ...
Lilac and Hibiscus Jelly
Note: When making lilac jelly, make sure you're getting blossoms from a "common lilac" as other types, such as the Persian lilac, are said to not be safe for consumption by humans or pets. Yesterday morning I started with the lilacs that had been steeping overnight and made lilac jelly. The recipe I use for pretty much any jelly that his juice or infused liquid is 4 cups of the juice/infused ...
Early to Bed
Last night was the first time in many, many years that I was in bed before 10 p.m. I was so tired but we had a busy day. I started out early working in the garden - did a bit of weed eating, fertilizing, pulling weeds. Rita had her annual exam and shots so we had to be at the vet at 9:30. Did that, needed a few things from Aldi so we ran to Carthage ate lunch a the hospital, then bought groceries, ...
