The Days of My Life

Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans. ~Marcelene Cox

So.. Saturday. DH was feeling better (we'd dosed him Thursday and Friday with zinc, vitamin C, Echinacea, and oregano oil) but it was far too windy to go boating. So he stayed home and puttered. The lawn is cut, the vehicles washed and he hung out with some family who dropped by unexpectedly.

I put in my veggie garden. I think I may have overdone it a bit. It doesn't look like I did, but when stuff starts to grow? Oh boy.

Here's what it looks like now:


I planted peas and potatoes and cucumbers (along with my monster rhubarb plant):



Tomatoes and corn:


Peppers and squash:



And here is DD's private garden with one of everything except squash (because it takes up too much room):


Told you it didn't look like much. But for those of you who garden, you'll understand when I give you numbers...

18 Tomato plants
12 Pepper Plants
16 Cucumber Plants
8 Potato Plants
20 Corn plants
3 Squash Plants
25 - 30 pea plants

All in a fairly small area.

Wish me luck.

It wasn't all work, tho. DD found a friend (that's her releasing him back where she found him... she'd carried him around a while first):


Here's a closer look (I think he was having a drink in the dribbles from the faucet):


Isn't he cute? We found a bunch of little toads hopping around this afternoon. They must be waking up.

I got another good review for "One Love For Liv" from the Gotta Write Network. Kathy rated it 4/5 and said, in part:

One Love For Liv was an enjoyable romance of a heroine completely out of her element, and a hero who is, at heart, a hero. Liv has absolutely no concept of how to perform the job assignments she received from Mike, so she has ingenious alternatives - primarily to have others do it for her. I particularly loved when she went grocery shopping. Mike knows that it is risky to trust a stranger, but he can't not help someone in need. It is just an innate reaction, just as he kept the ferret that was left in his apartment, and brings leftovers for the local stray dog. I simply adored Mike.

So far, so good!

You Are Cowboy Boots

This doesn't mean you're country, just funky. You've got a ton of attitude and confidence. You're unique, expressive, and even a little bit wacky. You wear whatever you feel like – and you have your own sense of style. You are straight shooting and honest. You tell people how it is. Low maintenance and free wheeling, you're always up for an adventure. You should live: Where you can at least get to wide open spaces You should work: In a job that allows you to take change

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

What is it with these quizzes saying I like change and adventure?? I don't, really, I don't. And, I don't think I'm high maintenance. Otherwise, though? Pretty close.
