Note Unburied

The rainy day advantage was up for me once again.  I dug through a pile that was building and building.  In the process, I found a note written to me.

I know Mother's Day has passed by, but I wanted to share this note I got from my 18 year-old daughter.   This one was pretty amazing (not that the other cards and notes were not).

She wrote it in pencil, so I hope you can read it.  I darkened the print as best I could too.








The all-day rain we got yesterday, finally stopped some time during the night.  The highway flooded, just as we suspected, flowing more water in our direction.

I almost thought I was at the island, the rain sounded like waves of water crashing throughout the day.

We have tadpoles growing in staying water.  The kids thought that was just way cool.  As for me?  It painted a picture of the demise of our garden bounty this season.

I may need a row boat to get to the barn and garden today.  Then again, my garden may have floated off to lands unknown too.  Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and all of the holiday weekend. 

Have a wonderful Sunday.  

I'm going to find a dry chair and sit on the porch in my pajamas.

Your daughter's note? Priceless.

Oh, Kristina, I know how much you wanted a bountiful garden this year so you could have plenty of food put by for the coming winter. I feel so badly that your rain and flooding are causing so much more work for you. Add in the frustration of it all and I think you need to get in as much porch time (in a dry chair) as you can. Sending hugs.
Mama Pea, I get so depressed every day it rains. The wind did some damage, so today I am really down. I picked shell peas, but sank 3 inches into the garden every step I took. I'm trying to be positive, but all that work.....

I have no hopes of reading that letter. My eyes are too bad. I'm sure it's very sweet though, and what a sweet child to take the time to write all that down too. It's a treasure of the heart, for a heart.

As for the rain, ours has calmed down a bit. We're expecting more in the next few days, but the storms that accompany it are sometimes frightening, especially for the critters.

God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
