Random Tidbits


Organic gum?  We gave this brand a taste test.  It's good at first, but doesn't last long. It gets hard to chew too quickly.  It's gmo free, made in the USA, all natural flavors etc.  It is a bit over $2.00 and I counted 29 pieces inside.  It's tasty, but expensive for how long it lasts.

I've been working in my herb garden, weeding and getting it ready for planting.  I uncovered my cilantro, and parsley, so no replanting needed for those.  It will take me a few more days (or more) to get it spiffed up again.

 



Jesse (oldest dog) is being spoiled beyond belief by his master.  She baked him some blueberry oatmeal dog treats using some of our frozen blueberries and a 4 oz. jar of applesauce/blueberry baby food (organic).  



He loves them.  I borrowed this photo she took of him begging for anther one.  However, she isn't sharing them with my pups.  I'll be making something for them soon.


Jackson looking at me curiously.  Why?  While I was taking the photo, Dallas was busy trying to eat my sleeve, then the camera, then my hair.  Oh the joys of these cuties.

Sorry this is a bit out of focus.  I only had a few minutes to snap a photo, and he was back on it and on his way to work yesterday.  Just in time for spring weather.  Gas prices have gone up, so this will save him quite a bit on gas as well. Hubby is one happy man.  We have tons of work, so I don't know when I'll be getting a ride yet.  I joked to the kids, "muck boots by morning, biker boots by afternoon."  The kids think their father is having a mid-life crisis.  I just think he's finally doing something for himself. 

It may be Sunday, but good weather means work.  The garden needs a few more days to dry out before we can till it.  It's very wet here yet. I'll be checking it again today.  The recent snow did not hurt anything here.  Peach blossoms are back on, lilac as well, and my asparagus looks great.

We went camping in April last year but after that the rains fell, and fell and fell. We'll see what is in store for us this year.

Omigosh! That look on Jesse's face. Priceless! What a good boy.

I'm thinking your hubby probably has a pretty great look on his face, too, zooming off to work on his new acquisition. He's works long, hard hours (and a lot of 'em, it seems) so traveling the distance he does to and from work is now made a lot more enjoyable. As you say, just in time for good riding weather!
Mama Pea, I got my first bike ride today. Now I'm worried we won't get any work done this summer, ha ha!

hubby got himself his dream bike some years ago and most sundays he would be out on it, after a few years its wasnt really being used an he sold it before the move, got it out of his system now he wants a boat :-)
Dawn, I laughed at your comment, because I have a feeling that's how it will go with my Hubby. Bike then boat, ha ha!

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 . . .
