Jodi, I know. It's crazy with all this spring cleaning to do right now. I got most of it done. I hope you have a great week too.

I was reading your wishlist on the sidebar - it looks pretty much the same as mine! Hubby gave me a voucher to build a greenhouse for my birthday nine months ago. Hopefully one day! Looks like a busy week - hope you have a lovely Easter.

How nice to have a beautiful flower blooming! I was hoping for some Easter flowers, but this year, I don't know what's going on with the long winter. I'll settle for Easter basil lol!

My hyacinths have come and gone already but oh how I love their smell! I'm like Sherry; it brings back memories of Easter's when I was young and back in my hometown growing up. Smells can trigger powerful memories.

Rain, until I get a handle on the moles in our area, I cannot replant tulips and I really miss having them. I need to wait for my elderberry trees to grow, trim a few branches and stuff them into the mole tunnels (I read it will get rid of them). This spring I only saw one mole tunnel so I hope by sticking bits of chewing gum in them last year got rid of most of them.

Sam I Am, every time my lilac blooms, I bring some inside. It reminds me of my one Grandmother. She always brought us some for the house.

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 . . .
