Afghan Donation ~ Radish Seeds ~ Whipped

I finished the ripple afghan, which will be donated to the family benefit.


Best I figure, it's value is about $100.00.  Maybe $80-100.00, so I hope they fetch a good amount for it a the auction.  



The one surviving bag of germinating radish seeds sprouted.
Looks like I break open pods this week.   I decided, for kicks and giggles, to plant them (inside) too.  I have no inkling as to which pile of pods are cherry belle or french breakfast.  Either way they'll both be kept separate and planted.  I'll see if I can grow some of the surviving indoors to do a double check on which seeds are which ones.

As you guessed, I am whipped.  Woke up with congestion a teensy bit.  Downed my Four Thieves Vinegar, and taking it easy today.  And the rest of the week.

Don't those healthy, green little seedings make you itch to get out in the garden?

Please, please do take care of yourself, Kristina. Your immune system has been fighting to get back up to snuff for more than a year now and you have to be careful. You've got a couple of strong girls in the house who can pick up the slack until you're 100% again. I know they're busy, but aren't you every single day of the year with all you do at home?

What's the family benefit for? Sorry you aren't feeling well...too much over the weekend. The radishes are looking good. My daffodils are up about 3 inches....Spring is on the way...very windy and warm here...typical Spring weather with rain and then sunshine and then more rain and sunshine. Today I'm cooking and baking and then back to deep cleaning.

Such a beautiful blanket, here's hoping for a successful auction and it goes for a lot more.
Mama Pea, those radish seeds have me definitely itching to get into the garden. Yeah, I'm taking it much slower this week. The weather is helping make sure too.
Sam I Am, the benefit is to help raise money to pay for a funeral and headstone. Our nephew's son (21) passed away late January.

Such a beautiful afghan! Inspires me to give a ripple afghan a try. Good way to use up all those leftover balls of yarn,
Vicki, it is a wonderful way to use up yarn from other projects. We love them. I just hope someone else does too.

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 . . .
