Seeding ~ Finished! ~ Filling my Cup

I spent another hour seeding pods.  Don't worry, I won't be posting this daily, ha ha!  It was a long, quiet day, so I seeded some more.  One daughter, that's in high school, stayed after school for her musical practice and was there until 9pm.  The other daughter babysat for my brother, then had a date (I was the last to know).  So, it was me and the dogs for the day.



I was thus far on this project by the end of Tuesday.



However, by the end of Wednesday, I not only finished it, but finished a set of coasters too.  I really didn't think I'd get them done.  I'm donating the set to the auction.  Harley Davidson won't need to worry.  These were made to donate.  I made myself a cup coaster too, but that's all that will be getting made. 

I'm whipped.  Tired.  Fingers are sore from projects combined with chores.  Eyes bug-eyed and strained.  Teas will be made, a day off will be taken, and feet up.  Yes-siree.  This gal has earned it.



I took a long break, filled the woodstove with wood, and poured me a glass of energy packed, organic green tea with freshly squeezed lime juice.  I added a swig of homemade ginger-ale too, just for the heck of it.

Guess what?  Woke up to remember that Hubby never picked up coffee.  Ugh.  Yeah.

Sometimes a day by yourself can be great, can't it? I think you need to invent a radish pod seed shelling machine!

If we woke to a morning without coffee in the house, my husband would be in sad shape. (And so would I for letting our stash run out!!) ;o}

OMG! No coffee for your morning? It's inhumane! As always, your handwork is wonderful! I'm not surprised your fingers are sore.
Rain said…
Oh no! That's not something I'd like to wake up to lol...I love seeing your seeds...I always wondered how one does that. So far I use seeds from catalogs but down the line I'd love to harvest my own too.
Oh Mama Pea, I don't think he'll forget it next time. Ha ha! I would have gotten it myelf, but alas the rain has not stopped to repair the brakes on my car (and the garage is not even close to being cleaned out. And...and..I need a dry day to haul all the stuff out of there to the thrift store. Sigh...I am in the boonies too.
Susan, I'll get to see if all my goodies fetch a good donation for the nephew's funeral costs this weekend. I hope they raise enough to pay for all of it. Yeah, no coffee is not a good thing.
Rain, it was the very first year our radishes went to seed. Now if my beets and carrots would, I'd be gaining a bit next year.

I am hoping that the auction goes well and that you get a good price for all your wonderful donations. I will be thinking about you, take care.

Oh heck toss caution to the wind and take two days! A day without morning coffee is never good. Hope you weren't too tough on him as he paid dearly without the cuppa Joe I imagine.

Cute idea for the raffle donation and nicely executed.
Goatldi, thanks for the push for taking another day off, and thanks for the compliments.
Oh, I really need to get started. Good for you. B

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 . . .
