Tidbits

Hubby: "When is your birthday?"
Me: "Tomorrow."
Hubby:  " Oh Sh*t!"

That was Thursday night, ha ha!

My birthday morning excitement was getting up at 5:30am and packing Hubby's breakfast and lunch, making my own breakfast, running the dishwasher, feeding the animals, washing a pair of jeans, and making a tea infusion.

I visited Mom and took her a Mother's Day gift.  Hubby didn't have to work 2nd shift, but it was a rather boring birthday.  No flowers, no gifts, no cake or ice cream etc.  I know he's working a lot of hours, so I gave him a pass.  As for the older kids, I'm lucky to get a "Happy Birthday" text message.

Hubby and our Youngest daughter later took me out for a steak dinner, which was pretty good.

I checked on the hens early.  Move in day was Thursday night and it was the battle of "Who is large and in charge."  I went to make sure they were all okay.  They are skiddish, but they'll just have to put the big girl panties on and fight for the food and water.


The slackers are finally giving me some blue-green eggs.  Haven't gotten any for months.

Happy Belated Birthday! Mine was just past a week and a half ago and I find no big celebration is just fine with me. Give me a day closeted in my quilt room and I'm happy! Hubby and daughter did take me out to eat at a local restaurant I prefer, if we do eat out. Their food was very good, mine was not. Doesn't seem fair, does it? Oh well, I did get some time in my quilt room. Hope you squeak in some time soon for yourself.

Happy Birthday!!! :) Hope your steak dinner was a good one! I love the colour of the eggs, very spring-like! :)
Thanks Mama Pea, the steak was good but the other sides were super salty. Seems that way when we do eat out.
Happy Birthday! Many returns of the day.

Happy Birthday! I've had a few birthdays that were kinda forgotten, but that's okay. I know how much my daughters love me. :) My youngest daughter never forgets a special occasion. My oldest daughter always has something big and important going on. Hope you have a happy Mother's Day tomorrow. My youngest daughter met me this morning and we shopped half the day and then had pizza for lunch. That was a good Mother's Day gift. Those eggs look just like the little bunch I gathered today.

Happy Mother's Day, Kristina. Hopefully, you have had your feet up all day and relaxing! Mary in GA

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 . . .
