"How does my garden grow?"

When I moved to the retirement village here 5 years ago, my wonderful children brought starts of all my plants from my home of 30 years and set me up a little pond to remind me of the one I had. Last fall it develeoped a leak, so this spring I decided to fill it with soil and see if I could have a little patio vegetable garden. I have a tomato plant, cucumber, sweet basil and eggplant in it. I think I am going to try poking holds around the outer edge and planting a beet seed in each hole and see if they will grow. My passion for flowers and gardening is only outranked by my love of cardmaking and scrapbooking. I will try to keep you updated on "how does my garden grow". Bye

Laundry day

This might explain why doing the laundry at my house is a challenge. Coleman, the cat, thinks the laundry cart is for him to sleep in. He isnt picky, dirty or clean, he sleeps on them all, but he does prefer them warm out of the dryer. One of these days I will tell you the story of Coleman and how he came to live with me.

Another beautiful day

Well it is Tuesday afternoon and another beautiful day. I didnt get anymore of the challenges from this weekend done, but I am so proud of the fact that I did complete 6 of them. I got so many good ideas from everyone, I just couldnt believe the creativity and ideas people had and used. They gave me so much food for thought, and I hope to do the other challenges even though the contest is over. I have some good ideas sketched out, now just have to make them. See ya

Off to Bed

Well I feel like I have accomplished alot today. I completed 4 more of the challenges, now have 6 out of 12 done. Have til midnight tomorrow night to finish them all. Dont know if I will be able to do it but I sure have enjoyed myself. Think we need to do NSD once a month, just to keep my juices flowing. Coleman, the Cat is a little upset with me, he cant understand why he cant help make the cards too. So I have everything packed up, put away, and now it is time for he and I to head off to bed. Sleep tight everyone. See ya.
