    T Tuesday: seed starting edition

    March 17, 2015 - By 

    Good Morning! Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday.  T stands for Tuesday_200

    Lets keep our fingers crossed that my back stays in good shape now! Geesh that was a long haul. I apologize for not stopping by many, if any, blogs for the past week.

    Every year I start my seeds the week of St. Patrick’s Day.seed starting By the time we can safely plant outdoors, I’ll have nice size plants to set into the garden…or gardens as the case may be. My in-laws are graciously letting me plant in their garden again this year in addition to my two small garden plots.

    So what’s in those cups?

    • 3 variety of tomatoes
    • 2 variety of peppers
    • cucumbers
    • spaghetti squash

    I will also be starting some herbs in pots and sowing seeds directly into the gardens when the time comes. We love having fresh herbs and veggies with our meals…especially when they are straight from the garden!plant vigil

    Miss Gracie is keeping vigil over the seeds while watching the critters romp.

    I’m off to run a few errands, stop to see my knitting group then make a ton of phone calls to get our ducks in a row for Little J’s upcoming knee surgery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

    What are you doing today?

    T Tuesday: injury edition

    March 10, 2015 - By 

    I’m joining in very briefly today. That was not my original plan but my back had other ideas this morning. I’m off to the chiropractor as soon as he gets in. AGH! I don’t have time to be injured. I’m playing taxi cab for Little J who is on crutches. She will be having knee surgery as soon as they can get her scheduled. Poor thing.

    I’ll leave you with a photo of Gracie and I having “tea” together…IMG_0182

    T Tuesday: collage card edition

    March 3, 2015 - By 

    I totally missed T stands for Tuesday last week. T stands for Tuesday_200I can’t even remember what I was doing other than not being on my computer.

    I do know what I was obsessively making on Thursday though…collage card

    I turned on some music, grabbed my scraps and began piecing together collages. I think I was inspired to make more after writing an article about my process. I’ll give you more of a heads up on that when it’s about to be published. 🙂 Honestly I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say about it until it comes out so that’s all I’m saying for now.

    I’m such a tease…I know.

    Today we are expecting a snow storm but we haven’t seen a flake so far. If it’s as bad as they say, Little J’s concert may be postponed tonight. In the mean time I’ll be working around the house. Exciting, huh?!?

    So…what are you doing today?
