Keep your chin up and enjoy the day-

 To-day is Thursday, May 21st--I  missed blogging yesterday--almost to-day also--  but-- I AM HERE--LORDY BE EH?? --SO---  I must tell you all what is going-on---  Lord love a Duck eh?---

-Well, I'll tell you ----I AM TRYING  TO PLANT BUSHES ETC IN THE BACK YARD_-- GIL HAS BEEN BUILDING A HUGE PLANTER ACROSS THE BACK----nothing in it yet--eventually there will be--but--You see we had frost last night--so, anything planted would've been  hit with the frost and not survived-----  So, (FINALLY!) I can tell you why no early blog this AM--more reasons-- LOL 

Gil and I were at the local nursery--to get soil to fill up the planters----(No soil there, yet either)--- Guess I am just too early for this area--(sob sob!!!)--- a real challenge--

But--  I miss you all--so. here I sit blogging so I can see what is going on in your part of the world--????---

Did you know that Son#2  is back in Brazil--  eating away there and he sent pictures for you all--It does look good -----



                                        Below---"Words I wish I wrote!"

#1.--There is always a way----#2-Keep birthdays simple  #3.-Make much out of little  #4.Refuse to be negative  #5-Marriage is about communications   #6.Keep your ears open

Below--Son#4 Tim--- talking to Emma (Son #3's daughter)
                                    Below--Son #3 with Julie, his wife

                                        above----  Fred--  with one of our dogs

                                                    Above-Emma with Charlee
                        Above Son#4 with Heather, his wife --and their 2 children

I shall try VERY hard to get a blog written early to-morrow AM--I do miss you all--The yard can wait--right??-- Eventually  everything will get done---Mom used to always say, "Rome wasn't built in a day!"--Funny how that just popped into my head--must've been Mom ?? She must be listening--LOL---

So, if you are happy, clap your hands--Dance around the May Pole--(I think Mom said that also!)   Remember that most of the stuff you worry about, never happens--and that people who stay in the middle of the road, get run over-- When you do not know where you are going, any road will get you there--so, --Keep your chin up-- (Dad always told me that)--and get off of here and enjoy to-day--Hugs to you all--

    Good morning Lynda, I was so happy to see that you had blogged today. I checked several times yesterday and again early this morning. Sorry about your frost last night. Perhaps check a weather forecast for your area on the computer. Don't plant anything until you see an entire week of good weather. Plants can be expensive, and it would be a shame to lose everything because the weather was too cold. I like the look of Matt's meals, but especially his dinner. I hope your day goes well.

    It's Kathy. That food looks yummy! You son gets to eat all over the world! I'm sorry you had frost overnight but it's good that nothing was planted yet. Our weather has been all over the place too. One day it's 80, the next it's barely 40. Love all the memories too! My husband and I both have colds, it's not fun! Have a good rest of your day.

    Hi Lynda
    We miss you if you don't blog. You sound very busy with the giant planter but I'm afraid its still too cool up there. Nurseries here are starting to have sales as a lot of plants, bushes and trees were sold before Mother's day. I hope you aren't planning anything too elaborate that will need a lot of care as you do plan to move in a few years. Enjoy your new garden. It will get done.
    Take care

    Good afternoon, sis. This time when I checked there was a blog!

    In the midst of chores now, but I needed a break. That's what you are today...my break (besides my friend).

    Love the blasts and your wonderful, attractive close-knit family! And the German with Fred especially.

    You will enjoy getting your plants planted and hummingbirds!

    We have another inspection coming up...on my eldest son's birthday...the 28th.

    Upcoming in the US is our Memorial Day weekend. Banks, doctors and most stores will be closed. Everyone and their uncle will be barbequing, etc.

    Ok, dear, enough time has passed. I'd better get back to it.

    Hi Lynda! It’s sunny and 65 in Ohio with a nice breeze! Glad to see you today. It sounds like you have good planting plans when you get the dirt. I have two tomato plants going on in pots. My first ever. I shall see how this goes. I planted shrubs and flowers like I do every Spring. Have a great evening! Hugs!
