i got my gardening gloves, i love to see the bumble bees all around, and hearing the birds singing happily :) i got my garden digger tool, and the bag of organic soil, and ventured into the garden :) i did some nice weeding in the gardens today :) it's always nice, to freshen up the gardens :) i love working in the gardens, it's truly a passion i have, the garden work, working up a sweat, it's such nice exercising, and the joys of gardening is so rewarding :) i was doing so well, i worked by some of the garden fence areas in the sunflower field of hope and unfailing faith garden :) i loosened up the soil, i was then planting some string beans, and put nice organic soil over the beans :) We've had some amazing growing success in recent years, while planting Kentucky wonder pole string beans, alongside the fences in the gardens :) the plants love to wrap around the fences, and they grow wild! :) We've had so many nice string beans we've been blessed with in recent seasons, we've been able to freeze some string beans, and even have been able to give some to Taylynn's dad's parentsm her meme and pepe :) we love to share, and hoping for another awesome growing season :)

i got the watering hoses, my dad hooked up a 2nd hose, for our front yard gardens :) it's so nice! :) We're very happy to have 2 hoses now, that we can use, to water the gardens :)it makes it easier to make it around the yard, and gardens for tending the plants :) i gave the plants a really nice soaking with the water nourishment today :) in our front yard garden, i refilled our bird bath for the birds, and i also found some more garden surprises! :) we have many more nasturium dwarf jewel flowers sprouting, sunflowers, plus, our tiger lillies have began to grow stems! :) This is so cool, and so neat to see! :) The tiger lillies will be blossoming beautifully this upcoming summer season :) we've got lots going on in our yard, and gardens :) i was looking at our winesap apple tree earlier, i spotted an apple growing, and i know there's lots more too :) the fruit trees, raspberry pies, and grapevines, along with the strawberries are flourishing :)

Oh, my dear Chris!!! THOSE PLANTS ARE ROCK \'N BIG TIME!!! Everything looks FABULOUS!!! Healthy and thriving and ready to rock some GARDEN GOODIES!!! Love all of the goodies from HOLLY, too!!! You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful friend!!! So happy for you dear Chris...

I noticed today that my Elderberry is finally in BLOOM! I\'ll have to take some pics... It was great to get a little gardening done before our rain moved it. I was really happy, too, as I wasn\'t going to water as I should have. Mother Nature took over that job!!! Certainly still early for all of the seeds I planted. May add another pot, but maybe for CARROTS! I think I have seed for baby carrots too! The rain has had the pupz stuck in the house with me. WooWoo is always right at my feet. She\'s afraid of the rain and hates to be outside when it rains--I think it was from her time on the run...

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everybody in cT!!! Have a wonderful peaceful evening!!! xoxoxo Cj

Oooh, Amytiville Horror! That\'s a classic :) I remember it scared the whatsits out of me when I was a kid.
Oh, I just heard a 747 go over my house - it\'s the 10:35 to LA. :(( Wish I was on it. I really need a holiday. There\'s always hope.

I think it\'s wonderful how you have so much room to plant wonderful fruits and vegetables, and flowers :) It must feel so good to be able to pick the produce and enjoy the lovely organic home-grown veggies and fruits, and to share them around with the family if you grow tons of string beans! :D Bean salad is always a good option - some cooked beans, chopped bacon, fetta cheese and a few spinach leaves with a bit of light dressing. Nom nom.

I\'m waiting to hear back from my gardener for a quote for my patios and my patio herb garden :) This is only a small job for him really, so I don\'t expect him to jump in straight away. But I will email him on Wednesday because that will be a fortnight since I met with him, and I know he has to have time to get prices for the possum protection and pots etc. Can\'t wait :)

Misty is curled up on the couch amongst the purple crocheted blanket, it\'s a bit cooler here today.
Sending our love and hopes for 747 trips :) xxoo

Hello Chris......Enjoying your photo\'s of your garden,cool to see that strawberry ripening. Beautiful Honeysuckles too. Your evening last night sounded nice. I think that is cool you and Holly watch movies/shows together and really thoughtful and nice gifts you give one another and to your fiends. Good for you. I have never watched The Universe,but glad you are enjoying watching. You have a lot of cool interests. I heard that California Chrome threw a shoe and was a bit injured. Not sure that is true,but glad the horse is okay. Still a champion in my book. Wishing you and your family and Holly a peaceful Sunday eve. Love/Blessings/Greenies
