I still have not figured out what this ‘mystery’ plant is. I do not even know where I got it. All I do know is that it is taking up a lot of room in the front of a bed – and if it doesn’t show me something pretty impressive, pretty soon – it will [...]

I’ve been pretty busy the last week or so. T’s brother came from El Paso to visit – for the first time in years and years and years. I had to get the yards, gardens, and house all spiffied up before he got here, of course. And then I cooked. Yeah, me.
My girlfriend and I [...]

We are now the proud owners of a 20 foot, collapsible flag pole. T installed a sleeve for the pole, in the front of our home, and puts our flag up each morning, and takes it down each evening.
A local contractor originally put this very flag pole up, in the yard of the home that he [...]

This is a photo of my sedum, Autumn Joy, which shows it is beginning to get it’s color!
I have one of these in the side yard, one in the front yard, and one in the secret garden. And all three of them are doing the same darned thing!

My blogger buddy, Dave, has posted ‘then and now’ photos - click here to see Dave’s photos from 1972, and today.
Dave said that the ball was in my court, and I told him I’d get some pictures posted soon. Well, this was easy…since it seems to be the ’summer of the sisters’, we already had this old picture on [...]
Home from the San Juan Islands

What a great trip. My sister (Caryl) and I took I-90 West to I-5 and then into Anacortes, Washington. There we drove aboard a ferry and went to visit our sister (Charlene) at Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, and meet her beau, Charlie. I was so excited to be visiting the islands – I’d never been [...]

My blogger buddy, Suzan, at Bombshellomatic sent me this crochet pattern book. What a treasure! Can you see the price on it? 10 cents! It was published in 1946 – it’s even older than I am! Thank you so much, Suzan!
My oldest daughter, Cindra, has always wanted me to crochet her a bedspread. Now, as [...]
