Update From The Compound

 I haven't killed any other plants in the Large Marge Memorial Garden.  But we are still waiting for the cucumbers to green up so I can pick them for the Old Man. They are growing, and are far from the "mini" size they said they'd be.  I hope they green up soon to make the Old Man happy.  And we will be having some fried green tomatoes tonight from the garden!!

Stay tuned. 

A Sad Day At The Compound

 Today is a sad day here for me and the Old Man.  This morning, we had our last hair cut with the stylist that has cut my hair for over 40 years, Denise.  She is retiring and moving down to Rough River.  It was a bittersweet morning.  The Old Man and I got our usual great hair cuts, but it was a weepy moment when Denise hugged us both before we left.  There's not much else I can say right now, unless it's I hope our next stylist does at least half a good of a job as Denise has done.  

Monday, Monday

 I didn't sleep well last night - I was worrying about something that is silly, so I didn't have a good sleep. So this morning, I'm tired and still worrying. I definitely see a nap in my future. 

Garden Update

I'm sorry to report that one of my cucumber plants and a tomato plant didn't make it.  But on a positive note, my mini cucumber plant is really producing - I have 4 pretty good sized cucumbers on the vine, that just need to green up before I can pick them.  And yesterday I picked a pretty good sized green bell pepper.  Over all, I am still happy with my first attempt at farming.

Stay tuned. 

Flashback Friday

 

It's strange - back when I was a kid, I loved to chew gum.  For the past 40 years, I can't stand to chew gum.  And even more, I can't stand to listen to people around me chewing and popping their gum.  In fact, as I was in the dermatologist's waiting room this morning, half of the full waiting room was smacking and popping their gum. But I digress.

As a kid, I loved the tiny pack of Chiclets.  It was a contest to see if anyone could chew the whole pack at once.  

Update From The Compound

 My faith in my gardening skills has been restored.  This morning when I was watering the plants, I saw 3 mini cucumbers on the vine.  They sure will make the Old Man happy.  

Update From The Compound

 I just came from watering and praying over my garden pots in the Large Marge Memorial Garden.  The cherry tomato plant is thriving, and the bell pepper plant is also thriving.  That's about it.  I will see if the green pepper grows any more in the next couple of days and then pick it.  I am hoping the cherry tomatoes will start turning red.

Stay tuned.
