just how infrequent can one person write a blog? hhmmmm, let's think...

working on it...

My bday is coming up. DH wanted to know where I wanted to go. Haha! I told him instead of getting away, I really need to improve my ventilation. I showed him that book - you know the one. "More than you ever wanted to know about glass beadmaking" by James Kervin. He said it all makes sense (thankfully). I'll keep you all updated on the progress!

hold up the mirror

"I know I need to do it. I just need a kick in the butt to get a move on."

How many areas of your life can you apply these two sentences to at this very moment? Lol!!!

seriously...

I never took my blog very seriously but the more I read other blogs, the more I think 'gee, mine needs something...". So I started adding things to the right side in hopes it will make my blog a place you may want to come back to, or at least add something more interesting for anyone who happens upon it. There'll be changes along the way as I build it to what I want it to be (ie: I have SO many favorite stores saved in Etsy, I could be the personal shopper for half of the country, hehe! but I can't add them all!). In the meantime, I hope you find something new to you, something of interest :)

just sit and watch them grow

tomato plant woes

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here, hehe!

Today I was watering my tomato plants and noticed an odd happening. What's getting to my tomato plants, I wonder? It's off to the nursery today with some pictures. Hopefully they'll identify the tiny burrowing beast. And then I'll buy some new resistant plants to replace this one. Gotta have those homegrown tomatoes!

the happiest grasshopper

I've been told that crickets are good, they're lucky. Okay, I'm all for crickets. The grasshoppers freak me out, though! This one has taken up residence in my patch of lamb's ear and it's a creamy yellow color (unless that's what they look like before they turn brown). The full grown ones are about 2" BIG and sound like a helicopter taking off when they take flight. God forbid one lands on me, it's the scream heard up and down the west coast.
