Happy birthday to Susan, (9kittymom) eat some cake for us! Hope you have the day you wish for, and it is pain free. My youngest DD has fibromyalgia and it is very difficult to deal with. Her dr. describes it as arthritis of the muscles, without the relief of aspirin or meds.

Yes, historically this day has some bad memories.

What? You can't see the fruit of my labors? Hope the new pics will help. I thought you all had vegetable eyes! LOL

It was so delightfully cool here last night, all the kids were snuggled in with me this morning, Olivia snuggled next to my ears, purring like a motorboat. Until she decided she needed her breakfast and started nibbling on me. So I'm up and only a half cup of coffee awake so ignore any typos.

Nice Huskies Darius. They have a variety of cherry tomatos here named cherry 400, because they produce so many. I didn't plant one, since I knew I'd get the yellows. I eat them by the handful. If I get a good crop from my other two plants, I'll roast some and freeze them for winter time. They are so good that way with the flavor intensified.

Bonnie, I'm kind of a SAD victim too, but I usually get it more in Nov. and Dec when our days are gray and overcast. When it gets really cold here in Jan and Feb we get more clear skies and sunshine. Last year I bought one of those high intensity natural daylight lamps, which are supposed to help. They've come way down in price. I have it in the guest room next to my sewing machine, because it helps a lot sewing with dark fabrics, but I move it out for reading during those dark days. I do think it helps. I think I paid about $20 at Sam's for the table top variety, but they have floor ones too.

Thanks for the reminder McCool, I need to go in to the Address Exchange and change my address to Noway Puppylane.....

I don't know where everyone else was last night but we didn't eat dinner until almost 8 because DH decided to go out and cut the grass, so everything was on hold until he got done. So, by the time I cleaned up the kitchen and put the morning coffee on, all I had enough energy to do was flop on the couch and read.

OK, now can you see my veggies?
