Early evening here, heaviness in the air, can feel a storm brewing in, but, just in case I'd better water those flowers...need to cut a little area next to the house..owners who are having their house built have junk/junk all around the back side of mine..know they'll clean it up, don't need one extra thing to do ..but I do just want to tidy it up lol/lol...

Well I enjoyed the plant sale, purchased 80 of them and spent the day planting/watering...so I still need a lot more for around the pond so next weekend that's on me 'priority' list of 'to do's'

Liz, that squirrel is still trying lol..but I think so far I've won..thanks for sharing your story..funny/funny! Isn't it strange that whenever these things happen there is always somebody around to see it..DH must have been having fits of laughter...I love garage sales, trying to stay away from them though...don't think there is much I need but if I get to one I want to take everything home with me..see all the different things I can create..so, bet I buy plants instead!!

Wonder..isn't that one of the best ventures you can take..the ability to write children's stories and mold their lives somewhat by the message it sends..how proud I am of you, how envious I am that you have the fortitude to take on such a task...wow..aren't we all impressed...and yes, you've peaked our interest....

Hope Darius is feeling better..so much to go through...know she hasn't been well for awhile..miss her posts..am sure she'll be back with us shortly....

Gillibean..I would have thought being so close to Quebec border that you would have a lot of french speaking people...my DH spoke mostly in french in the house and I'd answer in English..my boys did not go to French school because I felt I never mastered either language...both had to suffer...they understand everything but after their father passed and my grandparents who raised me passed I really didn't have anyone to converse with...but I can still write and it takes me a few moments but I can quickly get back into it...How did your 'switch day' go...bet there are a lot of things you learn on those days...hubby and I used to have a 'his' day and then a 'my' day each week so I'd save all those things he had no interest in for 'my' day...but payback was a .....the things I had to do with him.......

Nap, how did those plant cuttings survive? Even though I immediately planted those I purchased and watered prior to planting and after planting..some look like they are drooping..a lot of the soil is sandy, know I need topsoil but hope they survive till I can get them some..what are the chances they do well in sandy soil????

here's a photo of my recent 'church plant' sale findings...
