Uh-oh. I messed up. You know those 9 Carmen pepper plants? Well, 8 of the pots were actually 4 in each pot! Oops! We have 33 pepper plants. Man, if they all grow and do well, we're going to inundated with peppers. Rick just looked at me and said, "Pamela, Pamela, Pamela" as he was shaking his...

Today is Dear Richard's birthday! He is 73! :redheartpump: The girls (with a little help from me) ordered two cornflower plants for him. Not sure when they'll get here. I'm taking him out to dinner tonight. My brother and SIL are joining us. Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher...

Happy Weekend! What is the ringtone to your phone? For me, it's the intro to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple For Rick, it's the intro to Thunderstruck by ACDC

Last night, I got the window boxes at the WeShed planted with dusty miller and Persian shields. And planted 3 coral bells in the flower bed in front of the WeShed. Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher, made Rick's coffee, and went back to bed. Did one load of laundry and changed the...

Peas, potatoes, red beets, corn, and lima beans are planted. I'm going to plant 9 Carmen peppers tonight. And we're hitting a nursery tomorrow for 4 tomato plants. Not for sauce or freezing, simply for eating in sandwiches, salads, etc. Rick still has to work on the strawberry tower. We took our...

Nice @susanm9006! While Rick worked in the garden yesterday, I worked in the house: another vacuum, swiffer, wiped bathroom, all that good stuff. Since we've been having the bedroom windows open at night, the girls are waking us rather early in the morning now. Rick got up with them. After...

I was 12; he had just turned 16 and had moved into the neighborhood. All the neighbor kids were sledding and he came over to see what was going on. We got married when I was 16 and he was 19. And, as of yesterday, we've been married 53 years.

Man, it's warm around here! We hit the mid-80s today with high 70s tomorrow before the cold front moves in in the afternoon. Rick worked up in the garden all afternoon and is mowing the back yard now. Windows are open and we may keep them open during the night. The girls love sitting at the...

A lazy day. Rick got up with the girls and Mollipop and I hung out in bed until 8:30. It's raining and is just generally bleak, Rick turned on the football draft. Molli and I joined Tabby back in bed for an afternoon nap. Tonight, I think we're going to watch Northern Exposure.

#2. The first wouldn't fit in the linen closet.

Caramels

Happy Weekend! (It's raining here!) Name an item in your house and tell the story behind it. How did you get it? What is its purpose (if it has one)? Show a picture. Several years ago, we went to an Amish furniture maker about making a bookcase and filing cabinet. I wanted the bookcase for...

Man (and Girl) from UNCLE, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, etc.

The sewer-dude was here. Both tanks are cleaned out. It's definitely been a while since they were here last! Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher, made Rick's coffee, and went back to bed. Working on three loads of laundry. Didn't get the bed sheets changed yesterday, so I changed...
