Good to hear from you. If my house in Springfield, Mo. had that many weeds, the health department/city hall would have served me notice and threatened fines.LOL

Sounds like you surely did get some rain, since the maters survived. Hubby is growing several varieties of blueberries. When we first got started in earnest, he planned to grow peppers and blueberries. Glad he decided to expand.

I love this time of year. The grocery list for the produce section is sooo much shorter. I harvested some red bell peppers and pimento peppers today and dug up some more potatoes.

The left over supermarket potatoes had a better yield than I expected. I got the biggest potato so far from that patch. Washed it off and had a great baked potato skins and all.

Yep, I hate moving worse than anything. Probably why we have stayed here so long. I am totally convinced that food is a great source of medicine. Good nutrition and the body’s own resources can be a powerful combo.

We won't be going on the northeast trip any time soon. You think you have your act together and plans made and some guy T bones our SUV on my side. This happened a week ago today. I was put on a backboard by EMTs and taken to hospital. A cscan determined no broken neck vertebrae. I've been wearing a neck brace since then as my head doesn't want to turn to the left, bad pain and that side is swollen. Doc gave me muscle relaxant pills.

SUV was totaled as the hit bent the frame as well as “bent” my neck. Bob was okay.

He's dealing with insurance people and adjusters and within a day or so, we'll have to find another SUV. Sometimes, things go bump and that was a big bump. The guy who hit us wasn't hurt and he was yelling Bob hit him. Our car would have to go sideways to hit him. Later, Bob said he was watching the guy and if he had come forward at him in an attacking way, the guy would have a broken ankle and probably a broken arm and be on the ground. Bob's background/training is such he could do that in a split second.

I don't think I said when I was at my house a couple weeks ago, I dug up the Egyptian Walking Onions and brought them here. Got two four foot long planters here and potting soil and stuck them in there to keep them alive until the weather is cooler in the fall, then will get a 4x4 raised bed and plant them there. No way was I going to leave my Walking Onions behind. :o)
