It’s been a big week for us. No gardening to speak of. I’ve possibly been posting about it too often but going to share again. Our 2nd oldest granddaughter graduated from her USAF boot camp last week. Ceremonies last Thurs and Fri and she had daytime leave on Sat and Sun. So we went down to San Antonio Wed nite and stayed till Sun evening. I cried at both ceremonies, so proud of her. Made sure I took down some of her fave foods :) it’s what Grannies do.

We’ve had trouble being able to leave home since adopting a dumped-in-the-country kitten nearly 2 years ago. Our 2 dogs have always liked “spa time” as our local vet is a cousin of mine and the mutts like being around him. The cat, not so much. But we found a pet sitter this time to come to our house to make sure they were fed, watered and cared for :) That was a blessing and we will definitely use her services again. And she was willing to water plants if need be. But, we had rain!!!

Sunday’s drive home was in hard driving rain and we’ve had a bit over 4” in our rain gauge cumulatively since last Friday. Yay! Only garden related thing I’ve done since coming home is dump water from saucers and smush snails.

God bless and I hope you are all doing well with the election as history now.

Oh, and I forgot to mention another blessing. Our daughter from Alabama surprised us all by coming over for the graduation. She stayed Sun thru Tues with me and hubby as added special time. Had ripe tomatoes and lots of peppers to share with her too. I’m a happy woman this week.
