This is what she's doing right now. Of course she isn't that small anymore.

Bingo! I had a good nap this afternoon as well. :-)
I hope Bitty girl's keeping her doos on today. Feet gets chilly in this weather!

Well, we gots to put our maters in a bit earlier... cause in July - they dry up from the heat unless you go to extremes to keep them cool and watered. ~sigh~ Some years I have managed that --- lol -- other years, I just plant some more for my fall garden.
I am still in transition here - staying with relatives who love me enough to put up with me. I ended up taking all my bulbs that I'd dug from the other house to Alabama for my daughter's new house. We planted them New Year's eve. :-) I'm sure hoping they give her a bright colorful new spring in her new home. :-)
I need another. This terrrible economy is gettin' me down.
Did ya'll get any rain yesterday or today? Our volunteer fire department here is sure overworked. We got a little bit of rain yesterday - but the scanner has talked about 2 more brush fires today.
Oh boy, kind of sounds like NY also.
Hehehe... Ain't that the truth! :-)
Ya know, I took a paycut to teach... and I was a bit concerned about going back to work for a company in these parts that would pay me around what I was making before. But, with this economy the way it is - I figured out yesterday that by Feb 28 I should have made 1/3 of the annual teaching salary. LOL...
However, one of these days I'm going to need another vacation!
Some rain, prolly well under 1/2 inch.
I've had to keep the sprinklers on all "winter" to keep teh yard chasms at bay.
I swwiped that from the n'oreaster LIVE thread.
LOL Last year, with paid o/t and all, I ended up making about 50% more than my dad ever made.
I'll go with this one. If they'd said surface warship, I'd have let it go. The Soviet icebreaker Lenin appears to have it beat by a couple of years. The Long Beach did edge the Enterprise by a couple of months. And the NS Savannah came along shortly thereafter.
Oops. I almost embarassed myself on this one. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't even notice the more glaring error. "launched at Quincy in 1961". No, it wasn't. It was launched 14 July 1959 (they were just 2 years off). It was COMMISSIONED 9 September 1961. Source for that: http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/l8/long_beach-iii.htm
To clarify, the Lenin was launched in 1957.
Good thing. You could lose Bittygirl and Spiderboy in some of the ones around here!
Heavan forbid.
Well. I was not totally comfortable planting on New Year's Eve. But, thekids have that brand new house - and I had all those bulbs and no house at which to plant them. She's not had much chance to do gardening with all the army travel - so she and I had an afternoon of planting.
It's a lot colder in northern Alabama than it has been around here. Not sure whether those will make it. But, some of them were iris bulbs my Grama gave me over 20 years ago. Beautiful hybrids. I'm hoping that's going to give her something special for her "first home." :-)
Lest we forget to tell ya'. Bittygirl is expecting a cousin sometime in Sept.
Yeah, we gotta KEEP praying that this economy doesn't get worse than it is now! / sarc
I don't mind tellin' ya I was a bit skeered about striking out on my own. Kept up with local unemployment ads for about 2 weeks... then decided I was too busy to do that and would find a normal job again if I ever have to. LOL
Howdy! We sure have missed you. Good to see you!
She is!!!... and just which side of the fambly will this cousin come from? :-)
