Just like many of you, I stay busy. Where does time
go and go? I bake a lot but mostly we eat it ourselves
and share with family and neighbors and forget about
posting the results here. I made Pumpkin Raisin Cookies,
then a Lemon Pound Cake, followed by Zucchini Walnut
Bars and twice I made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(2nd time was earlier today)
I have worked in our yard so much this summer.
We have a second pile of limbs on the driveway that
our son will eliminate this weekend. We pruned the
evergreens up on one side of our house.
In August
it was the 2nd driest on record so the Fescue grass
died in areas where as the neighbors Bermuda grass
moved in on both sides of our house. This is a battle
that I hate which has gone on for a long time. This
is one of those things you don't care about until you
are a senior and even then many don't care about. So I
have kept my mouth shut about my complaint and
do not express my views about the lawn.
I moved some more hydrangeas bushes to the
back yard this summer. They had to be watered
daily to survive but seem to all be fine. I am
moving toward knowing that in the future I will
be older. I am told that's how it works and since
I am 76 I think I better be thinking of ways to
reduce some of the work of having a flower garden.
This year I did something totally different. I planted
tomatoes in our full sun front yard, in with the
zinnias and hydrangea bushes. This is the kind of thing
I would criticize someone else for doing. The results
have been tomatoes for neighbors, family and others.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
