Moving on out....

and yes we purchased 2 acres in Waddell house plans in the works!

and yes FINALLY after 7 months we have our first eggs from our illegal girls...

Really almost 3 years have gone by....

Dad has passed onto heaven Sept 7th, 2017, sure do miss him! Mom is here with us now in Surprise Memory Care, my life has added every other day trips to see her. She is better but not here as far as memory, does she know who i am .....only she knows.

She has improved immensely since she has arrived in the last 3 months going from 72pds to 92lbs still walking talking and able to feed her self. Stays in her room a bit too much but well that is Mom she is not a social gal by any means. Still loves those blueberry muffins which i supply on a regular basis.

Well and there you have it 6 months has gone by........

School is out got straight A's -YEAH!! Signed up for fall classes.

Still working at Elgin-learning alot and do enjoy it even though i have a new "young" assistant for the summer months.

Garden is in and producing tomatoes and almost ready for the next season-fall planting!

Exile & Marnie and the kids doing much better he is back working so is Marnie. Wish they lived closer by so we could see each other more-will keep pushing to get over there at least once a month.

Maggie's nose after 6 months of different meds i think - i hope- has finally recouped and is better. Though last month she got her tail caught in the door and it looks a little tweaked we still love her to death!

Went on a 12day road trip thru NM/TX/LA/AR/MO/KS with the knob-she adapted really well to our new little rooms every night and drives during the day. Saw Mom & Dad briefly...out chased a tornado and found Fredericksburg TX love that town maybe someday even move there....

Time flys by :)

It's coming 2015! WOW! This picture says it all time just slipping away. Finished last semester with straight A's except for George Hulls Urban Plant Id class. Very disappointing...on a brighter note i got a partime job!
Will be meeting with Jonathan on 1/3/2015 Elgin Nursery a whopping 8.50 an hour..can't remember when i only made that much..lol but the experience will make up for the hourly rate plus free use of their heated greenhouse. Here's to growing in 2015!

The knob really has a knob!

Too many gopher holes! What have I done to my snoz?

Beach gal

Was a bit scared of the waves until mom told her "get em"...problem she drank way too much salt water auto throwup and diarrhea. Didn't seem to phase her  she slept all the way back to the cabin :)

My garden guard

Running through the alfa!

Green stuff

Super drink..kale, pineapple, cucumber, apple and mint. So good never cared for the drinks Robert used to make with the juicer but love this one will have to try another recipe.

Redid pantry...

All glass jars with seal! Now just waiting for the new paper to come so I can reline the shelves. .hoping today :)

Almost 3 months have passed by...

Way to busy with class at MCC and life! I have not entered a picture or anything since March, how am i supposed to remember all i have done if I don't write it down...suppose i need to remember that first.

Sooo what has happened since March:

Both garden were planted for spring, tomaotes are not as abundant as they were last year. Not sure what the issue has been, it has been a very dry spring no rain and no humidity. Have had a lot of blossom drop and even some plants just up and die. I rotate every year between the three gardens? Once the potatoes are done and the melons and squash plan on turning the first plot and possible put in a cover crop. Problem is i will have tomatoe starters ready to go in August...

School is over until fall took the following classes:

Irrigation Design- B+
Soil Science- B
Plant Biology- A+

Would have been wonderful to have straight a's...but it has been a long time since i hae been to school and well college even. This fall i have signed up for 4 classes...am hoping i can carry a B+ or better thru all of them.

Landscape Design
Grounds Mgt
Urban Plant care & ID
Indoor Foliage Plants

Let's hope that it is not too much of a load as i still need to play in the dirt as well as continue to push for Maggie May Kookies!

And we made it official in the eyes of the state on 4/1/2014 and got "hitched"..lol never thought i would do that again huh!
