~Theyre Doin' Good~ :-)

First please notice that my garbage can lid is ON..is that not

a good thing?? I am very pleased..funny how just a small thing

really just gets to you sometimes.. My one friend said he just

picks it up, puts it back on and says nothing or complains...

they keep doing it.. If everyone complained maybe these places

would do a better job. just as easy to put a lid on right as it

is wrong.. Well Im glad to see it like that...how its sposta be.

Now..look to the right..the white thingie there is for the rose

bush that's planted there..she doesn't look real good..but,

on each side are the tomato plants..theyre doing really good.

you see the lillies.. now the close ups.... :-)
I hope they do good.. I don't care if they ripen..but as long as I

can have some green tomatoes..well I will be a MOST happy

camper.. I LOVE friend green tomatoes..they are so good..

Even the movie named that was good :-)... but they are..not

what you would expect being a tomato would taste like..I

have had them since I was little..my mom made them all

summer..they had a great garden..Every night they would

go out and inspect, weed, water, and they enjoyed it..every

one up north has a garden..well here too.. during the time when

everything is ready there are stands selling veggies all up and

down the back roads here.. We used to love to buy that fresh

when we didn't have a garden... When I did my canning, I usually

bought the fruit or veggies by the bushel basket.. I made some

killer peaches, and my sweet pickles I bet would have won a

prize at a fair they were so good..but I have all the OLD recipes,

from my grandmother..theyre the best..and of course I have my

mothers..Besides herself, that was the most valuable thing she had.
I had to zoom in on the lillys..day lillies we call them..these are the

orange and yellow where the other ones just past that tree and by

the garage door are yellow.. These are so pretty.. I noticed when we

went to sturgis that all along the roads the wildflowers were just

glorious..so pretty..One of the Presidents wives..LadyBird I think,,

made a thing that wildflowers be planted all along the highways,

and they sure did a good job around here and up North.. Just

beautiful to see a whole hill side of nothing but lupines and brown

eyed susans and daiseys.. beautiful... why its so nice to travel

the back roads.. some of those old deserted farms..the flowers

that are still growing.. be some beautiful photos..
My back yard the grass is really dry..by the side of the garage

there you can see the rose, then the day lillie..then on the end

I think is another Lilly, perhaps the star gazer kind that are

just wonderful..I have hostas down below the kitchen and bath

room windows.. I didn't remember that they bloomed.. really

pretty.. The photo I took of them was ickky and I didn't take

the time to take another one.. tiny delicate flowers on a tall

stem.. My impatients on the front porch are doing real good.

The double white ones are beautiful.. We were sposta get

rain but we didn't sure would help that dry looking lawn..but

then will make it grow faster too, then that means cut more..

In that top photo you can just make out a branch that came

out of the tree, I have NO idea why ..its a healthy one..looks

like someone deliberately broke it off.. that could be, maybe

it hung down to low for the van or something.. I will ask Penny

tomorrow when she comes..

Ive been talking with a friend that is very familiar with Chicago.

There are so many interesting things there to see and do.. I

have not been there since I was in high school.. I know I went

to the zoo with my parents when I was ..well 12 maybe? Im

not sure.. I have a photo but I guess the box is under my bed and

I couldn't get at it..just me sitting on a big stuffed bear.. But I

think would be great to spend 3 or 4 days touring that great

city.. I would love the getaway..now I just have to find someone

to go with me.. Kelli is going to Louisiana to see my ex, her

Papa..she goes there maybe twice a year to see him..hes

very good to her ..she loves him a lot..

I made a huge mess in the kitchen this morning.. Being blind

in my left eye I have no depth perception and either I was

blind in my good eye or still half asleep..but I missed the thingie

to put the coffee grounds in and the whole top of it all together..

I had coffee grinds everywhere.. and this was on fixing my very

FIRST cup too! now is THAT aggravating..as bad as waking

up and finding that the coffee maker doesn't work at all..But,

I know how to make coffee in a pan on the stove..the old way..

boiling it and then letting it settle.. and its good too.. Well It

took forever to clean it up but I finally did get a cuppa coffee..

what a way to start the day..:-)

I know how Im gonna end this one..my usual way with my

usual GORGEOUS WEEBLE words.. "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks!

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
