First off let me say that in no way do I blame any of my readers for the Orange menace and his crazy behaviour. I do blame those that did not believe that what he was saying was exactly what he was going to do and voted for him. I know the vast majority now disagree with what he is doing to both of our countries.
I finished my planting (I hope) at 7 am this morning. I have really cut back and that is amazing to me. Still, I hope that I have enough of everything planted and that nothing will need to be replaced. I just do not want to spend more money. Next year I am going to see if anyone has perennials they wish to thin out, or perhaps get Kris to plant some flowers for me. A package of seeds, while quite expensive, still costs less than bedding plants.
Once my deck is cleaned up and things put where I want them I will post some pictures. Things are pretty small right now, but will definitely grow over the summer.
Went out for lunch with one of my sister-in-laws today. She picked me up and we had a lovely time chatting. I don't think we have ever done this before, and I think we should make a habit of it. Must get the other sister-in-law who lives here in on it, she was a bit busy today and so could not join us. I managed to find out a few things about the family, some of which really surprised me.
Off to get the fries cooked in the air fryer. Harvey is smoking the hamburgers. I will also pull out the leftover coleslaw to use up as well.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Hi Jackie, it's great you got to spend time with your sister-in-law. And your meal with the hamburger, fries and coleslaw sounds really good! I am sure you will get a chance to meet with your other sister-in-law who was unable to join you today. You have a wonderful evening as well, dear. God bless you.
ReplyDeletePlants are definitely expensive. The RC has finally replanted his herbs and the tomatoes he started and I notice that he's now covered them up to protect them. I thought maybe he was rushing it.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at seeds yesterday and they start out at $2.00, so they’ve gone up in price some. Plants are definitely more. Your visit with your sister in law sounds neat. And smoked hamburgers for dinner sounds delicious. We had bbq chicken and salads here..
ReplyDeleteSadly, it is his voters here that will be hit the hardest by his policies - they. just don't know it yet.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a nice visit with your SIL.
ReplyDeleteI've cut back this year too on annuals. Although they provide the colour I love, I'm trying to see cosmos in the raised bed to see how they do. I'll have to wait a little longer to see the results but a packet of seeds is definitely less expensive than the bedding plants.
Your dinner sounded delicious. I was lazy and had a sandwich last night.
Glad you got your planting done. Super on a nice visit.
ReplyDeleteJackie, you know how much I detest "that man". He is a huge embarrassment and I wish him gone!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMeals sound good, and your projects are wonderful. I really would like to see the newest shell top you made.

Every day I wonder what he is going to blow up next. Every Damn day! We try and get together for sister's lunch every week, but sometimes we go weeks without. We are all so busy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely lunch out with your sister in law.
