50 is the New 65 ???

Ok...
Its been a really,really long time since I did a new post.
I have been thinking about posting...
and finally got done procrastinating.

I recently had a birthday...
I turned 55...yep...
but I really don't "feel" 55...
sometimes I "feel" younger...
sometimes older....
As for the title of this post...
50 is the new 65...
Is that really a good thing...
or compliment?
I have been "goggling" everything lately...
Since I have a Kindle Fire and new iPhone4.
And Who knew I "needed" the devices...
I didn't until I got them.
I love the ease of being able to access any information,
listen to Pandora(love it), text, call, email, Face Book...
Face Time is the best!
But to be able to do ALL these things on one small device is amazing.
WHO KNEW???
OK...
So I guess I got you mostly caught up on my life...
I continue to mostly read blogs...with occasional posting of comments.
I do have a sweet new Grand daughter... I got to be at her birth.
It is "trying" to be Spring today where I live.
We must take each day and enjoy it.
This is the day which the Lord hath made...I will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Take Care and Much Love,
Nancy

My blog "vacation" is OVER !!!!!!

I  am sorry that I have been
A.W.O.L.
I had not intended to take the whole summer off...
It just "happened".
I didn't go off on a vacation either.
This is what happened...
I got too use to using my Kindle everyday...
and its not very "blog friendly"
Here are a few greenhouse  pictures that I took today:
TOMATOES !!!

8-) Thankful Thursday or Long Time no see....

SUMMER....
has finally arrived !!!
Yes...
I know that some of you have already had it for months.
Where I live...we don't see it until now.
It has been very rainy here...
which we are VERY Thankful for...
since I live near the forests and they can dry out very quickly.
With that being said...
My garden is mostly planted....
Here is what is growing....
 Peas....in the shadow of the greenhouse.
 Lavender....2 bushes have flowers !    8~)
 Mullein
This grows "wild".
My good friend uses this to make her Meadow Magic.
(See previous post)
Strawberry plants....soon to be planted.

This is the first year to have  a greenhouse....
I have had peppers,broccoli, onion and tomatoes growing in there.
Will try to keep you updated with more blogging and photos.
Take care...love you all,
Nancy

How's your Balance?

This is a Balance....
YES....really

Here is the story...
A few years ago...
when my youngest son...
was much younger...
We were leaving after a dinner(potluck) at our church...
walking out a door with many steps...
I had my hands full dishes
and was trying to hold on to my son's hand.
All of the sudden, I didn't not feel very steady...
I told my son...
I am loosing my balance, I am loosing my balance!!!
He did the best to steady me
 and we did make it down the stairs without falling.
SO....
Several days later...
 I was in the kitchen...
and my 4 year old son came running into the house...
Shouting:
Mom....
I  FOUND YOUR BALANCE !!!


Kids say the funniest things.
Well...grownups can too.
Take care,
Nancy

A thing we have....but didn't know we needed

Who has a Kindle...Kindle Fire?
Raise your hand (my hand is raised high)

Did you buy it for yourself....
or was it a gift?
 My husband bought it...
but gave it to me.
I actually didn't "know" that I needed one...
until he brought it home.
But they are sooooo handy to use.
I  daily check the free book list.
I have found a few "keeper" books there.
I am kinda picky about what I download to read.
I don't want to read it just because its free....
There other day I downloaded and read a book in one day.
I  thought the book was about a true story...
I found out in the end....it was a true event...but not real people. 
(That was kind of disappointing)

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN USE IT FOR:
  •  Reading news and checking weather
  • checking email and facebook
  • google searches
  • playing games(my kids like that)
Let me know what you like about your Kindle....
or what you think about Kindles.
Have a great weekend....
and go read a book(on your Kindle).
I might.
Take care,
Nancy

Thinking of you Thursday

I have been thinking about Blogging.....

I have lots of ideas going through my head...
So....
I  will post some pictures about what I have been doing...

Its finally Spring(I think so)
but we have had the woodstove going all week
(where is that warm weather we had last week...or was it the week before?)
BUT....
before it started raining
(yes, its been cold, rainy & sunny everyday this week, except Sunday)
Here is what we did Sunday evening after church...
 Finally....planted potatoes
Big house...little yard
I am LOVING the greenhouse...
I have tomatoes, peppers,onions and broccoli
grown from seeds...getting bigger in the nice greenhouse
some plants will stay in the greenhouse in pots...
others will go into the ground.
This is why the pictures look dark.
I took this before we started working in the garden.

Take care,
Nancy
P.S.
There will hopefully be another post tomorrow.
