How Does He Do That?

June 7, 2018

Good morning.  Well, the sun is shining again and the temps have gone up a few degrees.  We should make it into the high sixties today.  A super step in the right direction!  I seem to have picked up a slight chill in these old bones, and I'm needing the warmer temps to chase it away.

Yesterday was rather quiet here.  I washed some dishes, displaced a few dust bunnies, watered the plants, etc.  Nothing exceptional.  But I'm not complaining.  It's rather nice not to have to worry about getting things done all the time.  I do wish my energy level was a bit higher though. 

DIL Janet came by after work yesterday.  We had a nice visit, although I've developed a really bad habit.  Every now and then I nod off to sleep for a little bit.  Janet's a sweetie though, she just crochets and waits for me to open my eyes again.  Then we chat on as though nothing happened.  I may have to take a nap earlier in the day when she is coming by.  I love my visits with her, and I feel bad about nodding off. 

This morning, I came across a new scrap store.  I checked it out, and they have some really nice scrap kits.  The prices are reasonable so I bought a few kits.  If you'd like to check it out, they are called "Dance In The Rain Scraps."

Today I have some photos of my plants.  I have two on my bottom step as a welcome.  These are the Coreopsis and the White Petunias.  They are sort of a cheerful "Hello" to anyone coming by. 

We had to cut down the huge rose bush that is by the laundry room door because it was getting so unruly.  Plus a lot of the wood stems on it were actually dead.  Already, I miss it but there seems to be some new growth coming up from the ground around it.  One shoot from it already took hold a few years ago and is looking really great this year. 

Here is the new bush now, and a close up of the little white flowers.  It's hard to believe that this used to be a gorgeous yellow rose.  But the root plant is also beautiful.

One of the new plants, the Double Impatiens, is one I haven't seen before, and it is simply gorgeous!  I think it's time to re-pot it and put it on the porch so that I can enjoy looking at it all the time. 

Ooo-wee!  The mail just came, and in it was an envelope from Omaha Steaks advertising their new $19.99 sale.  The last time I bought some $19.99 sale items, Pogo and I pigged out on pot roast and corned beef with cabbage.  I can't wait to see what's on sale now. 

Speaking of Pogo, my little doggie is oh so unique!  I have never met a dog who could pee underneath his pee pads.  But my Pogo can!  I check his pee pads frequently so that I can change them when he uses them, but sometimes they stay dry for a long time.  I have learned now to look under the pee pad, just in case.  And yup, so many times, there's a puddle underneath the pad.  Now I ask you, How does he do that??  Hmmmm?

Well, my coffee mug is empty, and Deanne just texted me to say that she will be here in a little while for a visit.  I guess it's time for me to get busy here.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
