2017 save????

wow, I've never ever kept a poinsettia alive past the holidays, but this one is from Thanksgiving of 2017. not in the best of shape, and almost croaked last week, from lack of water.. who knew(not me) that they barely need water. I gave it a tiny dribble and it perked back up. OF course Banita helped didn't she??? 

PopCorn Trees/tallow tree, INVASIVE 2018

https://helpstopthepop.com/tallowtree/https://helpstopthepop.com/tallowtree/



will add a picture or two of the trees close to me, I pull them and spray all the time, but it seems to make them worse. I'm in the middle of acres of land that belong to farmers or neighbors , some of who do not maintain property. So hopefully the Commission will investigate???

sharing breakfast August 2018

with the wild ones!!!

i think

they will eat anything.

pupa dogs, Shebaroosome, Milamonster 2018

as you probably can tell, its not easy to get a picture of the black dog up close, she just loves to get in a person face,,, a habit she formed before I adopted her, she is mmmmmuch better but still very lively, Its a Rhodesian mix of her. I'll have to ad a few more pictures, mainly for my benefit, as Mila (yellow dog) is 13 and slowing down big time. 

BREAD,,, DAVES KILLER BREAD to be exact!! (SECOND CHANCES)

OH MY,,,, I've managed for the last several years to cut way back on bread, partly due to health, partly due to the fact I haven't been able to find LOCALLY a decent hard roll or I just refuse to pay 4.00 for 8 rolls or less. AND, when I do buy loaf bread, i usually end up feeding most of it to the wild turtles and the chickens. Fun but waste of money,,,

SO I was reading from an online acquaintance about an organic non GMO bread that is being made by a guy that calls it his second chance at life, due to ending up in Prison for 15 years, His business seems to have really grown, especially if I can now find it in CLINTON, MS.... and guess what it is DELICIOUS. True the slices are a bit smaller finding his way to a lower calorie and thinner, but he makes regular also, I believe he is based in Oregon, I must read more on his website...

IT's NOT CHEAP for sure, but it was on sale finally at Kroger and I bought a loaf, I think I can splurge when its going to a great cause , close to my heart. AND ITS GETTING VERY CLOSE TO TOMATO season,,,, I have pigged out on this loaf, the next one will last a bit longer if I can hold back..

Pineapple Guava bush/tree? 2018

I had my fears over the Pineapple Guava tree this year, because winter/spring was reallly crazy this year, too much cold and rain. they lost a lot of leaves which doesn't normally happen,,, but hay looky at the blooms this week. Maybe I'll beat the dogs to the fruit this year???

ROSES at last 2018

So, this is the Tree Rose I have always wanted. I bought it at Lowes in December, I've passed them by many times, until at long last a a really pretty bright ORANGE. My favs!!!

They look larger than they really are in the picture, but who cares, I just hope it survives ME...

 the blooms were drooping sadly after the big Storm this past Saturday, but seemed to be happy again, I did dead head the worse looking ones.

The other row is some I have moved to different spots, hoping this is the last move. They are looking fairly nice for this time of year. Forgive the grungy yard, too much rain and nasty lately.

April 2018 Silly Dilly

Just a few of rotten cat, originally from Chrystal Springs, She's been a bit of a meany lately, I make her and Banita stay indoors at night, and she lets me know at times she doesn't appreciate my concern,,, Yep, sometimes she tries biting me when I round her up and tote her back to the house.

Plus I've changed up her and Banita's diet, and she really gets annoyed when I hold back the dry food, who knew cats can get addicted to dry food.  More another day.

 dilly contemplating biting my foot.

 dang Dilly, will not be still for picture, plus my cellphone camera is really slow these days.

 Dilly and Banita down the drive, sharing for once, kinda rare, but i think a Skink was involved.

 Dilly and the quilt an XSister in law made for me,,, love it.

Dilly protecting a toy???

Spring? kinda? on its way 2018

i did manage a short walk around this morning between rain and getting ready for work.

Easter Lilies??? and Japanese Azaleas blooming already.  and time change a week away, or rather 5 days??

beloved dragon moved to new home (Renaker-Brazel)

SO, for the last year or so, I've been filtering out and selling some of my Collectibles, Gotta love a Dragon, especially after reading all the Game Of Thorns books. This one has been with me for at least 16 or so years,

Renaker Brazel Dragon, MADE IN USA. This one was done back in the late 80s i think, I really need to look up the info again, I never thought I would get 130.00 dollars for him, Auctioned him off with a buy it now on Ebay.

I did really well a year or so ago, and managed to pay a couple larger bills off. Ebay takes such a large cut these days, some I do not really make a profit, but I normally get my money back on most.

nice surprises this week.

arrived home one afternoon this week, and SOMEONE had added window visor thingys to my truck,,,will be especially nice for the old thing when its raining and i need to let down a window, because the AC quit a year or so again in it.

gotta love some surprises. From a very special prodigal person.

Rain Rain , go away, don't come back for at least a week???? or more. :)

This is the mess in my yard/parking area,,, due to all the rain the last couple months and oh yes the big snow that the weather people misdiagnosed. Got up to go to work yesterday and bam,,, forgot about the front wheel drive on the newer Buzzard, oops Honda. I've been parking here for 15 years with no trouble.  Just what i wanted to do at 4:40 in the morning, ON A MONDAY.  In the Dark.
UnStick the Buzzard/Honda. SURE am glad for motion lights.

PS, please forgive the nasty mess and the greenhouse that needs a new cover. OH and the large River Birch limb, another causality of rain and storms.

Silver lining, i did get it out without using my truck (probably would have been stuck too) and made it to work with time to spare. Early bird gets the DROWNED worm.

seeya.

Mexican street corn in a cup and Snappers in January

no, the two don't mix, at least this time of year, but we had a warm patch of weather and a snapper came out to catch a few rays. I got a bit worried about him as he didn't move all day, but about 5PM , back into hibernation.

Mexican Street Corn in a cup, because on the cob is too much trouble. Still working on the recipe, but its very addicting, but then I love corn, at least if it doesn't come out of a can.
