10 on the 10th… May was one of those months that flew pretty quickly. Nigel had a couple of tests, and we’re now waiting for his appointment with the surgeon. He has been using a walker everywhere and is supposed to stay off of his feet as much as possible. That’s almost impossible with him. …
June is off to a beautiful start. We have had the most gorgeous weather though storms are forecast for the next day or so. I also love thunderstorms so all is well. My plants are doing well, though one of my salvias has mites. It’s funny because last year, I had the same problem with …
10 on the 10th… Wowza!! April just flew by, didn’t it? I really don’t like to hear that let alone say it, but the month just zoomed past me. May is quite the month in our family. Both my youngest granddaughter and my bonus son have birthdays as do my niece and my great-nephews. I’ve …
Those April showers definitely led to May flowers. My rose bushes are filled with little buds, and some have already begun to open. Unfortunately, the leaves on the bushes appear to be quite delicious to something because, in the course of one day, entire groups of leaves were lace! I hate using insecticides, but I …
As I write this month’s answers, I’m still celebrating the eclipse. You guys! It was one of the most incredible sights ever! I’ll admit the half hour or so leading up to totality was kinda boring and anticlimactic. I really thought it would be a lot darker as the moon moved between us and the …
Last month, I predicted we would have some more snow before the end of the month. And, I think we did, but if we did, it was just flurries. On Tuesday, April 2nd, we had snow flurries again! Mother Nature is not reading her calendar! As far as March coming in like a lion or …
Well, as I write this, Nigel has already changed the clocks for the end (or is it the beginning) of Daylight Savings Time. I honestly don’t understand the reasoning behind this. What I do know is I hated it when I was teaching. My kids had a hard time getting to sleep while it was …
It’s March, and that brings all kinds of madness to Indiana! First, there’s the weather. We hit an all time high last week (or was it earlier this week). Anyhoo, I won’t be the least bit surprised if we don’t have at least one snowfall sometime in the next couple of weeks. And, then, Indiana …
It’s time for my regular weather report. One of the local tv stations is saying winter is pretty much over for those of us in Central Indiana. He blamed it on El Nino. I’m sure my daffodils and hyacinths are happy, but I am not. I would have liked one really, really good snowfall! Friday, …
Ah, February! Here you are. Have I missed you? Hmmm, I don’t think so. It always seems like this shortest month of all drags on forever. And, this year, we get an extra day…yippee? Even though Nigel and I don’t really do much for Valentine’s Day, I caved for this month’s 10 on the 10th. …
