The Blog Hit 69,000 Some Time Today.
















It's been a really busy day today and  
this is the first chance to get here.  I
found the Blog hit 69,000 with 712 
views today and 58 tonight already!

Yep with the spammers, the numbers go
up fast but the views on the pages don't.

Imagine

 Imagine there's no Heaven

It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

RIP  John, on your anniversary 
of your death.

Another Storm Headed Our Way!!

 Can't wait!!  Super Soaker!!

From The Greenhouse 12/6/2023

 





















I spent my afternoon removing all the leaves I 
could reach, off our trees in the greenhouse.

Isn't the pink one impressive??  Not released, nor
is it registered.  I call her, karma's pink.  The blooms
are huge!

More buds to bloom and several seedpods to watch.  

I was shocked to see the small Clematis 'Crispa'
in bloom!

Pineapple Express Headed Our Way!

 From Thursday to Wed. of next
week we are to see several back 
to back storms, 5 to 6 inches of 
rain!  A steady stream of moisture
from HI headed to the PNW.

It will be a great time to stay inside
and cross stitch!!

12/1/2023

Today was a trip!!  We had water
around the circle bed out back and 
all the normal spots have filled up
with water.  The wind picked up and
dump pine needles all over the place.
Still picking up leaves!

12/4/2023

All I'll say is gone with the wind!  I
had to put the tarp back on the greenhouse
4 times before noon.  Need to get stronger
rope!!

They say tomorrow will be worse when the 
last couple storms hit!

12/5/2023

It rained all day and more to come tomorrow.
Flooding and landslides.

12/6/2023

Still coming down in buckets!!

12/7/2023

A break from the pouring rain this morning!
But more on the way.  It was a nice day to 
try to clean up the Hydrangeas.  It took 2 trips
but all 14 are cleaned up and stripped.

12/8/2023

Hopefully today I can get out and vac up all
the junk that has fallen into our yard.  What
a mess!

It's Cross Stitch Time For The Rest Of The Winter Time!!

 With the weather turning colder,
20s the past few days in the morning.
The leaves are about done falling out
of the trees!  Yard debris bins are again
full so it's time to stay inside unless it
warms up.

I start to Cross Stitch this time of year!
So today the latest one that I started last
year is now out and time to finish what was
started!!


 













This one is double in size so it won't fit the usual 
frame.   I will post photos as I work to finish.

Time To Light Up My World!

 












All solar!

11/26/2023 More Bloomers

I went out to the Brug House to water
and deadhead.  To my surprise there 
were a few blooms and more buds!
I couldn't get photos of all the blooms
but here are some of what was found.

Still Blooming!!

 No fertilizer after Sept. 1 but
I'm still seeing buds and blooms!
For your enjoyment!


















Tuberose, a gift from a special KS Gardner.
I put them in the greenhouse in a hurry as they
didn't bloom and it was to get cold!

































Plus Seedpods!

Another Storm Over Night!













 Can't wait to see what mess this storm
will leave in the yard!  We spent most 
of the day cleaning up the mess from
over night. 

Or should I say gone with the wind?

A Day Of Rain!!

 A nice day to watch movies and
rest as the out side is a huge mess!

Staying dry is the key for today.
