No Garden this Year

 Well it happened. Since the first of 2025 I.ve been sick. So sick I didn't have the energy to put in a garden. BUT probably it was for the best. Here in the south a lot of people are having a time with theirs. Bugs and rain now the heat have made it impossible to keep a balance. So I'll be buying from the local market and canning. I can not wait for the cool weather. Ok that's done next news. Come March of 2026 will be looking for another homestead. This place has been hell. I believe it may be mold or mildew and Its been making us sick, Dog included. The yard stays wet around the little swampy area and the grass is unbelievable.

I won't miss it. I'm looking at a singlewide if I can find one. I think downsizing at my age would benefit the lifestyle I have. I've been going thru stuff and throwing out  what I don't need.  But I ordered my long bread pans and certain things for the kitchen. One big problem I've had here is I have no cabinet spaces.I had to buy metal shelves and they are full. 

Now Im fixing to get into making suncatchers, yeah I know there are a lot of people out there making them but I like sparkly stuff like that. Besides they're beads! I just got to get the wire for wrapping.

Well that's the jest of what is going on. I haven't wrote in the blog for awhile so I figured to jot down a few words. Things are kind of at a crawl right now till I can get going again. Oh by the way when I said I was sick I had covid twice within 3 months. So its been bad. That with what happened in February{bowel blockage} that hurt like hell.

He;s gotten so big and getting older.His muzzle has turned white.

It Happens to the Best of Us

 Well, it's been a while since I blogged. Life has nothing but not been easy around here. 3 of my hens got gone and I think dogs are responsible. I ended up getting a trail cam which I haven't installed yet. Right now they are in lock down til I can get the pen fixed. But good news they are finally laying again. Just in time for those eggs to be going up. Which is ridicules. 

The garden is having to wait til April because I ended up in the hospital with a block bowel. Man, that hurt. Then yep got the big covid again. Makes the 3rd time. Im getting sick of it and aggravated. But what can I do? I have to get out.

Got a pretty kitty here.

MOKIE

I got her in one of those calendars.

Ollie was worried about me. Hubstead took good care of him while mommie was in the hospital.

The hens are doing good.

This is momma cat Brownie, She loves her kittens and she's a good momma.She has hubstead wrapped around her paw too.

Yeah it's been a rough winter here in Alabama but we're surviving it. Spring is not that far off. I've been in a soap making mood plus I'm out so I just ordered my oils. I'm stuck on citrus and sage. They smell so good together. My DIL loves cherry blossoms and almond oil.so I'm making her some too. Anyways I wanted to catch up on my blog. It makes me feel better when Life throws me a curve ball. My sister  passed away and she was my favorite so I've had to deal with her being gone. My ex passed away. He had lung cancer. Thank goodness I quit 9 years ago.Man thats a long time. And yes I have lung screenings.  

Well thats about it. NEXT garden,got to get it straightened out and then I'll be ready as long as nothing else happens.

Yall have a great day and dont forget to leave a message I love reading them!
