Living in a Dairy town

Occasionally we leave town,

or as I say, 

we enter civilization.

I don't know why, but I have been questioning everything lately.

Including where I live.

I will say that when you enter civilization 

that you find a lot of traffic

and shopping.

For now, we will stay put.

This is the only time of year this dairy town smells good.

I love this plum tree;

beautiful blossoms,

smells great,

only a few plums.

Everyone knows I love my tulips.

This stuff only blooms once a year,

but boy, does it bloom.

And my tulips live in happiness on sunny days. 

Books, Books, Books

Do you love books?

I have to admit,

I have a fetish for books.

I have a kindle my 3rd one 

and I love it.

I can all of my books with me;

all the time.

And yet, I still have books all through the house.

I received these books for my 7th birthday.

True confession;

I have never read them.

I have really cleaned out the bookshelf, 

but I still can't part with some of them.

I do clean out my quilting books,

but I still have a few.

And children's books,

well that's just another issue.

My kids all had a bookshelves in their rooms,

because they had to have a place to keep the books I bought.

So here is my dilemma.,

These books are in the scholastic book order this month.

I don't even like Star Wars,

but I really want these.

Call me crazy, but I may just own 6 more books.

Honeysuckle

This weekend, 

one of my many projects 

was to plant my honeysuckle seeds.

I bought the seeds on Amazon.

According to the instructions,

they need 60 days of winter.  

Now this is a picture I took on Tuesday...

stink-en snow!

But this is a picture I took on Friday...

So I went with the refrigerator for 60 days of 40 degree weather.

I hope it works, because I really want some honeysuckle 

in my garden.
