Living in a Dairy town

Image
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

Image
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.
