November 13 2022 update

I have almost forgotten that I even had some blogs let alone remembered to keep them updated.  

Easter was a long time ago and I don't reall recall how I decorated. We did spend the day with Daughter and her kids. They are growing up way to fast.

Today is Palm Sunday. The Sunday before Easter.

I am not a highly religious person, but understand that this commemoration of the life of Jesus Christ and apassover are reminders that God is in control and that we, as human's are all flawed and need concstant reminders that we can each do better.

Today (Sunday) we had dinner at our daughter's  home. and afterwards we came home with one of her lawnmowers for Hubby to work on, and hopefully get running again, for her nd her son.  After he flooded it, and gave up for the evening. WE started putting together my Christmas Present from Her family to me. A Green House.  It got too dark and cool to keep working on it so only about half of the frame is done right now.  Since the week weather forecast is in the 70;s each day this week. I hope to finish it tomorrow. Then I will start some seeds in cups in it.  

Each Saturday for the next couple of months. I will be at the Community Gardens at Noon to invite others to join in on the garden fun and growing plants. I do hope to get my boxes started soon.
