It's Been a Long Time

I have not blogged for ages.   It's been a busy year.

Spring was beautiful.   The garden spot was moved to the back yard and after adding some good old country manure the seeds grew quickly.

Lettuce, raddish, cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes.  Oh yes, this was going to be a year. And the flowers seemed to flourish in the early warm weather.   Some of them were more beautiful than I could ever remember.

Ah, but that soon ended.   We had 2 1/2 inches of rain Mother's Day week-end and less than 2" since.   We water our plants and finally gave up on the beans as the rabbits liked them too and were much quicker at getting out there than I was.   Now the birds like the tomatoes and so it's never ending.

Summer is definitely here.   And the disasters are mounting.   Wild fires, hurricanes, and draught.  

A nephew in Colorado Springs may loose his beautiful home.   They are safe though and have family they are staying with.   Goodness, so many loosing their homes and nothing they can do about it.

Life goes on it seems, no matter what happens and we learn to go on too.   Sometimes it hurts but the strong find a way to get back in the path of life.
