Just a few updates.

Gardening is starting later this year, due to come very cold weather. We had a heavy frost last night and a hard feeeze Friday night. It looks like we might have yet one more night in the upper 30's in about 10 more days, that is as far out as the weather can predict and they are not right very often. I am in hopes that they are not right on this one, as well.

The Greenhouse is about half way assembled.  I hope to finish it tomorrow and then get some seeds started.  I want to test some seeds and start some for my garden boxes at the community garden. Just not sure how many I will be able to do, right now. 

Both my Hubby and I have had a few minor health issues to deal with over the last few weeks. We hope we have everything under control.  WE do hope to get some good news, Health wise, soon.

video on rose cuttings in water

I got some rose cuttings from around the Senior Center and have put them in water, in hopes of making rose bushes.  I am trying the way it was done in this video

It is NOT my fideo.

Life in general, has been an up and down.  Hubby has had some health issues, that we are dealing with, and I think he may be on the mend, now. 

It has been either too cold, or two windy to do any garden work,  and I have not even looked at my seeds to see how many cups I am going to need in order to set up a few of each kind of seed. (that is my plan)

With Hubby having to be "Off his feet", I have had to take back the cooking and most of taking care of the dogs. He taking care of them, only if he is up already. 

Of course the normal household chores have to be taken care of, dishes and sweeping and laundry and such. 

I am slowing down a bit and that is frustrating me, as I just can not seem to get as much done and I use to just two years ago. 

I finished my classes on using the Chromebook and I just used it to send an e-mail to the person who conducted the class, about the community garden start up for this year. We plan on having a meet and greet next weekend and try to clean out and inventory the  garden shed, while we are at ti.  I think I will be taking some paper and a dark pen to keep notes on, about what we have, what we need and who wants to help.   

I am wanting to plant a few things on the other side of the driveway and start to make it "our's".  

The late frost last weekend and again last night, may have taken out the Apple tree.  I know all the Tulip trees or Tulip Magnolias have lost all their blooms. The cold even stunted the cottonwood trees and some of them are already losing their blooms. Others are already turning green without the white blossoms showing off their beauty.  How each season and each year, comes in different and the changes can be so different from year to year.

Weekly notes.

We are enjoying spending some extra time at the Senior Center. Playing cards and on the two days I have computer class we also play either cards or Corn Hole with Linda. I am learning more short cuts to get things done with the Chrome book, and teaching those short cuts to others. I Enjoy doing these things and I hope We can figure out away to have a follow up class for everyone every once in a while.

Jerry bought me a folding table so I can "craft" in the living room. I had one, but he needed a table for his HAM radio and I offered him mine. I was using a piano bench, but it was too low and too small for me to be comfortable while I tried to craft either cards or to paint any rocks. It is a bit close to the heater, but we are almost out of the heating season and I can deal with that. Rascal is still being a bully on Rocky and Barney still gets between them both, to stop it. Rocky just puts up with it. and tries to walk away, until Rascal "pushes" him around. At 16, Rocky just does not what to play any more. He eats, sleeps and goes outside to relieve himself.  That is about all he does, any more. Barney, on the other hand. Will still play. He still chases a ball, hoards all the toys and will play Tug Of War with Rascal when the tope toy is inside.
