Seed Starting

Good morning everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all have a great day.

Today is exciting for me as I am starting the first of the 2024 garden seeds!

The cabbage seeds I started,

Broccoli and

Peppers!

I also wanted to share my newest garden bed I made.  I really like it! I will be making another one just like it to go on the other side of the table and chairs.

I finished Grace’s hat. I am giving it to her as a valentine’s day gift. I made the pom pom myself. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Jess sent me this picture of Daniel the other day. Just look at how grown up he looks!

God bless!

A Great Deal

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a good day.

I wanted to share what a great deal we got yesterday. I am planning on building two new raised beds this year up in the garden. We went over to Christiansburg to Home Depot to get some supplies I needed for the raised beds. And we found this!!!

I could not believe it! I never come across this type of savings.

We got 10 bags of the soilā¤ also got the other supplies I needed and

Grace got us some paint for the kitchen. I also stopped by Dollar Tree and got some flower seeds.

We ended our trip with a treat.

God bless!

Another Beautiful Day

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a good day. Our weather has been beautiful here today.

One of my favorite things to on days like today is to work in the garden. Today I removed two old tires that I was using as flower beds.

I also worked on cleaning out some more raised beds.

Beautiful day!

Good morning! I hope you have all been having a great week.

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day. Temperatures got up to the low 60’s! This was really nice considering for about a week our low temperatures were single digits. We had a small snow which was really nice but the temperature was really cold. We had some minor frozen water pipes but, praise God, nothing serious.

As it was such a beautiful day, I did a little work up in the garden. I am doing a little different garden design this year. I will post updates and pictures as the project progresses.

The trellis over the big swing fell over. This project has been moved over to my Dave to-do list as it is too heavy for Grace and I to move.

I also made Grace this hat.

That’s all for now. I hope you all have a great weekend. God bless!

Christmas 2023

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day! Grace and I had a really nice Christmas.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NfRmTZqjemc&t=1062s I made Grace this cocoon sweater and fingerless gloves to match. The design is from the above link. I want to make her a hat to match but I have to get more yarn. I think she really liked it.

The rest of Grace’s gifts from me

My gifts from Grace. She made me the cute frog. I named him Walter. She got me beautiful yarn from Premier yarn. I have wanted to try their yarn for a long time. She also got me a $50 gift certificate from Hoss Tools and made the envelope to put the certificate in. I love it allā¤

Juicy had a great day as well. He loves all the paper from opening gifts. He is now helping Grace put together her Lego set.

I made a peach pie using the crust recipe I posted yesterday. It turned out really good.

We haven’t got to do our Christmas with the Bates family yet. They are all sick! It felt so strange and sad to not do Christmas eve with them. We always exchange gifts and eat a wonderful meal together on Christmas eve. We are praying they get better quickly.

It is raining this morning and I am sitting out on the glassed in porch crocheting on my newest project and enjoying the sound of the rain on the tin roof.

My boy is keeping me company. God bless!
