New Blooms
Butterfly Bush (Buddleja) This is in the new wildflower bed that were all from seed. I don’t know what this is, shaped like a star Baby’s Breath, also in the wildflower bed
What’s Going On
My life’s been very busy, which is good. helps keep my mind from roaming around. Starting with Memorial Day weekend. We took a quick trip to NY for Brylee’s 5th birthday party. We left VA at 4 am so there was no traffic. Coming back we left at 11 pm, no traffic. The party was […]
Monthly Weigh In- June ‘25
142.2 lbs. Very surprised. I haven’t been consistent on the bike because of being outside gardening.
Blueberries
I bought 2 Blueberry bushes shorty after moving in. We bought a third one at a flea market soon after. They are approximately 10 years old. I first planted them in the raised bed that is now the herb garden. Too many bugs and birds were getting to them so I replanted them in large […]

Has to be Said
For everything I do and everywhere I go, I’m in pain. I don’t mention it in my posts unless it stops me cold. My neck went out again two weeks ago that I’m still dealing with. I can’t stand for more than ten minutes. I wake up with my hips aching, throbbing with pain. I […]
