Hey JoAnn, well I don't know about harvesting to much to soon. We've had so much rain, they kinda stopped growing. Weird, I guess they got water logged. But my tomatoes are starting to pop out. I have them in a topsy turvey on my patio. So far that little thingy seems to be working okay. I was afraid to buy more than two, wasn't sure if they really worked to well or not.

My feet are doing much better. The herb seems to be doing the trick. My FIL kept on me about taking it, until I finally agreed too. Glad that I listened to him, but don't tell him that he was right.........haha........kidding. Well I need to get a few things done before work today. Take care dear friend, chat with you later.

JoAnn, I was so disappointed when I seen the dates...its the exact time we will be gone on vacation...go figure. Oh, well. Hope you enjoy the weekend my friend.

Good Morning JoAnn, how is your garden doing? Mine is taking off pretty good. I have lots of green peppers and cucumbers this year. We love cucumbers, plus I can make relish with it. It's my favorite kind. Hope all is well your way. Take care.

Hey JoAnn, Loved the poem LOL...I just had to ask. Today is a humid and rainy one...my garden should love it.

I wish I could have seen the balloons. It sounds so beautiful. Im so glad that you and Dh got to enjoy them. Sometimes we all need a nice break like that. I had to laugh at you being so prepared...two cameras. Sounds like something I would do. I think I might try to go to the Ashland one. It depends on when it is next month. We are going to visit my sister in KY soon...its our only vacation this year. Dh says we may go camping, but the last 2 years it hasnt worked out. Well, stay dry. Talk to you soon!

Hey JoAnne,

Miss you lady! I know we are all busy with the warmer weather LOL. You better post some of those pictures of the air balloons. I have never seen one up close. How neat. You will have to let me know how it is going.

The garden is growing...a little slower than normal, but growing. I am having some trouble with the lettuce so I replanted. My dd cherry tomato plant has blossoms and the raspberry bush is getting ready too! My dd has her own box and it always does better then the rest LOL. She has chives, cherry tomatoes, and banana peppers...her favorites. She will sit and eat the chives while she weeds...smells lovely LOL.

Today is the Miss Ohio parade. The block our street and all the way down to the main square. Its kind of neat to watch. They are suppose to have the clydesdales this year.

My back seems to be getting better. I know I dont listen very well. I just hate to see a dr when I know that they will put me through a lot of tests just to tell me what I know. I have ostio (spelling?) in my lower back and neck. I have been through all the test and that is what the bone specialist said. I think it was because I was allergic to milk. Anyhow, I think I will look for a pilates class this week to help strengthen my back. Eventually I will probably be hunched over and in a wheel chair, but I am too stubborn to give up. Thank you for being a good friend and worrying about me.

So how have things with you been? How does your garden grow? LOL Write when you got time...I ramble too much! Later girl!

Morning JoAnn,
Thanks for your concern. Your a one of a kind friend. My feet seem to be going better now. The Hydranga seems to be working very well. If you take any other meds, make sure it's okay to take the herb with it. Some herbs don't mix well with meds. I talked to the doctors office and told them that I would not be back to that office again. I'm very angry with them right now. I ask them what they were going to charge me for a treatment that didn't work. They wouldn't anwser my question. I don't know what that means.......guess I'll find out. Anyhow, hope all is well you and your family. Take care dear friend.

Hey JoAnn, you luck dog. My strawberries kicked the bucket last year and I had to replant this year...It will be a little while before I can make jam. I have not been able to get into the garden since my back is still out. It is feeling better so maybe tomorrow. Glad you had a great weekend. I think sometimes we do need to just kick back and do nothing...good for the soul LOL

DD room is coming along... of cours dh did a lot of work. I still have a few little things, but I think she will love her "more grown up" room. Sigh...I just don't know if I'm ready for it.

Well, I am rambling...talk to you soon! Dont work too hard!

LOL I hope you do pay attention to orders soon. I know how it feels.

I love my garden too. I cant wait for it to dry up a bit so I can get out and work it. I love the way the soil feels and smells. I just hope my back cooperates...yes its still out. I feel like a mess. It had me a little depressed yesterday, but I feel better today. I hope you can get pictures of your little garden friend LOL Well, I am chatty too. You take care my friend and have a great day.

Hey JoAnn! I had to laugh at your bunny. I had one last year that only ate at one head of cabbage...so I just left it there and it didnt touch anything else. My spinich is coming up. I just wish we had some sunny days.

I bet your job gets a bit depressing at times. I dont know how you do it. When I worked at the schools I got down sometimes because of the way the kids were living...you get to see what happens to them when they get a little older. You just keep watching the garden and dont let them get you down! And have a wonderful day! (orders from a friend )
