Spring is Finally Here!

Well okay so I am loving the warmer weather, however it is supposed to get cold again this weekend. Not looking forward to that, but it will be better than the colder temps we were having a month ago, when they were calling for snow every week! I'm just excited because I am really looking forward to planting some tomatoes. I love fresh tomatoes, they are nothing like the store bought kind. I tried growing some a few years ago when I was living at home with my parents and the squirrels there would pick them and eat them right in front of me. One time one of the squirrels picked one then went underneath the front of my car and ate the tomato while looking right at me. The squirrel was holding it with both of his tiny little hands and took bite after bite, spitting the peeling out. That squirrel had some nerve. I just stood there gaping at this animal. I really wished I had had my video camera handy, because I would have loved to videoed that little incident. The squirrels would pick them while they were still small and green. Needless to say I was not very successful at growing tomatoes that year. I have grown them back in the past and I had great success back then. I sure hope I can get some good ones to grow this year. I tried last year with those topsy turvey planters, what a joke. That didn't work. I think it does work well with the cherry tomatoes but not the bigger tomatoes. I want the big beefsteak tomatoes. I hope to start my little garden in a couple of weeks.

Time Flies!

I cannot believe it has been so long since I have updated my blog! Well let's see what has happened in the past couple of weeks. No more jump roping, I'm sad, that was so easy, the easiest exercise I've ever done. However I am finally walking normal again. It really hurt my knees something fierce. I did get out my exercise mat and I will try that, I probably need new shoes, I have had these walking shoes for some time. I am excited that the weather is getting warmer, soon, and the time will change on the 14th of this month. I'm loving that. That means I can start walking again, in the neighborhood, I really enjoy doing that. Okay I can't think of anything that has happened that is significant, all we have been doing is school, work, school, work, for all of us in this house! My Uncle did pass away on 25 February, he lived a good long life, he was 82. This was my Dad's younger brother, my Dad is a couple years older than him and thankfully my Dad is in good health. Thank you Lord! We hope to have him around for quite a few more years.

I hope to plant some tomato plants soon, this year I want to have some real home grown tomato's. I tried the topsy turvey last year that didn't go so well. This year I will try a large planter.
