Hello Cuties! I sent this email to a friend earlier and thought I’d share with all of you too.
I have been so busy this week has flown by. Yesterday I hoed about 48 feet. The reason I know, that is the length of my front porch!😉
Today I helped my husband after lunch. We needed to clean AC coils inside our inside unit. Took a while to do that, but I hope it will make a difference.
Monday I started blocks for a new quilt, but haven’t touched it since. I made 42 blocks but it will take 81, I think. It’s easy enough but not sure yet if I’m happy with it. It’s Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company, Double Slice.
I tell you I think my husband and I have been in quarantine too long together. Have you ever watched the movie Steel Magnolias? If you have then you can relate to my story. If you haven't, then go watch that movie! It's about us southern women!
I called my sister and told her my hair was going to start falling out in patches like Weezer’s dog in that movie. I also told her, I have my own Drum.
He (hubby) has squirrels in the garden pulling his corn stalks down, so he went out on the porch and shoots the shotgun to scare them out. I knew he was going to shoot, so I was prepared. Then I forgot about it, because it went a long time, before he shot again. I told her scared me so bad, I almost dropped what I had. Just hope my hair doesn’t falling out like on the movie every time Drum shot! If it scared that poor squirrel half as much as me, he won’t be back!😳
Then yesterday we worked in the yard. I had told him a month ago (sometimes it takes awhile before he’s ready😩) that my wisteria needed TRIMMING. Well he decides a month later to do it..... He butchered my wisteria!😩😩 you can see how big it WAS!😩
Roses are pretty though and I counted 14 itty bitty tomato’s on my plants. Look close. There are two above that big (lol) one. Squint your eyes, they are there!
My monkey grass needs thinning around my yellow lilies, but I don’t dare say. He may interpret it to mean GET RID OF! You can see the other wisteria in the far right background....he TRIMMED that one too. :(
Yes, this week has flown by for me. Hope your days are full and you are all well and safe. Love to all- Toogie
I love your and your sense of humor. You made my day.
Hubby is a man of few words, but a lot of facial expressions. If people think I have a sense of humor, my son-in-law does too. He told my hubby, “Paw-paw when you die we gonna get the undertaker to raise your eyebrows, so you will ‘look natural’😉😂to which my hubby stretched his eyes and raised his eyebrows again🤣🤣🤣
Picture of a Duranta bush.
No joke, I have cut my husbands for years with barber clippers and on occasion cut my own. He helps cut the very bottom edge of mine, neckline area, for me.
I love Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes!
I do not have a husband that destroys however the gardener prunes and sometimes I think he may have killed the plant just to watch it come to live with beautiful bloom.
It looks as if you have a big lot to take care of. Is the first picture the wisteria? Stay save and well.
Yes, the first picture is what is left of the wisteria. I regret no before picture. I’m sure it will come alive again and in consideration he did need to cut poison ivy out of it. Trouble is it twist and vines back on itself so much, the good was cut out with the bad.
He mows about 2 1/2 acres of grass, so in relation to city dwellers I guess it is a lot to mow. I don’t mow or even know how to drive those zero turns.
Out of curiosity, y’all call the area around the house the garden, we call it the yard. We call where we plant the vegetable our garden...what do you call that space?
You yard is gorgeous and those roses are spectacular!
