Joining in "Thousand Words Thursday"

A Thousand Words Thursday - check out the link above. The Mom Jen encourages everyone to post a photo that is worth a thousand words every Thursday.

This is mine today: My firstborn son with his firstborn son.




It's been a rainy week - right now we are enjoying a bit of late afternoon sunshine. The ground is saturated and there are puddles everywhere! I went up to check the garden. The tomatoes and peppers seem to be pretty good so far. My husband will be spreading lawn cuttings in between the rows to mulch the plants. I've never grown potatoes before in a home garden, so I'm not sure if this is what the potato should look like when it starts to grow, or if this one needs to be covered up a bit.



I have a flat of white (rather, cream-colored) marigolds coming tomorrow. They'll be nice to plant between the petunias in front of the house, or I'll plant them in a circle around the stump left behind when we took the crabapple tree down.

Rain again tomorrow and Saturday, and Sunday will be a lovely day! I hope to see my son Dan, his girlfriend Nicole, and the baby. Looking forward to spending time with all of my family. I don't even need to go out to dinner.

I stopped at AC Moore, and with my 50% off coupon, purchased a large skein of cotton yarn to make more kitchen items.

    Love the pics and I am not sure about the potatoes. Maybe you could sacrifice one and dig it up to see how far down the potato actually is. Good luck!

Fighting the Fight Again

I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
