Well I am very pleased to say I didn't have any caffeine for 31 days! I kept up walking every day but I abandoned Twilight pretty early on. To say that work was busy would be the understatement of the year and after work, the farm and no caffeine I was in no mood for Bella Swan. HWC

I have themed glycerin soaps for Spring! I have large chocolate bunny bars, large egg bars with caramel cream scent, small (soapdish size) eggs with lemon verbena scent and herbal rose scented daisies in the soapdish size. They are $5 for a large soap bar and $3 for a small soap bar. Shipping is...

Just want to say my tomatoes--Big Boy and Brandywine orange--are coming right along! They're keeping up with the cauliflower and lettuce sprouts and even with the tiny herbs. It's almost time to take off my Jiffy seed greenhouse lid and watch them really explode. The vining seeds--watermelon...

Haha get out there and hug that tree! We're getting some clippings from some oooolllldddd blackberry bushes that my grandma first bought when my mom was a teen. I'm excited! The mint I'm getting from a lady at work. I don't expect much fruit or berries except from my strawberries this year...

I will keep a very close eye on my little baby tomatoes! I am so proud I want to celebrate in case they keel over in a few days! That Jiffy greenhouse keeps it nice and humid and once every seed has sprouted you take the lid off. Our seeds in the peat pots with no lids haven't yet sprouted but...

Oh my gosh I checked the seeds this evening--they were started on Saturday--and some of my rainbow mix of bell peppers and BOTH tomato varieties are already teeny tiny sprouts. I'm using the Jiffy seedstarting greenhouse under gro lights. If my seedlings fail for any reason I plan to buy started...

When so many bad things are coming from so many angles, it's easy to give up. Right now I am keeping an eye on several interest groups and associations that can and do greatly effect my daily life. When some of these situations calm down then I'll start paying attention to Monsanto. Injustices...

Spring means walking outside and smelling flowers no matter where I am! It's the blooming magnolia trees and garden centers full of tulips and pansies. It's a tiny break from mud and dreary cold. Unfortunately it's also mean male guineas and ticks! HWC

Some fruit trees and berry bushes don't fruit in their first year. Perhaps that's the case with your tree? HWC

We just started our tomato seeds--orange Brandywine and Big Boy--so I don't have advice or experience yet but I hope they're not that bad :/ now I'm scared. HWC

I have used up all of my grow lights that I ordered and I want my sunflowers up soon as I plant--April 15--so is there lighting I can buy locally or a lighting trick I can use for a few flats to get them started? HWC

We are (insanely) planting tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, several different bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, carrots, beets, radishes, carrots, potatoes, corn, 3 varieties of Squash, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, Japanese Walnut...

We just bought some flowers to plant in the front part of the yard, some red and yellow tulips, white daffodils, purple hyacinth and bulbs/roots for Cala lilies and bleeding hearts. It's not quite time for veggies, berries or trees yet so we have time to play. This time of year always reminds me...

Well I'm keeping up without too much struggle. I'm through chapter two and half into three as of now. I have a hard time "relating" to Bella, a girl who has boys fighting over her even though she's clumsy, frumpy--by her own admission--and has the personality of a nauseous warthog. If only I'd...

Sounds like everything's going well! Good job! HWC

I noticed one thing a few pages later in the book where it mentions the truck smelling of "tobacco, gasoline and peppermint" and it struck me as something very accurate. Both my father and uncle have old trucks that smell exactly like this. Before this August I hadn't seen either of them for...

Not much of an update. No caffeine today and I've been walking a lot because our new silkie hens--Ruby, Agate and Obsidian--made it through quarantine and were placed into the coop with everyone else and suddenly Ruby has a runny nose and is coughing. So I ran around finding meds. Then I decided...

We had a man come and do a speech on it and no one had read it but a few of us. It's not really taught due to the content. The Disney movie Song of the South which has a lot of basis in the book is actually banned. We purchased a DVD copy from Europe for my grandma who has no idea it's banned or...

Good luck Deb! I'll be watching your progress and cheering for you! Lets do some muscle-reading! HWC

Good luck! I think next month--April 1--I'll try the creative thing. I really need to get back to some things I've been neglecting. You inspired me! HWC
