Oh No! I Did it Again!

I skipped another week! All of the sudden the week is gone, then another, and there is so much that I needed to blog about, since this is the only thing close to a journal that I will ever have! Starting off with....it's a bird, it's a plane....it's

CLEMENTINE! We just love this little guy! Well he is sort of big, but we love him all the same! We have had him for awhile now and he is getting a little lonely now that he has to stay out back or somewhere out of the way since we are WAY to busy to watch him. It is fun to play with him on lunch breaks though!!

For the past little while, it has been impossible to keep nozzles on our hoses, they just up and disappear! No one know where they go but someone has a nice collection of new shinny nozzles! To solve the problem the 4 greenhouse workers now carry around our own nozzles. They are a little cumbersome so I crocheted some little baggies to put them in.

I didn't get a picture of the final product because I dressed them up with ribbon and lettering specific to each waterer! It was great fun!
Easter Sunday has come and gone. I spent it at the parents with Megan and John and Hunter and Abby. Shannon and her girls came out too! I had a great time filling and hiding eggs.

Annie, the fat beagle from next door came over to help Hunter find his eggs

I must remember next year however that the grand kids are a lot shorter than me. That did pose a few problems. Abby showed me some of her trampoline skills and I showed her some of mine, I am glad I still have them!





All in all it was a great time! The cats even enjoyed taking a nice nap in the sunshine since it was a beautiful day!

Last Wednesday was the Tax Rally Tea Party downtown. There were hundreds of people that showed up!



I was surprised because of the bad weather that we were having. It just goes to show that Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, and everyone in between are sick and tired of having their hard earn money abused by our governments appetite to spend. I was saddened by a lot of the uninformed media hype over this peaceful rally! In many states, those out lobbying were pegged as right wing extremists and I hear now that anyone involved in the rallies are a threat to homeland security....ooooohhh....watch out homeland, I might just plant something! They don't call me a tree hugger for nothing! But seriously, it was great to be a part of something that really was a historic event, with over 1 million people across the U. S. participating. I love my country! My grandparents have instilled that in me somehow and I will be forever grateful! No matter how far I travel, it is always so nice to come home to the US of A! You will never know how good you have it until you spend time away from it!

I wanted to go to the tea party but missed it. I am glad you and so many others went to it. I just love your knitting skills - I am thinking that I may have to hire you to knit me something soon - or at least teach me how to do it! =)
