Taking a little break

Right about now it's a little hard to keep the blog up with all that's going on with my health here of late.....I'll be popping in every once in a while to see what's going on with others....In the meantime enjoy the rest of the summer....wish I were at the beach. Ginny B.

It's sheer Hell not having a Pepsi!

My Dr has taken me off any artificial sweeteners..and also my "Diet Pepsi"....I'm supposed to have only water with a little lemon< Is she kidding me!
I've done it now for three days ....the water is good , but let me tell you..As soon as I'm feeling a little better...I'm popping that Pepsi Cork Honey with a glass full of ice...whoa mama I can't wait...Dr doesn't live her and Cecil would be afraid to betray me ...if he wants breakfast :o)
I've read somewhere that Honey is a natural and isn't harmful to diabetics, can anyone confirm that for me? I'm dying over here without having something besides water and I'm allergic to Milk, craps!and Tea without some in it to make it sweet craps again!

I'm tired but the Garden isn't ,it's giving a good harvest from this "Almost an Acre"farm :o)

Here's a group waiting to be put on the window sill....they are small and some tasty little fellows despite their name "Big Boy"...getting them ready for the freezer is so easy....just wash,cut off the top, then cut in half and drop into the baggie....if you don't get greedy and try the tasting every other one trick , :o) I love them with mayonnaise< that's a little feast to me....better than a slice of cake...
These will be just right come fall for some soup, or okra and tomatoes on top of some rice...or make a "Southern Dish" my mother in law used to make..."Stewed tomatoes" I think they are delicious

Tomatoes Tomatoes every where :o)

Cecil and I are so proud of these tomatoes...they are rather small to be named "Big Boy" but maybe the name is because they are big on growing ..especially for those who have "Almost an Acre" ( I just love putting that in there :o)
So far I've put about six healthy quart bags of them in the freezer...they are small but very meaty and sweet...and Cecil has been picking a handful every day ...by the time they sit on the windowsill the next day they are so nice and ripe....I'd love to put them into a jar....but I don't feel up to fooling with that for now....I've got some more Watermelon Rinds on the way to be pickled....and my Pear tree is so full I've lost two branches from it this year...the Dwarf Pear tree can't take the weight of the pears...somehow the Dwarf trees isn't strong enough to hold a full limb....No matter ...the other one has a few and I know where to go to get more if need be...

Getting back to normal< such as it it!

Thanks to those that missed me blogging....I've had to gather up some energy from whatever it was that was ailing...just tired without doing anything that mattered.
I've got loads of things waiting to be done...laundry is always with me almost better than ole Arthur Ritis < Arthur loves me as much or maybe more than Cecil , sometimes he's a pain in the "you know what" I get so sick of him sometimes...he is always all over me. can't get a break from him no matter what you do...he even has the nerve to follow me even into the shower.. Now don't you think that's a little too brazen?....One of these days ..I'm gonna find something to get rid of him! He doesn't like it when I knit, makes him so dizzy he has to leave me alone for a bit :o)...When I lift my leg to weave ...he gets a little madder cause it makes him fall off :o) and the knees get a good laugh at him...but ole Arthur is a persistant ole cuss! he tries to stop me from sleeping at night...won't let me turn over without giving me a whack and he doesn't care where...he almost makes me cuss!!

Hibiscus Baby growing

You can barely see the Hibiscus Baby! I don't remember which post it was that I showed you all the Hibiscus babies I was trying to grow...well, they all died except the one I decided to stick in a stand that's near the back door....and each time I passed it , I would give it a little pat and tell it to grow like the weeds....well she has been doing that, but there is weed growing nearby in the pot also..and I think the little weedie thought I was talking to it.It's trying to outshine the Hibiscus baby....well, as soon as Hibiscus baby grows a little bigger I'm going to take "weedie" out of there ..He isn't welcome!

Blooming Hibiscus, I'm late again!

This Bush is an early bird....if I don't get the picture before 11am it has bloomed and the flowers have fallen to the ground.....I've been trying for three days to catch her for a good shot....guess I just can't get there soon enough...watching the "View" at 11am keeps me straddled to the chair...some good topics come up and I can't tear myself away! One of these mornings I'm gonna get her:o)
