 My weekend started with my coffee on the deck. It was a really cool morning. Then I came in  got ready and headed out  of town. HAHA That sounds funny to say, 'out of town" when it is  an hour and 30 mins away,  but I really couldn't say I  headed back to my stomping grounds, when I actually  was going past my old stomping grounds. I wanted to spend some time with my brothers and sis in laws. So, off I went.  Before heading to Ray's, once I got to Lebanon, I stopped at the rehab store. Then headed on over to Rays. When I got there my niece, Jessica, her hubs and my great niece Evie was waiting on me. Isn't she a doll? Just turned a yr old. Three generations, Jessica, Evie and  my SIL Lori. My first meeting of Evie and I. Tried to get the camera on in time to get Marshall drinking from the spray, with his nose right up there, so surprised he did not suck water up his nose. That is my older brother, Ray with Marshall. I wanted to see my brothe...

Fossil Soup, Honeycomb, Horn Coral, Flowerbed

  So, I was doing what I seem be  be able to do so well, sitting on my rear looking at rocks. I need HELP!! Actually, I had been getting some together for my oldest brother Ray so since I am heading that way on Sat. I wanted to check things. I love rocks like this. They are called  Fossil Soup. That is a rock that contains more than, usually several different types of fossils. Same as below. This piece I found months and months ago, I love this piece. It is a honeycomb coral.  In a lot of coral you will see crystals. This one has shinney crystals in it. You know I have been doing the  ROCK thing for over a yr now when I had a load of dirt dumped in the yard and realized it was full of fossils.  I have been finding things but  the internet couldn't always answer the question as to what it was. FB pages could not answer it either. But yesterday it hit me like   a piano falling on my head. Most of the things I was finding in my yard, I have real...

FlowerBED, Right vs Left or Left vs Right Foot, The Bite, Passing Bad Genes,

Image
  The WILDFLOWER bed is looking good.      The flowers are popping up  already and they are  growing fast. However,  although what I threw out was a mix of flowers that I mixed, only two types of flowers seem to  be coming up. Last yr it seemed to take FOREVER  before things started to show, so I am hoping different  plants will find its way to  the outside world.   Not only flowers, I have a couple of these popping up also. Funny, how things like this grow, weeds grow, and yet I have areas where I still can't get grass to grow. Those of you that have been following me for awhile know that I am sort of like an  accident just waiting to happen. Well, this happened when I was hanging brackets for the  solar lights on the shed. I dropped a bracket and on  its way to the ground, it hit  my right foot. Here you will see the left foot. The little sores happened when walking around the  yard in flippers. Eithe...

Thank You, Girls, Set Up and Show

  Headed out on Friday to  go and set up for the craft show when  I looked over to see this in  front of my shed. Getting closer I see a card. From Deborah, neighbor on the  right side of me. I noticed that the  grass had gotten high, and that is not like Deborah. She usually keeps up on  that. But she was out of down and I  saw her hubs get out of the  mower twice, but then stopped. Figured there was an issue  with the mower, so Monday before my doc appt., I got their yard and  my front done. Wasn't that sweet of her? I have been really enjoying my morning coffee on the deck. The other morn I had Lily gracing my presence.  Matter of fact, she is being needy this morning, Sunday, and she is with again, on the daybed, purring. Friday while I was starting to chill and  before the sunset all the way, I sat down on the bed and looked over into the cat window entering into the dining room. Sitting there on the stool, watching h...
