It's Saturday this time

And this is why I don't do blogs. I start one, forget about it, and then come back months later. The "To-Do" list isn't completed once again but I did have a lovely day. It started it a beautiful grapefruit from a friend's tree, picking up my veggie and fruit basket, then shopping with a good friend. I scored some cute white sandals and a new black purse.

I have one more grapefruit for tomorrow and then it's yard work time!!!

Sunday evening

It's dinner time on Sunday which means,
The sun is going down
My "to do" list isn't going to get done
I have to go back to work tomorrow

Everything this weekend took longer than expected. Today starts a new week with new adventures.

Trees

The garden is looking great! (pictures coming soon)


I am off to the nursery to get some bare root and citrus trees. I'm thinking peaches and oranges. Mmmmmmm!

ART-ish

Unfortunately I had to miss a baby shower of a close friend of mine but fortunately that gave me time to make her some more Seuss pictures for the baby's room. She is doing a Seuss theme and I just love drawing up the Seuss characters. Luckily for me, March is just around the corner and I will be able to draw as many pictures as I want for Read Across America week.

My Growing Hobbies

I continue to adopt hobbies. Some work out and some end before they've been started. My newest project is a chicken coop. The coop is almost done but I just couldn't wait to get the chicks. They're in the garage and just the cutest things ever! I brought home four different kinds; a buff (yellow),  a rhode island red (red/brown), a sex link (mostly black), and another one that I'll have to wait until it's a bit older to tell what it is.

So far I've learned that chicks don't like to be held or separated.

The Goof Troop

I had a friend house sit and take care of my pets when I was out of town. When I returned she had named the circus of animals "The Goof Troop". And it stuck! But that's really what we have around here. A crazy amount of pets that keep growing

Members of the Goof Troop include:

My pups- Buddy and Penny

My cats- Oden and RIP

And my chickens- Elvira, Dinah, Auntie Em, and Sunnyside.

The chicks are the newest addition to my crazy goof troop but they fit the criteria.

The Goof Troop makes me laugh every day! You can expect more pictures of them, new and old!

Here we go again!

This is my second or third attempt at a blog. I can't remember anymore. I've always thought I had something to write about or share..... but I didn't. Until now, well and I've canceled my facebook account so I need a time waster and a place to share.

It will be interesting for me. I'm not writing to anyone. Just to cyber space. I keep reminding myself that it's like keeping a journal except it's not private. Sheesh. That's a scary thought.
