Ten days until the end of May, and 2 ladies at the hair shop say it is to go to -5 degrees tonight.
Actually this a.m. got up to 15.8 or so and we sat out on the east side of the porch to peel the glad bulbs. Later we went into to town for Jake's beard trim and hair cut. And did a few other errands including groceries, stopped by to see Art and Hilda but no answer there.
So we came home around 4pm.
So far onon 222 hills of potatoes in and 200 onions. But when we plant glads we will likely plant 400-500 unless I give some bulbs away, and the vegetable seeds were sorted last night--the ones I might plant. Picked up 2 packages of carrot seeds today as we had none.
To all the gardeners-- a successful gardening season

Mother's day Bouquet

This lovely bouquet was presented to me last evening by Chuck and Michelle.

We finally got down to Beaumont for a visit.

Went out to BP to celebrate Chuck and Michelle's 9th anniversary--13 days early for that, but about a week or

more late for Chuck's BD.

There is another rose away above the ones in the picture here.

Heavy Papers

Picture shows a very few of the inserts we had for the papers this week

Covers were added to them Tuesday.

All shelves and tables had already been used for Monday's papers.

This was probably the heaviest week we have had for six months. The section showing is the Garden Section.

On lighter weeks we dont strap these up just to sit on the shelves but they need to be when this large or they fall over.

Jake gathered up many branches.
