Ora's Odd Oddessey - part 2

Just wanted to check in....we have had awesome weather here for the past few days...windy....a little rain...sunshine...and 70's temps....wonderful weather....

hubby and I decided it was time to clean the garage....it had become a real mess as that is where all the materials for the renovation of the bathroom/laundry room...were stored...now just a jumble of stuff....we backed the trailer up to the garage door...and the first bunch went to goodwill....the second bunch went to the landfill....the third bunch is put away...or packed away...separated into containers marked...sure looks nice now...we even pulled the side by side fridge out and cleaned it out...along with the upright freezer....nice to be able to find things now...and from the looks of it all I won't have to buy much in the way of veggies or meat...and the upright will be ready for some frozen veggies....will taste good this winter...right????

grand dau has had volleyball camp and conditioning this week....grandson has had baseball camp....both had physicals...nice to get that stuff out of the way...the pool is getting a work out every day...and I try to squeeze in a time or two for myself LOL...usually later in the evening...LOL..

my topsy turvy tomato plants are doing nicely...got lotsa blooms...looking for tomatoes soon....I put cherry tomatoes in one and big boy in the other....everyone has a comment to say abut them...but we did have to move them from to much sun to under the tree where they get shaded sun all day...

I have about five clematis vines in myyard...one on the mailbox out front...one covering an old plow that was given to me long ago...and one that is about five years old in the patio flower bed...and two small ones...(which haven't bloomed as yet)....I really love to watch them...they do attract butterflies and hummingbirds...(but I have to much activity going on in my yard all day for the hummingbirds to be hanging around)...but every once in a while I spot one...they are so sweet....

well guess this is enough for today....think of you all lately...many have family illness...many have illness of their own...and my prayers are for you each one always....hugs...Ora

  I love clematis.  They don't do well in shade, do they?  I have a spot I'd love to put some in, but it's very shady.

  I luv the clamatis.  I saw one on a mailbox about a month ago and it was beautiful.  I did not know what it was.  Now I Know.  I will try to remember it for next year so I can get one.  I want something that will climb on a trellis but not be too heavy.  I think I will try the clamitis.                               Marlene

  My topsy turvy tomatoe has almost died for lack of water since I've been sick.  I love your flowers.
