Hearing 70's- sunny-breeze

Monday


       

             My Lantana last year.

I just planted my tomato plants a week or so ago and look what Amanda found on one of them last week!!!      

        

  The name of it is "Bush Goliath".

Amanda and I went up to the house and started cleaning some of the stuff up around it and in it. Whew....you would not believe all the trash that we got up...Amanda got tired quickly, so I told her to go sit down while I finished up.

After I got through with the inside rooms, I went outside and got up allot of the old sheet rock that had been thrown out...I threw a lot of stuff in the garbage can outside....and when I got through filling it up...the lady next door who runs the children's nursery brought me their outside trash can! She even helped me fill it up, bless her heart!

Needless to say...I wore myself out up there.

Kelvin has started painting the railings on the front porch and they are  going to look so good when he gets finished. He has redone all the plumbing and pipes...replaced the kitchen sink faucet...built a hallway to the (only) bathroom so you don't have to go through the bedrooms to reach it...just to mention a few of the things that he and his dad has done so far. Next he has to find the leak on the roof and then we will hopefully start the inside painting.

Here are the railings:

Amanda is doing okay....still being sick to her stomach allot...but otherwise okay...The baby is moving more and more, and she has finally started getting a noticeable pooch in her stomach!

Bless her heart she is also swelling in her feet, legs, face...Thank goodness she only has May and June left...I am trying to talk her into getting her hair cut before she goes into labor! lol Yall please keep praying for her and the baby, okay?

Well..I think I am getting off here and going to bed.....my legs and feet are swollen and I need to put them up a while.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

    Your flowers are just beautiful !! Your house is looking very pretty too. Amanda looks wonderful . She is so pretty .  Hope your feet and legs are better. Good idea to keep them up as much as you can.  What a nice tomato already. That will be sooo good on a sandwich with lots of mayo . lol I love tomato sandwiches, especially home grown ones . Take care and God Bless you all.
