Who else but Kelly could have a picture like this. I saw this in her journal last night and I just had to show it to you.  Kelly I hope that it is alright for me to do this.  Here is the link to Kelly's journal if you would like it.  The Chicken Chronicle    DAD.

                         Time is so precious-do not waste it.

Good Morning.

I am so glad that this  is saturday morning. We sure had a stressful time the past week, but that is in the past now, we are just glad that we were able to come through it with a smile. Our computer is not completly repaired yet but it will be early monday morning. Had to wait on parts.

I am watching the weather very close, I sure would like to be out in that tomato garden early tuesday morning, but I just don't know about the weather. Here at 5:50 this morning the tempeature is says 62

I seem to be worring more about those tomatoes than I do of you. I should have ask about you before I even thought about a tomato, but you have known Dad long enough to know how he is feels about tomatoes. Now I would like to know how you are feeling ? I guess for myself that I would have to say just fair. But I hope that after a good sunday morning meeting that I will feel better.

I have plenty of tea and coffee ready and I will be home all day, so stop in any time that you can.


"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up."

I don't know the writer of the thought above, but thanks to someone.  DAD

How to Choose Good Tomato Plants for Transplanting by Flirting - TomatoCasual.comPart Two: Sowing the Seeds of Love (See Part One)

By Kira Hamman

Now that you’ve ordered your seeds, it’s time to get ready to plant.

First, assemble the things you’ll need:
• A flat of teeny pots for starting the seeds. Get one that comes with a tray to sit in that will catch drips.
• Larger (2”) pots for transplanting.
• If you live in a cold region, even larger (4”) pots for transplanting again (if you ever have snow in April, then you live in a cold region).
• Sterile seed-starting mix.
• Good-quality potting soil.
• A spray bottle for water.
• A supplementary light source – this does not have to be an official grow light, but has to be adjustable so you can keep it about 4 – 5 inches above the seedlings as they grow.

Once the seeds actually arrive, Read the rest of this entry »

We will begin our picture album the day that we get the first plant in the ground, and then you can follow its growth the entire season.

    It has been some time since I visited your journal as I have been on the computer very little the last several years.     My back problem was finally treated as my surgery on April 3 is doing well.    I have had a number of J-land people that I did not know before send me their encouragement that I need to visit today as it is getting easier for me to sit on the stool in front of my computer.    I had not been making entries in my journal except for every several month's.     The photo of the chicks is wonderful that you posted.    I wish you a great Sunday and an enjoyable week ahead in your garden.     mark

    Hi, Dad.  I've lost two loved ones this week so I'm not my best, but just wanted to say hi and wish you, Ms. Mary, and the lovely Princess a good weekend.
