                                    Dad  &  Ted.

Picture by Mary,   5/02/08.

                                                 Time is so precious-do not waste it.

Good Morning.

I am trying to be real quite this morning, I don't want to disturb you to early, you remember that this is saturday and some of us are not working again untill monday. So pull that cover up over your head and get a little more rest.

I am going ahead and get the tea and coffee ready and then you are welcome to stop in at your convenience any time today and have a cup with me, I like to talk to you every day.

Now about the pictures above, I have talked to you a lot about Ted and Jessica my next dood neighbors, Mary took this picture of us yesterday morning, Jessica was not with us but maybe we can get a picture of her later. I wanted a picture of us down in the tomato gardem but we did not have time for that.

I have already told you much of what these  two mean to us, they help us so much and are always there when we need them, We are so thankful that they are our friends,  DAD.

We are still enjoying good warm tomato growing weather. At 4:20 a.m. it is 69. And we had a high yesterday of 81. Be watching for those pictures showing the growth of the plants soon.

THIS ABOVE IS INTERESTING TODAY, DAD  

A nice plant that one of Mary's high School friends gave to her recently. It is a cutting of a plant in her friend's garden~~~Sedum~~~Mary has set it out. It is a lovely plant.

Hardening Off Tomato Seedlings for Transplanting

Tomato SeedlingsBy Michelle Fabio

When it comes time to transfer your seedlings outside (whether to the ground or a container), you don’t want to just drop them out there all of a sudden into the elements without preparing them first.

This preparation is called hardening off—toughening up your baby plants so they can grow into big plants with fabulous tomatoes.

You want to get them used to the light, wind, and temperatures outside gradually before they make the big move.

Here are some common methods for hardening off your tomato plants: Read the rest of this entry »

These baby chicks have been looking good, see what they look like this morning. Here is the link . 

 

 And be sure tha you check THE EAGLES  It has been a pleasure for me to watch them, Let's thank the ones who are showing them to us. I have learned a few lessions from watching them.

This is going to be my thought for the weekend. It was sent to me by my good friends, Jerry and Nancy. Its a lot to think about and it is all good. Dad.

How To Plant Your Garden


FOR THE GARDEN OF YOUR DAILY LIVING:

 

PLANT THREE ROWS OF PEAS:

1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

 

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF SQUASH:

1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF LETTUCE:

 

1. Lettuce be faithful

2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4.
Lettuce really love oneanother

NO GARDEN IS WITHOUT TURNIPS:

1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

TO CONCLUDE OUR GARDEN WE MUST HAVE THYME:

1. Thyme for yourself

2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends

  And I would make this # 1 on this list which is the most important of all. " Have time for God. "

Time for self should always be last.

WATER FREELY WITH PATIENCE AND CULTIVATE WITH LOVE.  THERE IS MUCH FRUIT IN YOUR GARDEN BECAUSE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.


Look Rock

Purchase  Knob


I hope that you will look at these often, because I am going to have a few interesting things there.

Dad's Tomato Garden

Dad's Songbird and Rose Garden

Dad's Fried Green Tomatoes


I hope that you will go on down and read the rest of Dad's story, there are lots of good things there and many more to be added as we have the time,  Love you and will see you early on monday morning. Keepon smiling.  Dad.

    Great pic of you and Ted. I am so glad they are able to be there for you and help you out. I hope those tomato plants have been growing over the weekend. I am looking forward to seeing them this week. Ian finally got the garden tilled this past weekend, so we will be planting very soon. I am going to get me some tomato plants this coming weekend to put in the garden along with all that he is planting. Love, Kelly

    So nice to see you and your neighbor and friend relaxing, Dad.  That's what weekends are for!  Good neighbors are worth their weight in gold -- I know, I have some wonderful ones next door to me, and good ones up and down the street and across the street, as well.  They make all the difference between living somewhere and liking it, and just staying somewhere because you have to live somewhere.  

    That tomato education is sure informative -- I never knew about all of that, and it seems it might work well for other plants, too, what do you think?

    Have a wonderful day tomorrow, my best to you all, and big PURRS to the pretty fluffy Princess! ^^

    Hey Dad!  I'm so glad your neighbor is there for you.  I just wish that WE were your neighbors.   We'd look after you...and you would look out for us too!

    Love,
    nancy
