Time is so precious-do not waste it.
Good Morning.
We made it through monday very well so whats to worry about this morning ? Every thing look very good at this spot on the earth and I hope that it is the same with you wherever you are. Let's all try to make a good start this morning, we know the things that we should do before we go out into this cold cruel world. now let's do them.
We are still haveing about the same kind of weather, warm, windy and wet, But I am not complaining, it seems to be making those tomatoes grow.

Some might say that I have an extreme interest in frugality and simple living, largely because I feel a spiritual connection with the Earth.
There is no more profound experience for me than to spend time with my hands in the dirt, nurturing seeds into seedlings and seedlings into plants that then return the favor by nourishing me.
You probably have a mental image of me with long stringy hair and a tie-dyed t-shirt, but I assure you that I’m not the stereotypical hippie who might normally talk this way.
The bottom line is that I believe there are less expensive and often entirely free ways of doing things, and I feel that it is my responsibility to find them and share the information with others.
One good example of this is my penchant for seed collecting and saving. Every year I take great care to collect seeds from my vegetable plants – especially the heirlooms – and I store and label them so that I will be able to sow new crops the following year without spending the first penny on seeds or seedlings.
I haven’t had the need to purchase a single tomato for any purpose in nearly eight years, and aside from the obvious nutritional and taste value (have you seen those anemic looking hothouse things in the store?), I realized that I have saved hundreds, probably closer to thousands of dollars over the years by not wasting money on produce.
Does that make me a hippie, smart or just plain cheap?
I’ll leave that for you to decide.
Very interesting link above. Turn your speakers on. Dad.

I spent some time yesterday watching THE EAGLES it was so interesting watching the care that they were giving their baby, feeding it and watching it's every move. I can see a lot of growth in the baby eagle.

That is such a beautiful picture of blossoms your friend Vicki sent, Dad! And it's wonderful seeing that eaglet getting good care from his or her mom... :)
It's finally warming up over here, so today I have windows and French doors open for bird-watching ^^ and we're all enjoying it very much.
I'm wishing I had some green tomatoes. ;) And I really like the article by the man who saves the fruit and vegetable seeds for planting next season. That's a family tradition here, too.
Best to you, Ms. Mary, and the lovely Princess, to whom we send big PURRS ^^! -
