Yeah I did a dumb thing today. I locked myself out of the house...no mind whatsoever. I had my wallet and my car keys but no purse with house keys in it and no cell phone. I went to the local hardware store and asked if they knew of a locksmith, they did and started to write down his number and then I had to ask to use their phone. The guy was very nice and let me and even dialed the number. The locksmith came to the house and proceeded to try to pick the lock. Yes, I said tried. 1960's locks are pretty sturdy little things and he couldn't get it to open...
So he went around the house looking at the windows (they are all locked) and tried the back door which was locked and chained and then finally went around to the front door where glory be it wasn't fastened all the way but the chain was in place. Doggone thought it was shut. He had to take the molding off the side of the door in order to get me in. He even reinstalled the molding for me which was really nice. So glad he got me in without having to go to the next step which was drilling out the lock. All's well that ends well.
Now tell me why I left my purse in the house and only took my wallet...I don't know. Old Timer's disease LOL
What have all of you been up to? Lock yourselves out lately?
Keeping my purse and keys close,
Denise

spring is here
I'm hanging in there. I won't lie to you, it's been hard. My cat and dog are happy and healthy. It's been raining off and on the past couple of weeks and did I mention it's spring? So rain plus warmer weather equals mowing. So yesterday I went out to start up the ol John Deere and
...
nothing. Nada. Not even a click. Hmmm. Opened up the hood. Now I don't know much about mowers but I think I need a new battery and maybe just maybe those chewed on nutshell shouldn't be under the hood. Just a guess but I don't think they're supposed to be there. So my friend's husband is coming over to check the battery and maybe he'll be able to help me get all those nuts out. Crazy squirrel anyway lol. I'll have to take a picture of it.

Busy week
It has been a very busy week. DH has been going to radiation every day and then chemo on Tuesday. He had a bit of a freak out with the mask they do the radiation therapy with and so he now is taking Alprazolam for anxiety. Well he does have claustrophobia, can't say I blame him for freaking out a little bit with the mask and being strapped down to the table so he can't move. He couldn't eat anything (Boost) on Sunday but was drinking juice and water but on Monday he had a hard time drinking. The mouth tumor had swollen up so when we went in on Monday we asked about a stomach tube and he had it placed on Wednesday and is now on tube feedings. He stayed in the hospital on Wednesday night and I picked him up on Thursday. He is feeling much better and looks a whole lot better. He kept saying I thought I was dead. Seems they left him in the hallway alone at one time. He was having a lot of pain after the procedure too.
To place the tube, the doc runs a little light on the end of a tube down the nostril to the stomach and pushes it up against the stomach towards the outside. He can see that light and then makes the incision from that. There is a little balloon that holds the tube in place so it won't pop out and then there is a disc on the outside. He has cans of food that I put down the tube every five hours. Right now he is only taking one but he should be up to 2 cans every feeding by Monday. Don't want to overfill his little tummy :) And you definitely don't want him to cough either when you are feeding him cause it comes back up the tube, yuck.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
too funny!

And that's why I'm making it the tip for the week ;)

And still more pics!
I think this is the last of them on my camera for now.
DH on the mower. This part of the land is really stony. He's already hit a few rocks and will need to sharpen the blades soon. Oh for you guys out there, it's a John Deere.
Two views of our new land the second time DH mowed. We've been going out every other week.
My Christmas cactus blooming in May. I put it outside on my porch every year for the summer. It loves the heat and humidity but has never bloomed out there.
This is my other lavender. This is what I use for my lavender jelly. If you look really closely you might see the bees. We have a lot of mason bees but not too many honey bees. That's OK we love all the pollinators ;)
Isn't this pretty! The blooms have just started on this. I will try to get a pic when all the blooms are out.
Our grapes. We need a few more rains for them to plump up. These are concord grapes.
This is my frog I have in with my lavender...DH got a little carried away with the weed eater. He came in and said he took the eyes off my frog. We have a little toad that lives in our backyard and I thought he meant that he had hurt the toad. I was very upset but then when he showed it to me I just laughed. The frog is just a decoration, the toad on the other hand eats the bugs. I love my toad but only like my frog. Guess Mr. Froggy is going to have to visit the garbage can...LOL. (Oh and I don't know what happened to his eyes, I couldn't find them. Maybe the weed eater pulverized them)
Here are my sunflowers. These are the first ones that I have had that are short and stocky. I didn't plant them. These are from the sunflower seeds that the chicks didn't eat. We had about six come up. These ones here and three in the chicken pasture. Needless to say the ones in the chick area did not make it. They ate them down to nubs. When these get big enough and start to dry out in the fall, we'll put the seeds into the chicken feed. I might scatter a few in with the oats DH grows. Amazing he didn't mow these down LOL.
These are our blueberries. They are starting to come off now and I am overloaded with them. Whatever we don't eat fresh will be frozen to be canned later. The branches are so loaded with berries they are hanging on the ground. I pick them every day.

This is a recipe from the Snyder Family Cookbook
Kay's Career Cake:

My cousin Kay is not the best cook in the world but she makes a mean tomato soup (from the can) and toasted cheese sandwich.

Too Funny!
This is Penny. Penny isnt supposed to be in with the chickens. I went to let the cats in and she didnt come in so I called to her and I hear this little mournful meow coming from the chicken area...I dont know how she did it but she was inside the fence. I think maybe she was chasing a sparrow and jumped over. I made her wait until I got the camera LOL. Of course the chicks thought I was bringing them something to eat. Poor little Penny. Those birds are bigger than she is ;) Still makes me laugh looking at it.No cats or chickens were harmed in the making of this pic. My cats actually get along with the chickens.

Even though we're in a tornado watch you gotta love Gene Kelly. When's the last time you jumped into a mud puddle on purpose?

Laugh for your Tuesday morning...
Had to share this one from one of my knitting groups on Yahoo...
Adapted from a quilters' newsletter in North Carolina...author unknown.
A recent study has indicated that yarns give off certain pheromones that
hypnotize women and cause them to purchase ungodly amounts of yarn. When
stored in large quantities in enclosed spaces, the pheromones in the yarn
causes memory loss and induce the gathering syndrome, similar to the one
squirrels have before the onset of winter.
Sound tests have also revealed that these yarns emit a very high-pitched
sound heard only by a select few, known as stitchers. When played backward,
the sounds are heard as chants...'Buy me! Knit me!' Furthermore, pheromones
seem to cause a pathological need to secret the yarn purchases away when
one takes them home and blend them into the existing stash. When asked by a
significant other if the yarn is new, the reply is, "oh, I've had it for a
while!"
In order to overcome the so-called feeding frenzy effect that these yarns
cause, one must wear a face mask when entering a storage facility, and use
ear plugs to avoid being pulled into their grip. It is also beneficial to
enter these storage facilities without the presence of cash or credit cards.
Sad to say, the addictive qualities of this compulsive behavior are
cumulative, and are ameliorated only by the purchase of more and more and more
yarns.
No cure is known at this time.
