So far since I've lived in Texas,I've learned how to make several things.I can finally make decent bisquits that hubstead will eat.I make different kinds of breads and pies,salsa and later tonight I'm making homemade ginger ale.Yeah I'm stuffed right now!Think I'll take a nap.

Next Project



My hatband I've been beading,got about 4 more inches and that will be done!






I had a chance yesterday to pickup a dresser for 10.00 and I knew the bottom drawer was missing but I got it anyway.This dresser is made of pine so after I looked at it I thought it would be good for the next project I got in mind.I'm going to dump the other bottom drawer and put a pine board all the way across the bottom and make it where it flips down and put a bottom underneath.I'm going to put hinges and latches on it.Use as a storage place.When we get our cabin I'll use this as either a counter to eat on or put a sink in the top.The back needs a new panel too and if we put a little wider top that over hangs,that would be a great table with storage,which I will need bad.Just have to add chairs.

Didn't know that could Happen

As everyone knows I have been trying to take better care of myself.So when hubstead said he wanted to go get some chicken yesterday from the local chicken place,you know who it is,I said sure I love their chicken.So we got coleslaw,corn,green beans,mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy.We ate when we got home and ate on it on and off.Soooo...I went to bed later and when I got up my GOSH what a headache I had.I can not describe the pain .I said ok I won't do that again.This morning I am having to take advils and eat something better.WOW.We went to the store last night and I picked up my organic cereal and some almond milk.I'm so mad at myself but I didn't know that could happen.When you get use to eating one thing and try to eat another it does make a difference in your system.

A long time ago I talked to a guy who was working up in Yellowstone Park and he decided to go see a relative in Kansas.He had been use to eating the deer and elk and other wildlife there and he didn't think nothing of it so he stopped at a burger place and ate a hamburger.He said he got so sick cause his system was use to the rich wildlife food.This reminded me of how I felt this morning.I should of known better.But I'm back on the wagon today and I'm flushing myself out.It's so strange but not considering people talking about all the chemicals they put in food.I just thought I would write about this little experience and forward ya that it can hurt you if you fall off the wagon LOL!

This was GOOD!








I made an white egg omelet with spinach and parmesan cheese added cayenne pepper on top for supper tonight.WOW!I used 3 eggs whites,boiled the spinach with nutmeg and lemon(remember the parmesan chicken?)I sprayed my little good skillet with Pam and cooked my egg whites on one side ,flipped it,added the spinach and cheese and folded the one side over.Put it on the plate and added a little spinach on top then sprinkle cayenne and grated cheese.Walla!It keeps me full for the rest of the night.

Sorry to be slow on Postings

Got over my allergies after two weeks.I have started my beaded strip for my cowboy hat,so I haven't been spending too much time on here,except FB,but I got relatives on there.The beaded strip is going very well and I will post the end results.I did bead a piece for a barette,it has little buebirds on it but I got to get some craft glue to finish it.The mobile home park finally put a new porch on the front.Hubstead almost broke his neck Sunday tripping in the door.He hurt his ankle a little.So Monday I got on the phone and told them what happened and it was about 30 minutes,here they come.I was thinking oh it takes someone almost breaking their foot to get you to fix it?I have been trying since last year to get them to fix the porch so I guess so.Oh I'll be so glad to get our own place.I know sometimes it's nice to have people to fix things and you don't get charged for it but it's another when you have to stay on them about it.So now the trailer looks nice with the porch and we got the grass cut.

I have been reading about the raw milk thing and my two cents here,if you want to drink it fine!We are getting too much and too many people making a fuss about all this.This includes small gardeners and farmers they may one day want to control.I am going to have a garden and I am going to have chickens and if I want to run around my house outside naked MIND your own business and don't look!What Graham Greene said on Maverick,Im going buy some land so God awful then maybe they will leave me alone.I have come to one conclusion,if you buy in the desert or in the swamps then people leave you alone lol!No seriously think about it,when you get too near a neighbor they can complain and the east is full of people.Damn I think I am trying to talk myself into staying here.Someone asked me one time why out west?I told them it's so open here that you can see someone coming from a mile off.This is my opinion and I'm sticking with it.Ok not too much going on but still packing and gathering stuff up we are going to need.We haven't decided where depends on property being available.Also heard about the wood burning stoves too,now they want you to have an EPA certified stove and you have to completely dismantle your old one unusable.What a crock of s#$T.Sorry I have been reading all this and it's like a nightmare to me.Heck by the time I'm ready to do the dew I won't be be able to do nothing.

Saving a few Dollars

This morning I went down to the local cheapy store and I was only gonna get some conditioner for my hair cause I dyed it over the weekend.Well you know how this is gonna go.I got my shampoo and was walking around and saw a tye dye summer dress,yep, it went in the cart,then I got hungry and got 4 cans of tamales for lunch.I got Rion some snacks and hubstead some snacks.I saw my over the counter sink,$5.00 and yep it went in the cart too.Try buying that online and it's gonna cost ya.So I would say I saved some money today on some stuff I needed anyway.My aunt told me one time to NEVER buy retail if you can find it on sale.I have took her advise many and one times and done just that. She was right.Most of the things I have gotten for the cabin has been on sale except a few thigs I really liked.

The cabin is still in the works.We have decided after doing a list of pros and cons of living in New Mexico compared to living back home,we decided to move back home still.I don't really like the idea of being in tornado country but everything I want to do and grow would do better there.We are still looking for land but I think we are going with one maybe two acres this round.Besides I am missing home more now for some reason.I have been thru some odd mood changes here lately.My sister-in-law is begging for us to come home everytime I talk to her.I told her to look out for some property and we'll see.

It has been rather cool here in west Texas and it was 35 this morning.This weather out here has alot of people messed up.At least we aren't having snow which the other day it would have been a welcome relief.It was warm lol.Well those tamales are calling my name so I guess I will go see what they want!Have a great weekend everyone!

What would you Do?

Today I had a man come to the trailer and was asking me about doing some cleaning up around it for 15.00 dollars,said he had to buy food and diapers for his little ones.I told him that it was a short week and I didn't have any money but I could give him some food.He didn't want that.I decided I wasn't going to get in a spot with him and told him sorry I couldn't help.Now the thing of it is this,one I think I have seen him before and two,ever since we got this truck,strange things are going on,like people are paying more attention to us.Geesh we didn't win the friggin lottery.And I didn't see him going to anyone elses house.MMMM


What would you have done?

Beading Again and Allergy Attacks and Prayers


This is how I have been feeling!Yep that's how hubstead looks at me lol.


Well so far so good.It has been tough getting back into beading after not picking it back up for awhile.I was going to do a hatband for my cowboy hat but remembered that I had bought beads for my bluebird barette.So this is what I am putting together now.Hubstead and I have been sneezing so bad,we got allergies.This wind here has been blowing and it has been making us miserable.Hubstead even missed a day of work because he couldn't even function.I did make some stuff up with honey and coconut oil and lemon.It helped alittle to combat it but it is still bad.Going down to freezing tonight here in West Texas.
I don't know what to think about the events that has happened in the last couple of days.It's a mind blower.Sometimes I feel well,we get these things over a period of time but then too is it going to be a reacurring thing?Are we going to be like these other countries?Fear is not an option for Americans.We are stronger than that I would like to think.As far as the explosion in West Texas we'll have to wait and see what comes about.I had gotten up last night and was asking hubstead where Orion was and he said he was in the office and ask me why?I told him I felt something and heard something and as always he said he are always doing that.Now we know ,it was around that time it happened.Yes I am like that,I have always been able to sense things.I knew something was wrong and couldn't sleep.So many prayers go out to both Boston and West,Texas.

Allergy Time

Yup it's that time of the year here.Been around ninety today.It probably wouldn't be so bad except for the wind,it blows everything around.Hubstead has it bad and I feel for him having to go to work.I've been uploading myself on the local honey so my allergies aren't as bad.I can remember when we lived in Florida and Alabama the pollen was so bad it would turn everything yellow.

Today I gave away some clothes to a lady who helps homeless people find jobs,plus two phones I had.They needed a way for the employer to get in touch with them.I do this cause wow I know how tough it is to try to get a job with out a phone.I try to help out if I can and this isn't the first time I have done it.I told her give me some more time and I probably would have more for her.

Well it's very short today but have a good evening!

A Little Hail Fell












This is what we got in west central Texas yesterday.It was pinging off this roof like crazy.I thought they would be bigger but wasn't thank goodness.Orion had to go out and he did,quick like.He was covered in it.He also likes the cold,yep,he's a mommas boy!
Went thru my beads and clean it all up.Decided to start another project and now I have something to do this week.I haven't beaded in awhile so it's always hard to get back into it.I hope everyone is ok in the path of these storms.Be careful and keep safe!

A Little Update

The Tea Tree oil is working on the place I have had on my nose.It has been slow going but I am very pleased with the results.
The vitamin combinations I take seem to be doing me some good.I have had more energy and sleeping better.Early this morning I got started doing some stuff and got alot done.
I got more of my family history done.
Been researching til I'm blue in the face but since when we move we won't have internet I want to get as much done as possible.
I don't know now what is going to go on with all the changes our dear President is going to do.Some of it will effect me with my disability.I am not happy at this point because it could really mess us up with getting the cabin(as in not being able to afford it)I am praying it won't.Texas is so messed up right now about this stuff.I have no doctor here to see me and no one is taking medicaid.I don't know how long this will last.
On the upside as long as we can get the property and if I have enough to pay the on the cabin hubstead will have to get a job when we get to New Mexico,which he wants to stay home with me but...he is having second thoughts and I don't blame him,it's gonna get scary I think.
Been cleaning house and it is amazing what I have kept.I have been looking in the paper and online for shelvs and bookcases.I think it will help in the long run.
Well I'm off to explore what I have in my bead collection and go thru it tonight.I will definitely be busy for awhile.Thinking about putting a movie on.Next on our list of stuff to get-Generator.But hubstead is getting his rifle first before that.

Springtime Rains

We are finally getting some rain here tonight.Thunder rumbling and some lightning.I love the rain and the thunder,not much on lightning.Hubstead has another week off from work because of Easter and some vacation time.Gosh it feels like he just took some.Tonight I'm throwing together some chicken and potatoes and onions in the oven and just let it cook.The applesauce Pumpkin bread was a big hit with my friends and neighbors.I think I may make some more later.Our little dwarf pear tree is sprouting leaves YAH! Well tonight it's gonna be short so have a great weekend!

Applesauce Pumpkin Bread




I decided to try this recipe and WOW is this ever good and it contains no oil.

1 1/2 cups applesauce
2 cups pumpkin puree
4eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
Mix white sugar and applesauce together in a large bowl; stir pumpkin puree and eggs into sugar mixture until smooth. Mix baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and mace into pumpkin mixture; fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir flour into pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle each loaf with confectioners' sugar.



I didn't put the confectioners sugar on top instead I will be putting cream cheese frosting.This full loaf goes to a friend tomorrow.I was really surprised at how easy this was.If you cook some let me know how it turns out.This was an online recipe.A lady named Virginia Ann from Maryland makes it.You can find it on AllRecipes.com under pumpkin bread.This stuff is good!I put the chocolate chips in this one and pecans for my friend.Ours was just with the chocolate chips.I got less than a half loaf left,I gave my neighbor some for her and her teenagers.I need to stay out of it LOL.

5-in-1 Pear Dwarf Tree











This book has some really nice ideas for a southwest garden.





>
I hope they turn out as pretty as these but pears lol.





Hubstead always has wanted one of these.So we ordered one and now we got tiny little red looking buds showing up.Well it's worth a try.This what you get when you order a tree.This is a 5-in-1 dwarf pear tree.




Today I had bad news.My ex-husband had a stroke while my son and him were on the road.They are both truck drivers. Fortunately my ex wasn't driving at the time. He is up in Denver Colorado in the hospital from a blood clot in his head. So for my son and him I am praying for a speedy recovery.This of course may be the end of his truck driving days.

I have been reading everyones blogs and wow ya'll sure are excited about spring.I am too.We have been sitting here with the doors and windows open to let some fresh air in.Here we still have that aggravating pollen fron the mesa blowing down this way in this valley.I have been sneezing up a storm.It seems it isn't as bad as it has been in the past spring.Probably getting use to it.Since we are going to be here alittle longer ,I have been looking at these boxes we packed up and trying to decide if I should unpack them and put everything back OR leave them in the boxes and keep adding to them like I have been.It's going to be next March before we get things going.

Well I better get off my duff and get some housework done,I like doing this stuff at night cause it's so much cooler and he's not home lol.

Lookie what I got!









Trying to go smaller here.A friend of hubsteads called this weekend and asked if we wanted these.I didn't know it but hubstead had already talked to him about the rocker for my birthday.How cool was that? I have waited and waited for a rocking chair and finally got one!It's dang near brand new.($5.00 for both) The bench seat was included.Now some suggestions for cushions would be most welcome for the bench seat.Orion didn't like the idea of us taking his couch out and he can't jump up on the bench seat cause it rocks back and forth.The first thing he wanted to do was pull the pillows off and we got on to him about it.So he's been sulking some about it.We saved two cushions from the couch for him to lay on but he has been laying on the bed so I guess he figures we took his,he's gonna take ours!Rotten hound.Now we got to get started on the bedroom.I got all my kitchen stuff in and where we live there is a swap meet page on Facebook.I have already picked up a shelf from there.

Recently I went down to one of our grocery stores and picked up some sweet potatoes.I can't remember the last time I had some,besides the pies,but I was amazed at how small they were.I was thinking gosh is the produce getting smaller too.I also got some avacadoes and yuck they were too ripe.So now I have to look around for better produce.What is going on here? I can see why people are growing their own.I got two tomatoes too and for some reason,maybe mind wise?,I could taste the pesticide in it.So in the garbage it went too along with the avacadoes.I think the only things I have found here that was good is the local honey,tomatoes grown from the local farmers.That's pretty skimpy uh?


Orion is starting to shed which is our sign that spring is here.It's gonna be bad too.I constantly have to vaccum when he does because he has that soft under fur and I have gray and black tuffs all over the place.I can make another dog out of what he sheds.We have been keeping him outside more which he prefers any way but living here I have to watch for kids aggravating him.We don't let him out before eight in the morning and we bring him in before three in the afternoon.Got two kids that will tease him if we don't.And people wonder why he don't like children.That also goes for the utility guys too that check the meters in the alley.He has never been social with people.And living here I didn't want him to be with hubstead working nights.He is a great watch dog but he barks at everything.

I went ahead and planted some cactus seeds,well they are coming up but I don't think they will live.I have no idea what they are either,it was a mixed pack of seeds.So today I guess I will try to replant what I have and wait and see.Yeah Texas needs more cactus uh?Oh well that's what has been going on here.Everyone have a great hump day!

Taking Pictures,Cold back home.

I'm trying to not use up too much space on here by taking alot of pictures.I want to save some for when we move.Yes we are still moving but around this time next year.I have been eyeing the weather in New Mexico to get a general idea of what we may be facing in March.

Something must of said don't move because when I talked to my sister-in-law,she told me it had been sleeting and snowing there in that part of Alabama.I am glad we didn't go,it would of been sooo cold!This is going to give us a year to get what we need anyway.I have been checking out the barrels for the rainwater and the water tanks online.I may just get them here depends on the price.Here's another,if we move up in the mountains on the southwest of Albuquerque,HA it's snowing there recently.But hubstead wants to move where there are trees.He's not too fond of the flat desert I had looked at.So I guess we will go with the mountain home.Water will be plenty and shade and it shouldn't be too hot.He's still doesn't like the idea of having to do all the work himself but I told him how satisfying it will be him knowing he did it.

I'm happy to report over my eating habits I am getting stretch marks ugh!but heck who's gonna see them anyways? It's amazing ,you change some things around and it works.I have been eating more of the fat burning stuff and even now I quit getting indigestion.I sleep better too.My back doesn't hurt much either unless I am standing up too long.I love to go shopping but can only do very little time in a store.We went and got the last Twilight breaking Dawn 2 and wow what a line,but once they started selling it the line moved fast.They had four check outs going on.We are avid DVD collectors.I have quite a few Native American movies I watch.

Been collecting Cds too for historical records.My ancestors are from Ireland and Scotland so I have been trying to finish on the computer the rest of my family history.Now I have people coming to me for records and stuff and I gladly give it for free because alot of people don't know where or how to start.I don't have a genealogist license but try to help when I can.I have always done really good with history.I know how frustrating it can be when you hit a brick wall on your family.I just tore one down on mine after twenty+ years of looking.

Well I'm gonna sit here and my yogurt and later we got to run to the big store and get some more veggies.Hope you have had a good day!

Tea Tree Oil






It's a fantastic oil!I have two bottles of this stuff and I burnt my hand here while back and have been using it on the burn spot.I also have a place on my nose that didn't seem to want to clear up and so I put some on it too.Tea Tree Oil dries the sores up.But warning the smell is something else.It has a smell of eucalyptus and pine sol.Best way I can decribe it.If you use it in a room it will smell that room up.Tea Tree oil come from Australia and they know their stuff too.You're not suppose to use around eyes,nose or mouth but it hasn't bothered me with my nose.This stuff I have is pharmaceutical grade,I got it on amazon.I haven't use it on anything else considering it has a lot of ways to use it.It definitely keeps the dog away from me for awhile lol! If you get some keep it away from children.

If you use this let me know how you use it.There is alot of info online about it.

We had a good day today,went and paid bills Blah! and took a ride to the local hobby place.Hubstead wants to fix up his cowboy hat.Got a truck need a hat.I told him I wanted a sticker that said"Trucks are for Girls,you silly Boys".But he won't let me lol.

I wanted to tell you about that change of eating habit I'm doing.I am trying out coconut oil for cooking.People you got to get some of this stuff.It goes a long way.I usually cook with olive oil but I cooked some snow peas in a skillet with coconut oil and WOW!I have been feeling better and my glucose hasn't been acting up.I switched back over to almond milk with vanilla,drinking ginger root tea,green tea with berries,eating a mix of tomatoes,jalapenos,onions and parsley.
I cut out any kind of condiments,flour,fried foods,I'm weaning myself off sodas(yes I'm an addict)lol.Within a week I can feel the difference.I'm not too active because of my back pain but I have been taking the vitamins everyday and it has helped some.I think the krill oil has done more good than anything.It's not dieting just changing some food groups around.I'm using more fat burning stuff ,I'm heavy in the front part,and I noticed stretch marks.Yeah it wouldn't hurt the guys either.If you are like me,I have a spouse who don't really like change on the food but what he don't know won't hurt him.Not unless he has an excellent sense of taste.The other night we had steaks.I wanted some mushrooms and onions and I cooked those in olive oil.I decided that it needed it own food group title.It was awesome.I told hubstead I like to cook now.Which he was pleased lol.We put those on the steak,he had A1 sauce I just had the mushrooms and onions.You know how some people have a bag of onions?Well I buy two purple(red) onions a week and I use that same onion alot for different things.I started that a long time ago.I'm using more spices now and we have one shaker with garlic powder,onion powder,parsley,paprika,salt and pepper.It gets used on all of our meat.The reason why I had to do this change was because the older I get the more food allergies I am getting.Like today we went to a chinese place we like to eat at,I got the sesame chicken and I had something that resembled a crab salad and noodles,bad combo,I had a sneezing fit and I told hubstead I was not feeling good.I only had one bite of the salad.So what ever was in the salad was a no-no.It's crazy right? We don't eat out alot just sometimes and I have noticed I get that way but at home I don't have a problem because I guess I know what is going in my food.

Ok I have rambled on enough, time for some coffee.Now if I could just cut that sugar out I'd be doing good,Oh well can't win them all,just yet(WINK).Orion says "HI" and no he won't eat mommys health food.

Windy Day in Texas,healthy eating and a Hedgehog toy

That wind is howling outside and the temperature is dropping.Tonight 32 wow glad we're staying home!We went got somewhat stocked up on groceries and drinks and coffee,can't do without that coffee!

Hubstead got up early this morning and put on some beef stew.The stew meat looked more like hamburger meat than chunks like we usually buy.This could be interesting.I have already tasted it and it taste fine.I asked him what kind of meat it was and he said I don't know it had a sticker over it.I'm sure it will be alright but mmm.LOL.He does some of the grocery shopping when he gets off from work,saves time and gas.So I pretty much let him have the run of it because he picks stuff out that I would.He's also good about finding bargains too.

I'm more on a health kick now and I have been rearranging my eating habits.Since I can't have whole milk I end up with almond milk with vanilla,I eat whole grain cereals,more fruits and vegetables.I eat my baked chicken and fish and mix my own extras to go with it.Last night I had baked chicken breast and I can't have bbq sauce so I threw together a tomatoe,avacado,onion, jalapeno pepper together and chopped it up.After the chicken was done I put all these ingredients together and topped my chicken breast with it.Oh it was good too.I added parsley ,cilantro is alittle strong to me so I put parsley this round in it.I ate half the chicken breast and I was done,I couldn't believe how full I was.This might be a little trick for some one.It makes you feel full and I have not been too hungry since then.I wasn't too keen on the avacado but I could get use to it.We picked up some plums at the supermarket and remember how plums use to taste right off the tree?These were good.They had that kind of taste and you had to have a napkin when you ate them.It has been a long time since I had one like that and they weren't the purple ones either.These are a yellow looking thing.I have been taking Kreel Oil and Vitamin D and B12,I drink a couple of cups of ginger root tea with local honey at night and it has seem to help with my aching bones.But this morning I sure felt bad and I know it was because of this weather.I said to heck with it and went back to bed.I feel better now but it's still cold outside.They are calling this winterstorm Rocky.

Orion got him a new towel to sleep on.We still have our old couch and he has took it over so we got this really pretty beach towel for him to lay on.He also got a new toy,it looks like a hedgehog,well, it made a really cute sound like a pig and Orion decided he wasn't gonna put up with that so he tore it up and got the sound maker out of it along with the stuffings.I had to sew it back up and now he don't want it cause we got on to him for tearing it up.How spoiled is that?Dang dog.

This is so silly -80 something channels and nothing on!I have just about decided to quit watching T.V.!Hope you have a good Monday and stay warm.

Cactus planted

I decided to try my hand at planting cactus from seeds this year.How they will come out is a wait and see.These that I have will grow into the big ones like the Saguaro and some Christmas and Barrel.Yeah like the southwest needs more uh? I figured I can baby them til we moved.Oh and I got my book in,gardening in the Southwest by Sunset.Gosh they have some of the prettiest gardening ideas and alot of the flower seeds that I have will grow there.Hubstead told me last night he wanted to move where we had lots of trees and I found a couple of good places. But both may have a POA and I'm not really fond of that.They have some good qualities about what they want and not want but still.They mainly want it kept as natural as it can be maintained and that's agreeable to me.Like no junk cars(I hate that) and no trashy yard(Ok),the water tank has to be kept out of sight(that's fine right?).All buildings have to be in code and that's fine as long as we can have the cabin.I haven't talked to the realty lady yet about this but she had mentioned this place before.It sits near a reservation and the scenery is beautiful.The only problem I see is it's in the mountains and a long way from the closet city which would be Gallup or Grants.It would be one of those once a month trips to the grocery stores and stuff.The other place we looked at was east of Albuquerque and man did it snow and it being flat no wind breaks.MM kinda like Texas.So it's up in the air,I've heard good things and bad things about both places but that's anywheres now you go.I know this place is getting bad and it may be a good idea for us to get out here soon.

Something for me

Yes it's all about me LOL! The lady over at Garden Fairy Herbal was sweet enough to make me an apron that fits me because I'm a little heavy.It's so pretty.It has a chicken on the front for pockets and has yellow flowers for the material and lace at the bottom.I can actually tie it too!.Then I ordered some krill oil because I don't feel I'm getting enough omega-3 in my diet.And finally I ordered some homemade goats milk soap from the lovely farm of Olivers Acres and it smells so good.I was looking for some and I'm still scouting out for some honey and oatmeal and anything that will soften my skin.I feel like a lizard here.I'm turning into something but haven't figured it out yet lol!.If ya interested go check em out.Sometimes you just got to pamper yourself and this is my weekend to do it.


I also figured since we may be living in the southwest,I looked up different flowers that you can grow.The one thing that caught my eye was the Zinnias.They come in different colors so I ordered some of them too.I also picked up some packs of Zinnias when we went out the other night.Heres the others,African Daisys,Shasta Daisys,multicolored Zinnias,Columbines,Nasturtiums and some chili cayennes.Why not uh?I like cayenne and I probably will use it in the garden for bugs and such.I think I'll have a pretty flower garden.That doesn't include the cactus,like yeah the southwest needs more cactus I know but these are edible too.It's going to be so much fun too bad we got to play that waiting game again.But we will get it.

Orion finally slept his trip off and still loves to ride in the big white bird.We put him in the back seat so now he knows that is where his place is.I got a cowboy hat now and I love it.I put it on every where I go.Now I have to make a beaded hatband for it.I'll design my own for that.Well that's about it.Hubstead just has been working and I'm here lol.It's been cold here it was 26 last night but it's gonna be 40 tonight.No snow in sight.Yah!
