Twas a day in the garden ~ and my sweet, ham!

Ok~ I am not sure what is up with this blogger, but I am going to do whatever I can here, since I am not a genius with this stuff! I thought I'd share some more of things happening here. We did have a tornado here at home, but our home was spared any damages. It was a hit and miss sort of thing, it left debris and damage just a few miles away from us, but I am not complaining! We have had our share in the past! I was at work when this was all happening, so THAT was fun! NOT! LOL! Just have to vent, why can't people listen to a simple direction? Now~ Linda~ don't say a word! LOL! (a joke about my word verification) As SOON as I can get with my hubby for longer than 5 minutes, I am hoping to solve this issue! Anyhow, when someone tells you, there is a tornado heading this way, and you need to go to the storm shelter, we are shutting our tills down, WHY can't people get this? I was astonished! They just thought they could keep on shopping! LOL! 

So that is off my chest now! I mowed the grass today too, I felt just horrible because I accidently ran over  one of the toads with the mower! Didn't see him, I try to watch out for them. There's a few things blooming here, yesterday, my yellow Iris opened up. I love them! Also, my Dwarf Korean Lilac is starting to bloom, I just looked and saw that I now have two babies that have shot off of here, so I have to find places for them! There's some other tulips and daffies that I have in front. Roses are greening up and leafing out, peonies are going to be blooming soon. More pictures later. Clematis ready to bloom soon. See how much work I have yet to do? All that grass that needs to go! The trampoline will be gone this weekend! I will be organizing my garage this weekend. I have a friend coming over that I work with and well, they don't have a lot, so I THINK my primitive taste has started to rub off on her! LOL! She has been such a good  friend to me, and she's a new gardener too, so I have double duty here! Anyhow, she is coming over because I have been going through some of my garden books and magazines, I will give them to her, and I am giving her some perennials too, and I told her she could shop for some goodies for their new house. She is like a sister to me, since I AM the oldest! LOL! Oh~ I forgot to mention, my little crabtree is blooming too! Isn't it pretty?

I did get all my stuff planted the other day, I will post pictures as they bloom. I am certain most of us know about all the bad storms that have been going on. I feel heart broken for them too. I think sometimes we have to step back a bit from things and ask what can we do? I will keep mine to myself, but the Lord knows my intent. It is hard to see these things happening, but we must know that God is in control, he has a plan, and even when things are tough, we have to trust him fully! Not easy to do all the time, but I heard Charles Stanley today say that God didn't promise life to be without problems, I know first hand, and I have my share too! BUT, he said that God is always there with us, and that we have these times to grow and learn, and I do believe that too, and you just never do know who you may help along the way. I have my battle with seasonal depression, there are days, I can barely make it through one more day of winter here! I have decided to pray about some things and I believe God will help me with this and find a solution somewhere. We are all having to pinch pennies and some of us more than others, again, I am placing my trust that he will make a way for us to have a solution! Sending you all big hugs! Thanks for visiting!
