gone to bloom already...
I took the picture, & there really WAS a bumble bee there.
I swear!
.

Good Morning Everyone;
Another weekend passed already...
And oh, so busy we have been!
Every day, it seems as though I throw a few more seeds around.
.
.
Another of my 'favorites'.
Always reminds me of an iceberg...
.
.
And later, maybe a few storms.
Stolen from my forecast page...
We need the rain of course... I just don't like the noise!
But I did find yet another clump of chives near the old one. Mama's chives.
Maybe I will separate them and bring one plant inside...
I dig them out, save the 'chive' part, (so I have a 'handle' on them).
Replant them.
Trim the chives, (the 'handle'), down to about ½".
Discard the tops, and within a week I will have more fresh chives!
These plants grow almost anywhere- They LOVE the sun; and a cup of water every now and then.
Yesterday brought me to yanking out more quack grass than should be allowed to grow anywhere, let alone on MY land! Guess you could say I was on a mission!
After only a little while I got so dizzy. Maybe a bug or something. Maybe a REAL bug too because my ankles are still all swolled up.
Not sure if it was the heat or not; (and given the state of my thyroid I think it might have been).
I came in the house, and full of goosebumps. (No, I wasn't cold)!
.
.
hehehe
The scrape is from fighting with a pine tree a while back.
(Obviously the pine tree won)...
.
.
I ventured back out a few times, after taking 3 benedryl for the swollen ankles.
(They didn't work).
I would work a while, and come back inside.
(Just really pooped out).
I always take my vitamins and such- will have to do some research on everything else my doctor has me on too.
I did not make it to Baby Mariahs birthday celebration. 
Will have to run those presents (and her card) over to Mike and Micki's sometime this week.
But there was NO way I was going to be driving anywhere as dizzy as I was.
Checking my 'calendar' here, I see that Jenny Mella will be leaving for camp in 2 days.
Seems as though she just graduated and came home!
.
.
hehehe
.
.
.
.
Not too much other news...
Time for me to go throw a few more seeds in the ground!
Hope you all had a 'wunnaful' weekend!
XOXO
Anne
Those chives are beautiful!! Purple, my favorite color. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rocks are cool too!
Gosh you did have goosebumps. hehehe, when I come inside I usually plop at the keyboard too. lol Guess that's what us addicts just do. ;)
Ummmm, that pool looks like it needs to be a bit bigger for her. lol
Have a great day!!
Sweet Tonya!
ReplyDelete...hehehe
They do bloom pretty, don't they?
And live anywhere! Want some?
And so you know, that gooseflesh actually HURT!
It was SO weird.
Am thinking I need to get my thyroid checked; and the sooner the better.
Seems as my levels change throughout the year...
I use the pool to catch rainwater and to bathe the dogs in summer.
Love to ya!
XOXO
"Addict"
The pictures of the chives (never saw it in bloom before) and rocks were pretty. Chives can live anywhere? Umm...
ReplyDeleteCheck thyroid...maybe it went to sleep?
Enjoy the rain.
Addict? roflol
hugs
me
Sweet Cat...
ReplyDeleteUmm... WHAT???
hehehe
I have been on thyroid pills since I had CaseyFace.
(It's all HER fault)!
Yup I AM an addict here.
Love to ya!
XOXO
Me
Dear sweetheart Anne...you are the one who said she needed to get her thyroid checked. I was agreeing with you in my own silly way.
ReplyDeleteThe blame game? hahaha Mom says I'm the reason she can no longer eat popcorn. (she had about a gallon of it the night before she went into labor with moi) roflol And I've been a ''pita'' ever since.
It's so good to hear you talk about working out in your yard (other than shoveling snow!) I can tell that you LIVE for this time of the year!! Enjoy your chives, it's so cool that you have something growing in your yard that was your moms.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some peacock ore in your garden!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/q_and_a/peacockore.html
HAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteThe joles on you SILLY PITA CAT!
I was "ummming" your remark about the chives...
Yup. Still laughing...
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeletewhoops.
The JOKE is on you too!
hehehe
ReplyDeleteSweet RT!
Where on Gods green earth have you been?
And here I was all ready to delete you for not ever coming by and commenting...
JUST KIDDING!
I love the chives
But they get stuck in ones teeth...
(Inevitably that is when some gorgeous hunk of masculinity comes knocking at my door)...
XOXO
Me
oops. The 'yard' used to be mama's too!
ReplyDeletehehehe
;-)
My ''umm'' remark was about chives growing anywhere...meaning here where I live. I can kill anything or at least the yard can. [yeah that's it...it's the yard's fault...don't take the blame...after all, you USED to have a green thumb] That's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's the yard's fault.
ReplyDeleteNothing I've typed here is making any sense...not even to me. Need coffee.
Sweet Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much...
I had another rock (2 blogs ago I think)... Or is that the one you were referring to?
COOL link.
Wish I had $$$
Love to you
XOXO
ME
If getting chives stuck in your teeth will do that - then I gotta get me some chive plants!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd BTW, I've been around - mostly reading and commenting. As a matter of fact I posted a comment in your Guest Book this morning.
Getting chives stuck between one's teeth will bring a ''gorgeous hunk of masculinity knocking on my door?!"
ReplyDelete[runs away to buy chive plants...tons of them]
ReplyDeleteYou two are cracking me up!!!
ReplyDeleteYou might put them in a little planter and keep them near a windowsill?
Just saying...
...Maybe a trip to the drugstore to get some chocolate would help you out today?
hehehe
XOXO
Me
You have got to quit fighting with the trees! They have more weapons than you do. Love. XOXO,Me.
ReplyDeletehehehe
ReplyDeleteI didn't see that before I went cussing off to your site.
Sorry.
A million times over...
...hangs head in shame...
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteRichard.
Who asked you?
Just kidding...
Actually, parts of my own weapons are made out of those same trees.
I shall go threaten the trees now...
hehehe
XOXO
Me
OK...
ReplyDeleteme and "The Cankles" are going back outside!

I hate when that happens....
ReplyDeleteWHICH dang part Pea???
ReplyDeleteOh Lordy, if I thought I was 'cornfoosed' with that last bit, IMAGINE how I feel now!?!
hehehe
XOXO
Me
Silly me .. I never thought about chives blooming.. Are they seeds are bulbs? Do you let them bloom before you top them? Oh so many questions.
ReplyDeleteMe when I swell up like that its normally from mosquitos... Now if a bee had stung you, I would have thought you would have felt it... Could there be a plant you are getting into that is causing you an allergic reaction? How bout.. insectacides or fertilizers or some other chemical you have put out?
Im very allergic to figs .. and all that has to happen is the wind to blow thru the leaves and onto me and I will break out into hives.
Heck the temps here are supposed to hit 96 here today and the rest of the week and not a cloud in the sky... the humidity is over 70% so needless to say .. you walk out the door and it just slaps you.
Well you take care of yourself and do the work in spurts... its not like your on a time table or anything.
luv those rocks... will have to send you a rock one day... what kinda rock you want? hehe No not a diamond! those are mine!
Luv ya sweety... go play in the sprinklers that will keep you cool!

Chives! Chives! Chives! I HAVE Chives! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Talk about perfect timing..your blog and my surprise package of chives arrived the same day.
ReplyDeleteThey smell soooooooooooooo yummy.
The window by my ''office?'' area will be perfecto.
Who needs air freshner when one has chives in their home.
[sniff, sniff, sniff...deeeeeeeeeep inhale] Ahhhhhhhhh.
I'm smiling...can you tell? ^__^ :)
Sweet Connie!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you choose to live in that... almost year round too. When it gets like that here, all my energy is completely gone and I am an old dishrag.
Nope. Me~n~heat do not mix well.
(That's why I never go to Alabama in the summer)...
Ugh
Now about the chives...
The little flowers dry out, and drop off, and reseed, so if you have any do know that they will spread. But always so nice to have too!
Damn, now I am hungry for potatoes again...
But I must get in the shower too- No breeze today, and I am dirty dirty DIRTY!
Bad enough that it was/is 80 degrees. At least the clouds have rolled in... A few drops even fell on my head, but not enough to grab a bar of soap...
Lord only knows what I get into these days. But if it is a reaction, how come the benedryl doesn't work?
I even had KC and Greg bring out diuretics last night.
Nope Didn't work either. (Nor did I have to get up to use the little ladies room in the middle of the night).
So now I have one round foot, and one less round one.
And I used to have such nice feet.
They are so ugly I am ready to wear shoes...
XOXO
Me

Sweet CAT...
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. I am always happy top spread a bit of Flintville!
You even planted them already? Gosh you're good!
hehehe
You have an office????
Not me, I moved the computer out here after Christmas and here is where it stays. (Just don't tell anyone that I cannot even get back into my own office area)... Too much junk back there right now. Which shall be moved out, and organized as Bobo moves out...
Now go buy some yellow taters...
Mmmmm
Love to ya!
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeletePEEEEE~EWE...
Shower time
Your response arrived just as I was typing something else.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't have an office persay (sp?)...just an area by a window that I have set up to sorta be one. I can open the shades and look out over two other beautifully landscaped lawns from where I'm sitting. I can also watch all kinds of rabbits, squirrels, birds, etc. go about their business.
What can I say? I AM good...sort of.
BTW, I already have some yellow potatoes.
yuuuuuuum, yum
all of it....
ReplyDeleteI must agree with Cat.. I received a little bit of Wisconsin dirt and it smells absolutely YUMMMMMMY!
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect spot to put these but they are gonna have to wait a few days... Remember I was gonna do toilets around a tree... well one of the toilets has a top and a bottom.. these are gonna go in the top.. make it look like a bad hair or a good hair day for the toilet.
Yeah I know toilets in the front yard.. hehe its a southern thing..haha
Heck its when I dont sweat that I tend to swell up..... hands first... then the feet. But I can take the heat way better than the cold.. I am totally completely and absolutely positively useless in the cold.
ReplyDeleteIm allergic to cold rain too.. I actually break out in the hives.
Sweating is good for you.. cleans out the pores!
Gives a whole new meaning to...outdoor plumbing. [grinning widely here]
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Ladies!!!
ReplyDeletehehehe
Methinks it gives a whole new meaning to "going about their BUSINESS" too!
And Connie, not only is it 'Wisconsin' dirt, it is dirt directly from "FLINTVILLE".
Hmmm...
Make sure there are no toidy~burglars about...
Really, I can't wait to see the pictures!!!
I think I should plant something in MY toidy too. The damn lever broke 2 weeks ago. I bought a new one (of course it's plastic)... Randy put it in, and it worked for 3 days. We flush by opening the damned top and pulling up.
Still mad about that.
Will go and get a(nother) fix for it...
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN THAT EVEN A TOILET NEEDS A "FIX"?
And then EATS CHIVES to compensate for the "munchies"???
...time for a little caffeine!
Glad you ladies enjoyed your early Christmas presents...
hehehe
XOXO
Me
I dont think they make them in anything but plastic anymore... Its a shame it keeps breaking on ya.. maybe your flushing too hard! hehe
ReplyDeleteMust be gentle whit da batroom fixtures...
I'll make my own then...
ReplyDeleteThen you could patent it.. and make millions and millions!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yay!
Now you will want half I $suppose?
Hey, what about the 'guts' from the toidy in the garden???
ReplyDeleteNo guts... If'n I had guts next thing I would see would be the deer using the toidy...
ReplyDeleteNah.. not half.. just a quarter..hehe
OK 25% it is.
ReplyDeleteOf the gross you see.
hehehe
But that's OK. In the whole scheme of MILLION$ it wouldn't have mattered.
Will let you know how my, *ahem*, "jury rigging" turns out...
So I was wondering if you still had the 'mechanics' from the inside of the old toilet, silly girl...
ReplyDeleteSorry.. nope... But I can look around see if I can find a metal one. You know.. I have a very special source for stuff like that
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI would be very grateful if you could find me something that would work for more than three days...
I will check today.
ReplyDeleteroflol
ReplyDeleteWe've gone from chives to falling apart plastic toidies. Plastic? Mine is fairly new and it isn't made of plastic. How'd you manage that one?
*leaves chuckling*
No no no Cat...
ReplyDeleteThe flusher thingie is what is made of plastic.
I have a ceramic bowl silly girl
hehehe
XOXO
Me
Yep. The rock on the other blog too. At least, it looks like you have a few bits of that in the picture of rocks up above!
ReplyDeleteAh soooo...all is not as muddy now.
ReplyDeletehehehe
meow
Tis too.
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING is mud now...
hehehe
...it's been raining all day
XOXO
Me
I'm just waiting for the clouds here to open up.
ReplyDeleteA late thank YOU for my chives as well :)
ReplyDeleteI had a bunch of room in with my old chives, so I planted a sad little pepper plant in the special pot you sent after the dog dug it up.
Thanks again...so very much!
Such a gorgeous picture of the chives!!! Those rocks are super cool too... You and grandma always have had a knack for finding really cool rocks... I'm just trying to find my marbles! :D
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask you how your ankles were today... I hope they are much better... Not a good thing to have swollen ankles...
No, you don't have cankles...
It does seem like Jenny was only home for a short while... Time sure does fly when you don't have enough of it! I'm so proud of her! She is all graduated and educated!!! :D
Well, I shall be heading to bed soon... It's getting to be my bedtime again!
Love you!
