Great Holiday Weekend

Had some friends and family over on Sunday. Our poor little house was so full but no one missed any part of the conversations!

Mother-in-law has been staying with us for a few days and what a great help that has been. Although I love to cook, studying and cooking, along with all my other duties it's been hard. With my mother-in-law here, all the dinners have been made for us and boy are they good. Gonna miss it all when she leaves tomorrw!

baby Dinner Plate Hibiscus

Hello again!

This pot of baby hibiscus and another pot of baby hibiscus just popped out of the soil today, exactly 2 weeks after planting. There are two in this pot so when the little guys grow their second set of leaves, I''ll be moving one to another pot. All the little plants will be staying inside and treated as house plants until next spring. Doubt they will give me flowers while inside, but will be more than ready to bloom early in the garden come next season! It's called Dinner Plate because the flowers are the size of dinner plates; around 9" or larger!

In the meantime, my mother-in-law's visiting and we are have a great time. She's going to be moving in with us soon and slowly we are getting things ready.

Made some really great rolls with poppy seeds from scratch, special today. I really shouldn't have because I have so much homework!!! Tons of reading -- Biology and Medical Terminology. TONS! I don't remember college like this the last time I got a degree. Aaaaarg! :)

Thanks for stopping by.

First Day

Hello again!
As the girls gathered their supplies and backpacks, the smart beagle put 2 and 2 together and KNEW it was bus time! All morning long, she refused to go out to do her business in the backyard (where she's Queen of the Swamp). Nope, instead she knew it was a school day and it was her routine to be there for when the bus comes, every morning!

My younger daughter was thrilled today was school and she was entering the middle school but my older daughter has been a middle school student for a couple years so it's old hat and she was not as excited.

Am me? I am VERY NERVOUS about starting my first day of school. Biology and a bio lab. Yikes!

Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

WOW, NJ........

I can remember a couple floods like Irene created, when I was a girl living in Montgomery Township, NJ.

Wishing my old state and all the the people in it the best and hoping for a speedy cleanup.
