Sunday afternoon...

Yesterday was a grand day!!!  I got to meet up with my grandson and his other Grandma!  We went to Davenport, walked along the river (Mississippi), went to a botanical garden, ate in a cafe, watched him play at a couple of playgrounds and got to see him enjoy being a "photographer" for the day.  He had a disposable camera for the day and Loved taking photos.




Today and for awhile now...haha...this has been the scene in our house...When we bought the place 2 years ago it only had central air in the lower level.  So my very talented husband is putting in air ducts for the central air to connect to the bedrooms upstairs.  Because the ducts are so big and the locations needed for them are in odd places...he has made a couple of thick walls to hold the ducts...in the end, we will (he will...haha) trim out the opening with woodwork that will match the rest of the house.  The new layout will give the living room a cozy and somewhat separateness from the dinning "room".

 This orchid has not bloomed since I received it from a girl who lived in the condos were we used to live 2 years ago.  I've been neglecting it...and it has survived...lately I have been "tending" to it (keeping it moist, warm and in the sun) and Wall-aaa, it sprouted a bud and now is in bloom with one more bud to go!
Things are bloom'n around here.  Not just the orchid but this human being is coming around too.  Spring is in the air despite it being February.  This weekend I will be planting some cabbage seeds to germinate in the basement.  So have lots of those paper pots to make up. 

Hello world! It has been many years since there was a post on here. So, starting up anew. My fingers are not used to the keyboard...many mis...
