I had leftover spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast AND I knock off benedryl.
I had to bleach my underwear today to get the Downey Unstopables out of them!!! :mad:
I put on a pair that had the scent and got welts on my legs and back, gone now.
Coffee was REALLY good. Funny, it has helped with my allergic reaction.
Must be magic.

I have a Magnolia Jane. It is 10yo and looks like it won't get any taller than about 12 ft.
DD's planted a Magnolia Betty. Theirs is still small but flowered nicely this year.
Here is a few lists of dwarf Magnolias for those of us who don't live in the South, where Magnolias grow like weeds!!
I never knew there was a dwarf one. Very pretty!

I had coffee and decided my tomatoes could not go back outside yet. I had to bring the tomatoes and peppers back in the house. No sun yet, so the tomatoes are sitting on the table. They are too big for the inside greenhouse now.. I have peppers and some smaller tomatoes in the inside greenhouse and some squash and cucumbers coming up. The zucchini did not come up. I think the seed was too old, so I am going to town later and pick up some new seed. I see my tilled garden is sprouting weeds. It has been raining and really muddy so DS did not go get manure and putting that off until next Saturday.

I am on my second cup. I was up at 4 WITHOUT COFFEE LOL I got up to check text messages from DD. She has had a really rough week. One at a time they are getting the stomach flu. The baby so far has not had it, just cold symptoms and her husband, but I do not see how they can escape it. I took plants out and watered them. It is only 58 degrees but some sun. I had to replant zucchini but everything else came up and I planted some hollyhocks, daisy and cone flowers to plant around my garden and they are coming up. The manure will come on Saturday and the weather looks good for me to get stuff done out in the garden next week. Going to rain again today.and tomorrow and then start warming up.

On my second cup of coffee. I went out and transplanted some thyme from and old herb garden to a new area. I turned over one of the blue barrels where I have been putting rabbit bedding and grass clippings and leaves and this barrel was not all the way full so I was able to tip it. I got some stuff off the top layers and then I had to use a pitchfork to dig down in the bottom part and it is breaking down good and there are worms in there. The other 2 barrels are too heavy for me to tip over. I still need a better way to compost. I have another pile where I put rabbit bedding last year and it is breaking down good.

The manure will be here Saturday and I am going to try to plant the pole beans. It is still going to be cold at night for the next few days and then Sunday it is going to be 90.
