Mamaw's World

Why does it all Go at once?
In two years we replaced a washer, dryer, refer, micro tractor and now a pool pump is in need of a changing and a new hot tub heater.
Yeah it does all go at once.


We had a dilemma today and yesterday and last week.
OK  we have on constant dillema when  it comes to work around here.

Our mower died last year, we gave the motor to Joe to build a Go-cart.
Our DR. Lord only knows why it will not work properly.
Tiller? It needs an overhaul. Does not work.
Tractor? Oh MY the TRACTOR. It blew a piston.
That is a lost cause.
We had a local company pick it up to check it out, just in case it was repairable.
NOT!
So we go shopping for a new tractor.
We did not want one, We want to keep our money, what little we have but God will provide.
The yard has to be mowed and kept up. the weeds have to be cut away from the house.
J & B are no longer in business.
The new company is charging us a Lot for work.
We had no alternative.
Buy a new yard tractor.
We got a Hasqvera with a , Kawasaki engine.
Now to get the work all done, This is going to take a while.
Lee came over and did the work outside the fence and in our drive which is overrun with ground squirrel mounds etc.
When my field is mowed I plan to kill off the grass where I am putting my garden.
Yes I am having a garden so I can have fresh corn, and melons and tomatoes and Jalapeno peppers and red, yellow and green peppers. Peas? Yes David wants some purple hull to plant.
I may just plant a few okra. Not sure yet. I love Okra fried with potatoes and onions.
"Now that is a southern dish no matter how you slice it."
I think he best make that call for help.
Melons, I want some of every variety. Water, cantaloupe, and all kinds of squash.(Zucchini, Yellow, and Banana squash with a few Spaghetti squash. Oh Yeah Summer squash too.
I must get busy on that idea.

I love a nice garden plus I love to wander out and eat a tomato right off the vine. Yummy!!!!
My body is preforming  better lately. Since my doctor put me on Claritin I sleep so good. It is almost a shame to wake to have to crawl out of my cozy shell of a bed.

David is doing pretty good. He is trying to help out and does all he can. In fact if he were not there I am sure nothing would be totally accomplished.  I am just so tired.

We have planted 4 lavender by the entry and I have moved rock until I am sick of rock.
We have the rose garden planted in grass seed and a carpet of flowers to line one side of the stone path.
I really want to put in another arbor, It will require 3 or 4 cattle panels but it will be so nice. I will put nice full grape vines on it.
Yep sounds like a plan.
Maybe I will use one of those panels for my running roses, (since I moved the arbor to my entry way)

Well it is late and I am wiped out.
Love to all.
