I decided to write a little just to say what I have been doing, even though we haven't been doing much of "interest". Yesterday Leo decided to cut down the wild grapevine in back of the shed. It was growing like crazy back there and it was growing into the neighbors fence and since we want to be good neighbors and all we decided to cut it out completly this time. a few weeks ago I trimed it and it was worse then before. so he cut it back along with some ferns and things and put round up on the whole thing after. Then I helped him cut the vines to fit in the barrels and helped him with the evergreen that was growing over the shed... between the two of us we got that trimed and put in another barrel and then I said as long as you have the trimmer out how about the white birch? We got 3 bigger branches cut and a lot of smaller ones and now it lookes a lot neater back there but still pretty. we also cut those branches up and put in another barrel and then I cut some off of the humming bird vine as it was getting hard to walk under it again. Now we have more fresh air and it's no longer a jungle back there. Trouble is Leo's neck is sore and so is my back but we will get over it. We needed the exercise! Now all I really have to do back there is cut some plants down in the bigger garden and I will be good til fall. I found out how the seeds on morning glories grow too. I have never seen that before because the heavenly blue flower so late but this year I have different colored ones that started blooming early. those seeds are in little brown balls ~ there are about 3 or 4 to each ball or maybe more as I didn't keep track. I put them in an envelope for next year. I have my eye on the heavenly blue though as they are my favorite and hope to find some seeds for them too.
Today we went to the sale at Kohls. They didn't have what I was looking for but we did find a couple of bargains.... Leo a really nice pair of golf shorts for $8 and I got a couple of nice bras and a cake pan.... one of those blue silicone Kitchen aide ones that are able to go into the microwave or oven or freezer and dishwasher.... you just aren't supposed to use a sharp cutting tool thats all. they were on sale plus my 15% senior discount.... Then we went to Krolls for a hamburger.
So it was a nice couple of days...... hope you are enjoying your days too and hope you can get a couple of nice days as far as your weather is concerned, like we have beengetting. Its supposed to get warmer but only in the low 80's so that should be just fine.... Take care, Sandra

Hello Sandra,
Hope your aches and pains are gone. Sounds like you have been very busy, working in your gardens. These last couple days have been great, haven't they? Take care. ~Deborah
Whew! I am tired just reading about all that work! Being disabled does come in handy at times. I can't do yard work. I have a doctor's note!
There is an advantage to me that you aren't putting pictures on right now. With my slow computer your journal won't load for me when pictures are on it, unless they are smaller. You will be disappointed next year if you use those seeds and think you will get all heavenly blue again. You will get some heavenly blue but they are hybrid and won't hold true to color. But anyway all Morning Glories are beautiful I think. They put on such a show for being annuals.
You should go to Chili Johns tomorrow :-) Do you go to the Krolls on the West side or the east side? My mom was just here visiting and brought us cheese curds and two things of chili johns. nummy. Pamela
