Good evening. Nearly midnight so quickly checking before bed. I’ve had a quiet but busy day, if that makes sense. Deciding not to take George on to the moors I instead went to a large field owned by a Cornish Heritage charity. As we walked I remembered how Betty used to love to trot alongside George, so proud of herself! I am missing her funny ways but concentrate on all the jobs needed to be completed so mucked out the hens, cleared more weeds and then had another bonfire. It was a mild day and dry until this evening but thankfully everything in the fire drum was down to ashes by the time the rain started.
Good news, both pots of tomato seeds are sprouting so my next task will be to clear out my greenhouse, clean the glass and prepare for another season.
Thank you Barbie. 🥰
More snow Lin? Perhaps that is why we are apparently going to get cold again next week!
Enjoy your dinner tonight Sandy.
Thank you all for thinking of me. I’m doing alright knowing Betty is in doggy heaven! George goes everywhere with me again, the way he did before having to keep Betty company. He is a bit clingy but that’s understandable.
Off to bed. Take care.

Happy Friday! 😁 Not sure I like this new format for posting. I started my laundry and then went for a mani/pedi for my birthday. It is raining and/or snowing but not sticking just yucky. I did not sleep well last night so I am thinking of a nap.
Jackie, Betty is having fun with all the other dogs until you meet again. Our dinner was good but the presentation too long. It was a dental office that specializes in tooth implants. Since I don't have dental insurance it is out of the question for me. I will keep my crowns and have them replaced if necessary which might happen to two of my front teeth since one of them has a crack in the back and it is attached to another tooth. I am sure George misses Betty but loves the attention he is getting from you. Just take care of yourself.
Lin, looks like we both have some dental problems, the tooth that is cracked in the back is also chipped. I would leave it alone since the small chip doesn't bother me but I am worried about that crown cracking and falling off. Always something.
I hope Barbie and Annie are doing well.
Have a good day.

Happy Saturday! 😊 Finally a nice day with sun shining a temps close to 50. Family zoom call, Church and then birthday dinner number 1.
I hope all are well and can enjoy a good day.

Hello friends. Apparently my post went missing yesterday. But that’s okay, nothing noteable except a long phone conversation with a friend I’d not spoken with in months. She is organizing a get together for 3 of us who worked together once upon a time. Just an afternoon coffee/tea and talking meeting. We will see what happens.
Sandy, time to start birthday celebrations for you. Did you ask for anything in particular this year? I hope you have many pleasant gatherings. A couple of my friends are on a long cruise right now and are in Costa Rico (did I spell that right). Having loads of fun. They love the towel animals, the hiding and hunting for little trinkets and tiny ducks. They love the shows and volunteer to participate in all of them.
Jackie, you are a very productive lady. And I am glad is sticking close to you again. Good boy!
Barbie, hello, thinking of you and hoping everything in your home and your vehicle are working well. Take care
Be well everyone
Lin 🙋🏼♀️❤️❤️

Happy Saturday and International Women’s day! It has been quite mild so I’m continuing my outside chores, like moving a few plants out of a temporary bed used for over wintering in a sheltered spot. Hopefully we won’t get any more snow this season! Two rhubarb crowns ordered last week are ready to be planted and I am also going to move supports for climbing beans and peas but after walking George round the block this morning I decided housework was a priority so they will be jobs tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon was my lung CT scan in a mobile unit set up in a car park in town and I took George with me because I knew it wouldn’t take long, in fact less than 10 minutes, so he waited in the car. For a change of scene and smells I then walked him along some quiet roads which he really enjoyed, before heading home. I was fascinated because they weren’t places I had walked before and it was an old part of town that seemed to be deserted and a bit derelict so I’m curious to find out why. I phoned Sheila to tell her about Betty and she told me she has finally had her back injection and is already feeling stronger so I will call her again in the morning to check if she would like to join me and George for a walk.
That’s me for now! Glad you’re alright Lin as I was concerned when no post appeared. Enjoy the sunshine and dinner Sandy.Take care

Hello friends,
Nice to catch up with how everyone has been doing. Other than Sandys mini holiday it sounds pretty much as if most of us have been home finding a variety of things to keep us busy. With the seasons starting to change that means lots of projects to do that comes with spring. We got a couple of crape myrtles trimmed, plus a plum tree too. Getting to be a much larger job than we should be doing these days. Next year we will get someone to do it for us.
Barbie….So sorry about your loss of your husband. Glad to hear that your to do list regarding this is slowly getting accomplished. Also pleased that Annie is adapting to her new changes too. Thinking of you….
Jackie….Sorry for the loss of your pup. Going thru that is never easy. George will likely become your constant companion for a while. It is an adjustment for everyone. We lost our Jacque about 9 months ago. Think of him daily. I go back and forth whether to get another toy poodle or a kitty. As time passes, plus we are aging, it isn't a snap decision to make. We have had a dog/kitties for the last 55 yrs of our married life. Jacque appears daily on the front of my tablet so he is always remembered. So glad I have his photo.
Eagerly look for a message that you receive from Ann. She was such a sweetheart. Sorry to hear about her broken ankle and that the cast didn't work too well for her. Know all about "the boot" since I had to use one for some brokens toes yrs ago. Please tell her I miss seeing her on here and wish her well.
Lin….Love the cards that I have seen from what you have done. You are so talented doing that. Hope that your allergies are not hitting you hard right now. The blossoms are starting to appear on the trees in the community, which means our sneezes are getting more frequent. We were at our daughters last week. Her house is tucked on the back piece of property behind orchards all around her. The orchards belong to someone else, but she gets to enjoy the country scenery along with her 6 acres, 5 goats and 3 dogs, plus a pond that gets larger during the winter and smaller during the summer. They love their little piece of heaven. Two of her kids are on their own now, but her youngest is 14 so we see her occasionally. Miss not seeing them much, but life goes on.
Well I need to get started with dinner. Wish you all well and think of you all often.
Until next time Diane
