Karin de Haas – Funda Altincekic Aysel

I hope that you, also, cannot be down after looking at another of Karin de Haas’ pieces. I love the absolute surrender to laughter and love of life shown in her work. I would love to BE the lady here.

I’m leaving soon to meet my miracle-worker-hair-dresser, Michael Remillard, Tangles, Greenwood AR, who will hopefully, once again, be able to bring order out of chaos. :0) I’m taking him a gallon bag of lettuce from our garden, since he’s a salad lover, like me.

Women’s Health

I was a good girl yesterday, doing half an hour or so of yoga stretching plus a 10-minute video on general movement, plus another 10-minute video on exercises with weights. That’s pretty good for an old broad like me. I’ll try to do that again today.

When I get home from my haircut, I’ll stop and get the mail and then go up and gather trash to take back down to the bottom of the driveway to put in the trash can I’ll drag down. I’m trying to be proactive about this because I don’t want to even THINK about my husband skidding and falling on the gravel in the driveway.

Better Homes & Gardens

Not sure what the rest of the day will hold. We’re forecast to get rain late tonight into tomorrow morning. I’m hoping my veggie plants will get a nice soaking rain from it. There is always the possibility of hail, but they are not emphasizing it now, so I’m not planning to cover my planters.

I’m still angry at myself. My husband and I had finished eating dinner in front of the TV and we were still watching a program with Amber on her bed in front of the TV. All of a sudden I heard noise in the kitchen. Amber had oozed her way off her bed and sneaked into the kitchen while I was distracted. She ate half of the roast beef and sauce from the skillet on the stove. She has done this a couple of times before. I KNOW better than to leave the gate to the kitchen open. It’s really hard to take when your dog is smarter and more sneaky than you.

Have a wonderful day.

This glorious color with the addition of water drops really got my attention. Simply stunning.

I hope you’re feeling good this morning.

Password Safe

For several years, my husband and I have used the program Password Safe to securely store all the myriad user names and passwords we use on a day to day basis. Awhile back, my husband decided that MY use of this was somehow messing him up on his computer, so I stopped, writing down all of my most important ones in a notebook. I couldn’t find another program I liked, so have been limping along, having to check my notebook, type in my name and password, etc.

Long story shorter, he decided to change programs recently, agreeing that I would use Password Safe again. We got it installed on my computer again, but had trouble importing the data from his machine to mine. So now I am laboriously rebuilding all the groups and passwords manually. UGH. I’ll be happy when this is finished. I’m only working on it intermittently. The fact that my husband is having trouble getting his new choice installed on his computer makes me smile a bit, if I’m being honest…

Yesterday I weeded the brick planters east of the house that we converted to square foot planters last year. I’ll get lettuce and spinach plants for this one, plus anything else that grabs my attention.

I’ll put tomato plants in this one. You can see the tomato plant supports.

This is the planter we call the ‘niche’ planter, since it is protected from the wind by the back of the house and then the porch on another side. Tomato plants will go in this one, too.

As you can see, one of the next things will be using the weed whacker to clean up the area around the planters. We might look for plants today, after we get the mail and leave our trash at the bottom of the driveway.

Enjoy your day!
