Well yard work is something I needed to do but I haven’t got a lot done lately. So today was major work day. I put out my rainbow chairs for my summer around the big tree in front.

Then I pulled out all the plate flowers I made last year. Decide red which stayed together and which came apart and washed all of them in the dog’s pool. Then I went in the get hard as nails and glues everything that came apart back together. So they are now cleaned and drying and waiting to be put back into the garden.

Then David and I took out all the plants. The house is now plant free for awhile. I put all the plants all around the yard. I repotted and put more dirt in the plants that needed it.

Then I put the finishing touches on my fairy garden. Then mini fairy garden turned out very nice. I love it. It has a beach and a sand castle house, a mountain home that is a teapot, a zen church, a little stream. It has a fairy boutique with a white picket fence and a little wooden garden and I made a nome cave and they are grading emeralds! So fun.

I started making a plant tower. Couldn’t afford a $200 on ebay so I made my own with a $8 lamp post. I put my tri stacking pots on it and it turned out very well. I have to put my herbs in it.

After cleaning up, taking a nap, I went and worked on a chair for awhile

Today, except for me being sick was an ok chemo day. We got up drive to Madison. It was suppose to be a wonderful day in the 80’s. I can’t believe that because we had such a bad winter today was suppose to be 80! Maybe by the time we go home. Then we can take a nap and go I the basement for tonight because we are expecting bad thunderstorms. Coffee doesn’t like thunderstorms. She feels the safest in the basement. With the television on you can really hear anything down there.

Chemo this week is a pill. Getting it down Coffee gets harder and harder. Because it’s a pill she has to drink a lot and pee a,lot because if the pill stays in her bladder it causes and infection. So flush flush flush

Well no chemo today. Blood playlets are 1254 and they need to be 1500. So we come back next week. We just keep plugging away!

Today is my niece Debbie’s birthday. I was in the elementary school when she was born and I took a Red Cross baby sitting class so I could take care of her. She lived in Arkansas but I got to see her occasionally and pretty soon her brother Jamie was born.

Debbie was always special. She was the light of our lives for a long time. A divorce left us estranged from my other two nieces and nephews so having Debbie is our lives was so exciting. She was so cute and so wonderful. Nieces are always wonderful and she made us so happy.

Happy Birthday Debbie

I hate being sick. I hate being tired.
I hate being up all not and have my sleep bothered.
I hate smelling clover
I hate running to the bathroom over and over
I hate being sick. I hate not eating.
I hate that my body keeps taking a beating
I hate soup and I hate tea
I hate that the virus won’t let me be
I hate it …I Hate IT …I hate it….I do
I hate that that I can’t have the potatoes and stew
I hate not getting anything done
I hate that all I can do is run and run
I hate being sick, I hate being tired
I hate feel yucky….oh no the pepto expired!

Busy collecting used things, looking at ETSY and EBAY for items for my fairy garden and I think I have just what I needed. Here I go.

We went up to Nerlin to change dad’s grave. While I am there I put flowers on Ruth and my grandparent’s graves. While we were there we went for a walk in what I call Cookie’s Park. She loved that park and that fountain. Trying to get her to stay out of the fountain was no easy task.

Then we went to Limberlost Rehoming where Bonnie lives and we helped her transport three Pekinese handicapped dogs to new foster homes. Leo, Sylvia and Precious, Leo can’t walk well, Precious is missing and eye and Sylvia lost the from part of her jar, so she can’t bark. They were all dumped and found their way to Bonnie. I guess Leo has ahi e in Michigan now but the other two don’t have a forever home yet.

Precious and Sylvia are good together, maybe we can find them a forever home with someone who likes disabled pets.

Teachers teachers I am one
Teacher teachers have so much fun
They talk and talk and talk some more
Teachers can talk you right out the door

Teachers teachers I am one
Teacher teacher get out in the sun
They stand in the snow, cold and rain
They have recess duty in all terrines

Teachers teachers I am one
Teachers teachers give them some
Cookies and cakes and treats galore
They eats lots of treats from students galore

Teachers teachers I am one
Teachers teachers it’s a pun
That they get lots of free times
They work day and night and use their own dimes.

Teachers teachers I am one
Teachers teachers they always come
When you’re hurt or sick or tired
Their love for their students is never expired

I am in the process of learning a out and making a tiny fairy garden. Most fairy gardens are inside but mine is going outside by my side door, so that means I have to make sure all my tiny fairy items can be watered and secured to something. I will pack it up in the winter.

Happy May Day 2014

Winter so really over. I saw robins, little purple crocuses, and a daffodil I have seen over the last few days. Yes spring is here even the tornadoes have appeared. But winter is over.
