Ketchup-Day

 

 

How are you?  

I'm pleased to say we've had over five and a half inches of rain in the past week or so. The plants are happy.

AND speaking of plants.  I got a honey mandarin orange tree for Mother's Day. My daughter grew a lemon tree from seed and I said I wanted to try that, though possibly with orange seeds. She pointed out that all things consider, i.e. age, maybe I should get a sapling. 😆-


AND There's all kinds of blackberries on the bush this year.  Looks like the birds and I will be going toe to toe when they ripen.  


 Frank had the guy-sprawl thing going and took up his piece of the couch as well as half of Callie's.


 Oh by the way, if you haven't read this post, I highly recommend it. It's got an unexpected twist that I just loved and sure didn't see coming.

That's it for now, Blogger Buds. Enjoy the rest of your week. 

Addendum 

Whoops. I didn't preset my date when I did my Wed and Thursday post, shown below.  I should be back on track Friday.
