"A surprise for me?"

Written by Sue, Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011                    cold, clouds with rain, brrrr! 40's temps.
Do you like to get surprises through the mail? Of course, we all do, now, Sue what a silly question you have asked!! Yesterday dh brought this box to me!

Let's see... there is some pretty yellow tissue paper, and what's this bright orange... and get well wishes in those cards!

 Oh! my beautiful smiling faces at me, especially

these beautiful ladies, daughter, Susan,granddaughters Susie and Katie!!
It seems they had heard through the grapevine that grandma was had been under the weather. So they  wanted to make her all better, and oh! how right they were. Grandmama is all better, and back to her normal self, if that is possible! lol "Thank you, my darlings"

*************************************
I did have a bump in the road, but all is well now! We have been so busy trying to get the farm, and animals ready for winter. Plus this is the time of year that we begin to plan for next year's growing season and one of the things we do around here is plant our strawberry plants now, so when spring comes we will have a bountiful crop. 

First you disc the plot, 
Step # 2, you lay the black plastic with drip tube,
 He's so cute, and Lucy is never far away from her Master!
Hopefully the plants you have ordered come in healthy, and these look great, they are called sets.

 You then humble yourself and crawl up and down the row planting each one, all 500 sets, Yes! 500! ~smile~ or should I say oh! my aching knees. If we were commercial growers we would have a machine, but since this is for us, we do it the old fashion way.>>> down on your knees! LOl.

Well Ladies, it is now 3:45 and dh has just reminded me that I need to get my walking done, isn't it nice to have your own personal trainer, btw, one who doesn't even walk with you, his excuse "I get too much exercise",. I think I am going to rename him my "Cheerleader." I will be back this evening to finish visiting!
Enjoy your day,
Until next time,
Hugs,
Sue
