Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 5:27 am Tonight Rons cousin Judy and her hubby came by,and i think she helped boost my spirits and a beer believe it or not.Later after they left, Me and Ron went to walmart where i bought several yards of material to start a new quilt.The 1st of the year we painted our bedroom a lovely chocolate color and the comforter we bought last fall,just doesnt match perfect now so i was gonna make a quilt for the bed and now im getting it going. I cut out several squares tonight and started piecing it to see how it will look and its gonna be lovely!!..My mood now is excited!..smiling.. Tomorrow ill post a few pics of the start of it.. Any ways,all,thanks for the kind words and they were very appreciated!! Good night! Kat.. This blog entry has been viewed 397 times
Tore between to places
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 2:53 am In between loving this place, i also hate it.I feel like a deserter not being home. Six hours is just to far from folks and family.Ron knows im not happy and he is content here. His place is paid off and he grew up here. So he has no want to move.I cant say i blame him, but i try to think what i'd do if it was him in my perdicament. So im depressed,if i leave it will be alone and are relationship over. Sorry, guess its my vent night,this is a blog right,so if it bore's ya ,you can stop reading it and go to another, it wont hurt my feelings,but i have to vent,,, Right now Rons pal is here,their drinking beer and his friend is here cause he's dealing with going to a funeral maybe if his wife's grandfather dies,and making a trip to new york,and that just made my dads problem hit home more! i cant handle them getting drunk right now so,sorry again! I MAY CALL MY BOYS SOONER THAN I PLANNED NOW.. This blog entry has been viewed 639 times
****The perfect place for a Koi pond****
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:57 pm Its not where i'd like it to be,i'd like it over near the garden shed ,buts its to shady.but since garden ponds need 4 to 6 hours of sunlight to grow plants that flower in them that wont happen..Also they say koi and plants dont mix,well i had both before and the koi were distructive,pulling my plants out of their pots(big mess) at times. But koi are so friendly! they say guppies are good to keep mosquito larva down,but from my brother experience with them in a fish tank many years ago,their great for making way to many babies. The sun is trying to come out,in between clouds. I sure hope it stays out eventually today. Ive read several articles on water gardens and some seem scary as far as size , about not putting rocks in the pond,and so forth,whether galvanized stock tanks will rust over time and so forth.The kind of articles written to lure you away from building one,thats not a kit. Guess i'll just do the best i can and hope for the best! Dont know if ill be outside today or not ,depending on weather,keeping fingers crossed.

I have a idea
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 12:23 am Sitting around together last night i talked to Ron about making a water garden out of a cattle watering tub, you know those great big metal ones.We have one in our barn.(why waste it)...dig a hole and bury it in the ground..why not, i think.. I had a water garden at my old house and had koi and goldfish in it,they loved cheerios cereal. Today is very depressing,rain ,rain and more rain! I want outside in the sun and warmth so bad! All ive been doing is reading all those garden magazines i bought and got depressed from them,lol..

In my travels , Is that a gnome?
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 8:52 pm This week end i found one ....a gnome ,yup..for 10.00 at Artichoke Annie's in columbia, found it coming back home. Saturday leaving for piedmont, we stoped there and i found a wicker chair (again) for 25.00,no paint on it at all,very dull gray looking. Couldnt take it then because the truck was full and said i'd pay for it now,pick it up on the way back.Ron also found more lightening rods(no glass balls) for them.While there ,there sat 2 gnomes and i liked one of them and took it home. The other object in pic i got at Yellow Moon,i really like it.I'll find a home for both outside somewhere in the flower gardens when the weather gets nice.I also found some old garden tools that saturday at Artichoke Annie's,they were only 3 and 4.00 each.Oh i love to find deals like that! I see them alot for 18.00 to 20.00,thats too high!!.. Oh and i also found a bunch of country living garden magazines and bhgardens(country gardens) for only 50 cents(bought 17 of them)lol// .Yes im a sucker for a pretty garden magazine(front covers get me all the time!  some new treasures

Im back home....
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 2:37 am Well we made it back .Easter went good. Dad looked worse than the last time,the nursing home lost his teeth! Its been over a week too!..We picked him up and took him to moms for easter and i baked a ham and made the broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes etc. I cut dads ham up for him,he had a great appetite,but i felt bad he couldnt eat regular. Seen only 1 of 6 grandkids,(thats along story) that made me sad! Seen 3 of my 4 kids as well(sad). My mom and sis got into it,(the fun of family togetherness)lol...sad! (GOOD NEWS) I got some bargains(antiques).I'll show pics another time. The sun was out the whole weekend. I cooked a good meal for easter. I stayed sober all weekend!..lol.. All and all not a bad time,except i wished Me and Ron lived there,and we could be there for my family more.....go figure,,, This blog entry has been viewed 578 times
All packed and ready to go....
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:26 am Ron has been busy all day,no slowing him down, he even mowed the yard so the grass will be still nice when we get back. Is he crazy? lol..To cold for me out there,and he drained my fountain that we had been enjoying till this nasty cold weather,dont want it to freeze up while were gone. I on the other hand did what most women do,i colored my hair,then i had to also frost it,thank god i bought the hair color and frosting,or i'd be going home to dark haired(yuk).So ya i had to do my hair twice today,Ron would come in and just kinda laugh. Also im bringing home my old iron bed to put in one of her rooms for me sleeping room.Ron joked with me saying there would be no room for anything we might find at a antique store along the hwy home.Ha.. we will find the room if we come across something we just have to have! lol... The weather has cooled, and sure fooled all us fools. but we figured it out... it was to soon to put out... to do all again ,we will get it back out. Maybe next year we will know ... to take it a little more slow .. For in case we still get snow. 
But its human nature to hurry... to plant and not worry ... And to this is a fools big mistake. Though the weather looks pretty it can change quick in a hurry... Better safe to wait , Better to plant late! by kat... See you all next week! hugs... bye.. This blog entry has been viewed 345 times
Oh the wind
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:24 pm Its mighty fierce today! The suns out ,but still cold! Packed my suitcase last night,im about ready for our trip home tomorrow. We bought a ham to take home and it will stay good in the cooler for the drive home. I hate leaving Bear here inside by himself,the other kitties will be in the garage ,and bailey will be in his pen. Rons brother will come over to feed them daily while were gone, but i just feel sad leaving Bear,he is 17 years old. Wish the weather would be warm when we get back,but its suppose to rain Tuesday and Wednesday and the temp will still be rather low. Any ways ,ill be seeing the kids and grandkids ,that makes me happy! So go ahead and blow wind,you cant keep me from that! A HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE!

Dreaming of warmer days to come
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:21 pm Sitting here eatting my english muffins this morning,the sun shinning bright,how deceitful it really is. The sun makes you want to go out,but its only in the 30's out there. Wish it was Saturday morning and we were on our way to my moms already. Looked at my grape hyacinths outside,they seem okay,the tulips are still standing,they dont look all mushy.Hope every one is getting through this nasty weather.But we do have alot to be thankful for ,we werent in the tsunami,we missed the tornadoes, and so for,we just got frosted on.Thank god for small miracles right. If your stuck indoors today,keep warm. If your sick,get better quick. If you cant be home for Easter,call home.!! If you cant think of a thing to say in your blog,just tell everyone hi today and smile!  Me back the other day.
 Me today dressed for winter.
