We all want to relive our past, but sometimes the future calls. Since Feb things have been crazy. I have had to put my blogging on hold. Life comes at you fast. My daughter graduated college and is now preparing to start Graduate school...she is doing the fast one..get it done in a year! Good for her! I am so proud of her! We FINALLY made it through til Spring. The cold is gone, and I miss it! I cannot take the heat anymore since hitting menopause after my hysterectomy! I love the cool days and enjoy the cold ones even. Yeah, people say I'm crazy! :) Haha. My husband and I were quite busy while it was cold. We started cleaning out his Uncle's place of all the scrap metal,as well as hitting his mom's place. We made a bundle off it, and there is more to get but it will have to wait til this winter again. We made enough to pay our property taxes and some other things that always come up in life! Always surprises when you own property,cars, and a house! We were also busy this spring setting up at sales and selling antiques. We did quite well with this also. We will do it sparingly through the summer months, as it gets too hot to be set up outside. Some things we sell are in plastic and heat does not work well with that! There have already been some 90 degree days, and I stay inside as much as possible. We got our garden in earlier in the spring and now I am about ready to be overflowing with vegetables, so the canner will be coming up and those veggies will be put up! I am so ready to eat a good home grown tomato right now! Anything really! Cucumbers, squash,zucchini,okra,peppers,green beans,etc. My onion crop was pretty good. Radishes were good too ,but I let them go into seed early and didn't get them spaced out. I even have some wild pumpkins growing..they were in the compost pile and now are growing like crazy! Potatoes are growing all over the place too. They wont be ready to dig out until the end of August or so. With all the rain we have had I can't stay on top of the weeds! Even with raised beds you have to deal with weeds! Ugh! I have fallen behind with my crafting! I am trying to get into my craft room to get it straightened out and cleaned up! I found a lot of really good deals at some estate sales we have been to recently. There is a big auction we are planning to hit soon too. I know it will have a lot of goodies. if we can snatch them at good deals they will be resold. I certainly love to go antiquing! And I love decorating my house with them! Nothing is made these days like it was years ago! I would rather use anything from years ago! I love my vintage Pyrex bowls and casseroles! Everything tastes better coming out of vintage dishes! Talk about the past! Wow! People today are wasteful. We could learn a lot from our great grand parents! I did!
