We have been nestled in our warm home this cold, snowy winter, finding things to catch up on that need taking care of, cleaning out and sharing things with others that are not used anymore. Restoring things that have been needed repairing and of course feeding our birds outdoors. So wonderful having them come and visit the birdfeeder and watch their antics and enjoy the colors and conduct.
Now its time to plan ahead for the garden this coming summer. Seeds are ordered and one Co already has sent them to us.
To plan where and when they are to be planted is my next chore which is always such fun. Starting some new things this year just for curiosity, such as Sorgham, which is a plant that grows quite high, needs lots of warmth and sun and is used to make a syrup from the stalks and takes the place of sugar. Have to figure out a way I can press the stalks here at home to get the syrup. No more Bees as it has proven to be detrimental to me as I have become alergic to their stings, so now I am planning a garden of Herbs and Flowers that are beneficial to them and that is the most I can do for the plight of the Honey Bee.
Since my last Blog we have had the honor of being Great Grandparents now three times. How wonderful it is to see these darling little ones and watching them grow. We havent been able to visit with them often but when we do it is a real treasure. Trust we will be around a little longer to experience their growth.
Life is still as awesome and inspiring as ever except for a few down times here and there we are still going along quite well and very grateful for each and every day, thanks to our Higher Power.
Blessings to you all
Nan and Pop
