Still working on stuff in my house

I have so many ideas.. now to have the energy to do them all as you can imagine.. last week my week was focused on getting a planter together, and get the soil.. and get my plants.. I cant garden outside as we have too many deer, bunnies and squirrels.. lol.. so I decided to try indoors.. I have no idea if this is gonna work.. but I am trying it.. 

I still am deciding on whether or not to get a grow light.. mostly to keep the plants straight as this is too heavy to be moved.. will decide next month.. 

Below are some of the veggies I put in.. 

This is my cherry tomato. and bell pepper (red one).. 

This is an Italian sweet pepper and I regular tomato.. I couldnt find a patio one so hope this works.. 


This is my cucumber.. added a netting for it to climb up.. I also planted 3 bush green beans.. I will add photos weekly so you can see how this works out..

Just an update on things..

I got these wonderful shelves on Amazon.. put them up in my living room first.. then got ones for my bedroom.. first for my books.. then for my yarn.. I orginally had the books where the yarn will be.. so it took a while to move them all.. I literally filled them up with books and crocheting books.. lol.. 

This will be my rack for my baby yarn and my sport weight yarn.. I just started organizing it.. so have been busy with that.. this was the best investment I made.. I can see at a glance what I have in all my kinds of yarn.. the worsted weight is in the living room.. it is the same.. as this one.. filled with worsted weight yarn by colors.. this will better keep me organized..

Books I read in April - Part 2

I meant to get back to this the next day.. but my keyboard literally kicked the bucket.. so I had to wait for it to arrive (Thanks Amazon) and had a free moment to attach it.. for a person who is retired.. lol.. I dont often have days where I dont have anything to do.. Getting back to my list of books I read in April..

China Bayles #1 - Thyme of Death by Susan Wittig Albert

Started a new series as I own some of the later books.. it is cute.. and I like it.. Got that one from the library as I owned book 2

China Bayles #2- Witches' Bane by Susan Wittig Albert

I own this and it is now up for sale on eBay.. 

A Dog's Purpose #1 - A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

I was afraid that this would be a sad book.. but it wasnt.. I loved it.. I owned the book and it is now up for sale on eBay

A Dog's Purpose #2 - A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Cameron

I downloaded this from the library.. plan on reading the rest of the series.. right now I am on a streak to work on reading my own books.. lol..

Books I read in April - Part 1

 I  honestly didnt get any reading done in March.. literally none.. but made up for it since then.. 

Virtual Mode by Piers Anthony

Piers Anthony is probably one of my favorite Authors.. I can honestly say I have read a good portion of his books

I have this up for sale on eBay.. 


This book was actually enjoyable.. I am finding I rather like mysteries.. I have this in paperback form.

I have this up for sale on eBay also..






I downloaded this from Amazon.. it was a freebie for me from the author.. seemed my type of book.. and I can say I actually enjoyed this.. it was more of a supernatural book. So I am recommending it.. If you have Kindle Unlimited it is free..

So long since I have been here

I have been so busy running to Doctor appointments both for me and my cats.. I had my eye surgery scheduled for my second cataract surgery, but cancelled it when I found out my cat had cancer from his rabies vaccination.  That rather threw me for a loop.. after investigating on how to treat it, my vet and I came to the conclusion that it would be best treated at Cornell.. not an easy thing to do.  

Then my gallbladder acted up.. bad enough that they said surgery had to be done.. Again not an easy thing to plan in between the eye surgery that was rescheduled, labwork and tests for me, and Link needed more tests for Cornell.

I finally had my surgery and am recovering, and Link's paperwork is in at Cornell, so now maybe I can focus on my sales and crocheting.. at least a little.. Again sorry so long..
