MONDAY MONDAY

Do you use coupons? I tried to use mine this weekend and most if not all of the products I had coupons for were not on the shelves or you had to buy two of something which I usually won't go for. If you know a trick to couponing please leave me a comment. I also had one heck of a grocery shopping trip Sunday (yesterday). We had the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox playing yesterday afternoon on top of Grand Opening for another store which is really this Wednesday but they put all the sales up starting yesterday in all of their existing stores. The situation came to the point where they had to form one line winding through the store and regulate the customers checking out and vary them on registers. The whole time I was there the Manager was talking over the loudspeaker explaining what was going on and likening it to a hurricane evacuation. I lived in FL and evacuated and stayed sometimes over the 15 plus years I lived there. Go through a real evacuation and hurricane Mr. Manager!!!!!!! I say. Actually I was surprised they did a really good job! No wonder I got a headache! The day before that I was sick with something don't know what and I still hadn't recovered as fully as I thought. I am pretty much pooped out today. Of course we stopped at Mack's Apple Farm I bought peaches, pears, yellow cherry size tomatos and fresh apple cider. It is Fall! Beautiful temps with it sometimes being a bit still too warm during the day but cool nights. I look forward to my triple thrill. I will share a picture of these very mature trees when they turn. One is red one is orange and one is yellow. They are huge mature maples I believe. There is a cute tree the city planted in the sidewalk nearby a couple of years ago. It is half red and half green right now! I will share a picture of that cutey soon too. Do you live somewhere where Fall is starting? It is my favorite season.

TRULY THURSDAY

Where did this week go? Tomorrow is Friday and another trip to the country on Saturday. Hmmmmm can I remember my camera this time????? The trees are just starting to turn color here in southern NH. We are having muggy days rain and cool nights. Jumping on the band wagon here and I have been winning some awesome free Christmas gifts for my family and friends. On my home page you can come check it out by clicking on the Listia button to the right of the screen. It is FREE! Also I do swaps at Swapbot.com ~ my screename is glennasgarden. Since I closed down my Etsy shop and have devoted my time to these two other venues. I am actually less stressed out and more happy. I had a horrible summer healthwise and would not have been able to do ETSY any way. I am happy to report that I am doing much better. I started these jade plants from leaves that I won on Listia! these are the newest babies to Glenna's Garden.

Day One

 

About a month later now. Some leaves didn't make it. These are growing strong. I have never done this before. So it is very exciting for me. I have many times sucessfully rooted plants in water. They like moisture around them and this must be a perfect spot. There is a water catch tray under the cactus and the poinsettia as well as the basil next to them. They are loving their new home here at Glenna's Garden in southern NH.

Have you ever done any interesting propagating of plants like this? I would love to hear your stories!

My grandsons Summer 2011

The previous posts are all out of date especially Mother's Day. I finally figured out how to work this blog. They have made many changes and I wasn't aware of it or maybe too sick to figure it out. I am feeling so much better more strength and energy. I walked 2 miles yesterday! Back to the old me and I am so excited it is finally Fall. I have been going to Mack's Apple Farm on my Saturday shopping trips with my friends. They still have the yellow cherry tomatos oh so sweet and juicy plus wonderful peaches are in now some are baseball size and so sweet and juicy too. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and a family reunion at that time with my brother and two sisters and all of our children. Plus my daughter in law and the two grandsons. Wow so many people when I think about it. I am really excited to see everybody and for my grandsons to meet everyone. My sons the two oldest of all of our children are ages 30 and the oldest is almost 34. They have never met my younger brother's family. They have the youngest 3 children ages 7, 9 and 11. My grandsons from my oldest son are now ages 3 plus and 14 months. The baby learned how to walk about a month ago or a little less. I swear he is calling name Nana. He still has his own language. He is trying to copy his older brother. I am so blessed! Thank you Lord for my family watch over them and protect them Amen!

Mother's Day Today

Today is Mother's Day. I had mine last night and with my grandsons too. We had fun! My grandsons are 10 months and 3 years....we were playing cars, blowing bubbles, coloring, playing with toys, tossing the ball, eating pizza, feeding baby brother, baby boy is crawling now and babbling away in a langauge of his own. He always has the sweetest smile and is especially cute with just a couple of front teeth on the bottom. I also got my first chunky page from a friend today......I am very interested in making one. Do you know anything about chunky pages? I will of course be exploring this more on line. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the Mommies in the world!

WAY TOO LONG AGO

Time can go by and if you don't have time or make time to blog. It is nice to come back to it. I am back on again! My pomegranate plant is going crazy this year. So beautiful is the dark orange red color of the flower.

Been A Long Time Friends

Wow I went all Spring and Summer not writing in my blog. At one point I became frustrated with trying to blog because this site wasn't working right for me. I guess I was busy and very ill at one point. Still recovering almost all better. I lost a lot of strength. Today is Sept 2 the weather is cooler and even need a blanket at night.

Tuesday Tuesday

Rain rain and more rain from the latest tropical storm which is still down south. We need rain it was a long HOT summer! Good for a nice Fall up here in NH especially our crops. I said it Fall. I painted a watercolor and then ink drawing ACEO of pumpkins at the marketplace the other day. I might get some small pumpkins this year and decorate. I go to a new market now. It is on an apple orchard. This Saturday I will be making a stop for those late summer crops and new delicious apple variety to try. I never knew there were so many different kinds of apples. What are you doing for Fall? I would love to find some gourds dry them out and paint to look like birds. I have one that was given to me a couple of years ago and every Fall it becomes an inspiration to me. What inspires you? I made a nice bookmark for Fall. Both the bookmark and this ACEO are going to a Swapbot.com friend for a surprise blessing package. May you have a wonder filled day!!!!!
