Five Good Things

[dreamflower]

I've decided to jump on the five good things bandwagon with many of my friends:

1. The weather today was absolutely gorgeous: cool this morning and a high of only 80F.
2. We got to Stillwater to pick up the police report without any mishap. Plus, when we found out how much a fax would cost ( O_0 ), the DH called Geico. They gave us the name of a local agent who could send it for us for no cost!
3. I only have about eight rows left on the body of my tunic-blouse that I am crocheting, and then I can get on to the sleeves and the trim!
4. I hung new blinds in one set of my sewing room windows. And I got a lot of progress made with my cleaning and organizing in there.
5. Best for last: for supper tonight we had HOMEGROWN BAKED SWEET POTATOES along with our baked chicken strips and salad with HOMEGROWN TOMATOES for supper tonight! We've never grown sweet potatoes before--these were grown from slips grown from ordinary grocery store sweet potatoes. These were delicious, and we still have about three-quarters of the little bed we made to still dig up.

BONUS: Today I also got my $10 gift card for Walmart in the mail. Four times a year I do this climate survey for OSU, and then they send me a $10 gift card! Couldn't have come at a better time, since we are low on funds right now.

Hooray for HOMEGROWN! I'm glad you're enjoying the happies, large and small.

We've had some nice bounty from our garden this year. The sweet potatoes were delicious! And most of the tomatoes we are getting now are our little cherry tomatoes, although we are stilly getting a couple of Early Girls and Romas a week.

I like the happy meme!

Yum! I had some homegrown tomatoes a couple of weeks ago. Heaven.

Most of ours right now are our last few Early Girls and Romas and tons and tons of both red and yellow cherry tomatoes!

Well, as John Denver sang: "Only two things that money can't buy, that's true love and homegrown tomatoes!"

Particularly impressed with the home grown supper:-)
And well done in looking at the good things in life despite shocks and frustrations:-)

We've had some really nice things out of the garden this year. I just brought in my last eggplant, and in addition to the sweet potatoes and tomatoes which we are still getting, we had lots of lettuce, radishes, onions, cucumbers, green beans, and some squash earlier in the year.

That's really impressive, and a very satisfying thing to do:-)

You are so productive. Growing your own food, making clothes and working on the house. I feel exhausted just reading all that.

Having said that, I suspect there's nothing sweeter than eating food you've grown yourself, especially when the 'seed' was free.

LOL! Thanks!

Homegrown does have a much better taste--ESPECIALLY tomatoes!

ASgkiulsa I had to go check up on your journal when you mentioned the police report/insurance (!!!) *HUGS* You said he jerked his back, is he doing okay? I'm glad (as far as you've said) that no one was badly hurt

Also, yay for growing your own noms :D
