Gardening

Today is gardening day. I must get it weeded, tilled and planted. Granted, my garden is quite small, but if I don't get it done, I will lose my growing season. It's sort of rainy and cool today, but I think I can still get out there and get it done. I am planting tomatoes, lettuce (per the request of Donna next door), herbs, and pumpkins. I might plant a little squash too as Laura and I love it.

We had a good time yesterday visiting and having dinner with the Ramirezs next door. It was so good to catch up with neighbors. Like I said yesterday, I feel like I am coming out of a fog. Tom smoked a pork roast and a turkey breast. Both Donna and I made salads. Donna made a banana pudding that was absolutely delicious. I have to find the recipe. She said it is called "Not your Ma's Banana Pudding" by Paula Dean. She said you can find it on the food network website. I need to look there, but not real soon as I am on yet another quest to lose some weight.

After dinner, we caught a late movie at our local theatre (it's just down the street). We went to see UP. It is an awesome movie, but you better have tissues handy. The main character reminded us so much of Pookie. Tom is still in a funk this morning, thinking about his Dad. Tom never cried at his Dad's funeral, but we all miss him in little ways, a little at a time.

Well, I am off to pull weeds and plant seeds. Sounds like a great day to me.
