Wonderful, glorious days!


The past few days have been absolutely perfect. Right now the temp is 71 degrees. That's just unheard of for this time of year here. It's so, so pleasant to be outside, which is where I love to be these days. My flowers are all blooming and my caladiums are coming up. Each day is a new surprise that I look forward to. Today I went to the garden and got a bunch of cucumbers and potatoes. My brother had already picked all the squash, but there will be more in a few days. I even pulled a few carrots. I only have about seven plants, but they each have a carrot under them. My brother loves beets, so he picked some beets for Mom to pickle for him. Life is good. God is good!

Betty I hafta be honest and I had to google caladiums since I had no idea what kinda flower it was. Would you believe I have a hanging basket full of artifical caladiums and have had them for years and thought they were so pretty is why I bought them anyway? So I am sure the real ones you have are really pretty. Glad your garden is doing well and I am shocked that you are already getting stuff out of it.
That is just great and good eating too!

My real ones were beautiful last year, but they really struggled late in the summer with the heat. This year I have a more heat reisistant variety, so I hope they will be as pretty. I really love them.
