My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Re: My Place

Hi there @Oaktree Thanks for your letters. They have my favourite thing in the whole world..

Good news and lots of sunshine. As I'm typing you just popped into my mail box again.

You have e s p. So , Your very brave hubby is up and back in the workforce. To say thats a big achievement would be understating it. friend

And your industrious little hands creating gifts and bringing life to your garden. Passing the time

finding pleasures in the little joys of life, one eye on the door waiting for your wonderful man to

return to your waiting arms.

I'm feeling good n warm with that picture, so I'm going to go right there.

Kind thoughts to you my friend.

You are right. I was waiting for my hubby’s return. I rushed out to the driveway to meet him and grabbed his bag and water bottle. I had the kettle boiling for him but he only wanted a cold drink.

He did really well today and he is not even being grumpy with me even though he is in loads of pain. I love that man with all my heart!!!

You have a very vivid and accurate imagination.

@Oaktree I am glad you are growing this thread. Your way. Denial of the down times can actually be worse than being honest about them. Once said and accpeted, it kind of gives the space to also be enthusiastic and all the other more light hearted ways. For me I am used to beinding and stretching to fit in, so finding my way has been a recent journey.

cheers... off to yoga...

This morning I went to Mah-jong for the second time. Last time I went I fluked one win. Today I won 4 times. Must be beginners luck I reckon. Had a decent time. I had to walk there and back because hubby is at work today and so he has the car.

My cucumbers are looking great! I hope my other seeds germinate soon. I am not the most patient person waiting for that to happen.

Tomorrow I get my first shipment of Lite n Easy. I am excited to get started. Day 1 will be Thursday.

I got 4 of my crocheted squares blocked this morning so now I am waiting for them to dry. I have to crochet two more and then block the final 3 squares.

Today is a good day! Life is good.

Re: My Place

Hi @Oaktree,

So lovely to hear you sounding so happy today! Sounds like you are a natural at Mah-jong 🙂.

Also sounds like you are going really well with your crocheting - love to see it when it's all done if you are happy to post a picture (no problem if you don't want to).

Hope the rest of the week is just as good for you!

Warm wishes,

Hi @EternalFlower

Yes you are right it was a show with Trixie Mattel in it. I watch a lot of reality tv. I like all kinds of rubbish. Sister Wives, Seeking Sister Wife, 90 Day Fiance, Teen Mom, Married at First Sight etc etc. My hubby hates it lol. I used to enjoy the court shows like Judge Judy but hubby was so adamantly opposed that I stopped watching them. Same with crime shows like Law and Order. I guess I don’t have very good taste in television.

I am glad that you have found a show which you like to watch.
