Connie are you okay??

Thank you, Little Buddy.

Jude I am glad you like them! Sorry Carp that I wasn't on here to answer your question. I only have 1 hydrangea that is old. The others are newer and stay a certain color. It could be Mammacita's soil is right down the line of one side is acidic the other is neutral. Next year it may not happen. Either way they sound beautiful.

I was hoping for some rain so I won't have to fill the pond but sigh it looks like it will miss us again. My lower back is sorer than you know what. I ended up taking out the "flowerbed" she made. Actually Donnie did most of it the other day and we took the dirt and filled in on the side of the house where the roots are showing so I can mow over them. I told him to leave 3 inches by the rock edge of the pond but today I looked at it and didn't like it so I took it all out and put it back to "normal". I like it so much better.

The water is green right now. This is the hard part. Nature has to get it in balance and the bacteria needs to get working to make my pond healthy so it looks terrible at the moment. She had Max come out and plant the Japanese maple today. So that has made the pond look more finished. I need to get mulch before the weeds take over until I decide what I am going to plant in there.

Now I am going to catch up on here and check on bills. Then I will eat dinner and fall asleep in front of the tv. I haven't even washed clothes yet. Hoping tomorrow so I can hang them on the line.

Yep, I do so love my beautiful Rougaroux Irisis.
Ornery, you are not only really busy at work you are really  busy too at home. This is why your place is so very beautiful.

Hi all my new book My Ghostly Lover has been released, on Amazon. You can get it on Kindle.
 Love yas.
The Jude

Dropped in to say hi and hugs to my online family.

Oh I'll go check it out Jude! Woo hoo!

Got it! Now all I have to do is find time to read it. That might take a while since I'm busy taking care of Mammacita and trying to spend time with my son while he's here but I WILL get to it as soon as I can Jude. I can't wait! woo hoo!!

Jude, will that come out in a book form? I don't do kindle.

Read it in one day and I gave it a 5 start rating! I was only going to read a little but I got hooked and finished it in one day. Jude, I love your imagination and the way you tell a story. That is a real gift and not many have it. You have it big time!

Yes, Ornery if is on Amazon in paperback.
Thank you for the great review, Little Buddy.
I will go and check out my review after I jump off here.

The kindle version only allowed me to give it a star rating. There was no place for me to actually write anything. weird.

Okay, I just went on Amazon and posted a written review of your book Jude. Hope I spelled Rougaru right.

Oh, Little Buddy as busy as you are I did not expect you to do that for me, but I am so glad you did.
Thank you so much.
I just love you and our Ornery.
((((Mammacita big hugs and smoochers on those cheeks)))))) Face cheeks of course.

No problem Jude. I was happy to do it. I know how important reviews are and I was so grateful when people reviewed my son's book. (he was too!)

I bet he is when he gets great reviews.
They sure do help.

Cool I will add it to my wish list and when I need to order a few things I will get it!!!

Thank you, Ornery.
I am hearing from my readers that I need to make my books longer.

I think they're perfect BUT I do like that you have sequels.

Me too.

I can see why they say that but also I like the ideas of sequels. Reminds me of when Stephen King released The Green Mile in parts. Drove me crazy but it was also kind of neat having to wait for the next book.

Yeah, that's a good way of keeping people interested and also buying books!

You got that right, Little Buddy.
Thank you, Ornery.

We have flowers all over the place and ripe Aprocots or however the hell you spell it. Peaches too and pares and berry bushes. Guess we won't go hungry.

Omg Jude that is great! I love all of those. And do you know how expensive apricots are? Dang girl you and your family are lucky. You could make some good jam from those fruits too.
