Here is my finished "try". I hope the roses and Rhody's live through all the trauma. I wish my two grandfathers were still here to call and ask about their gardening skills. I am lucky to have my father to call and ask about these things. He is also a great gardener- must have either inherited it or learned as he grew up.
It's funny how I think about my Grandmother Binns most days. I wish I had talked to her more about her life and her health and her raising and supporting her family. I miss her! ( I am putting a picture of her and Grandaddy (the best tomato grower ever!!) on this blog.)
Hopefully I will be a good grandmother, too. I want to be remembered as a fun grandma and not a crabby one! ( I am occasionally the crabby one :(...oh well!)
We are happy this week because Stu sold a house he and Jared bought a while ago. We have paid off our vehicles, and had enough left over to go get a bunch of year supply items. Ended up spending 6 or 700 dollars worth of food, bathroom supplies, etc.... Makes me feel a lot more secure, considering the economy and who knows what will happen next year!

Compost generates a crazy amount of heat! We've only been doing it for a year, and I can seriously walk by our compost bin and feel heat emanating from it. Crazy!
It's okay, I'm pretty sure I'm the "crabby aunt" to all the kids too. Glad they finally are done with that house and you got the car paid off again. Phew! What a load of relief off your shoulders with all that!
What a great way to get your workout in for the day. I think your finished product looks marvelous. Congratulations on selling the house. It is interesting that you talked about both gardening tomatoes and food storage. For relief society this month we had a lesson on powdered milk. They said that if you put a scoop of the church food storage instant milk in with the tomatoes you plant they come out amazing. Thought I'd give it a try next year...if I remember.
