Don't think I've ever started one of these things!!! Well, if I have it's been years, LOL. I don't have a clue where the breakfast pics are, so hopefully someone will be along soon who knows.

I'm still up, rather than just getting up. Been working on blogs, consoling/propping up a depressed friend, having the weepies myself for long ago things that still affect me now (long story, has to do with kids, LOL), fixing 2 pitchers of sweet tea, setting up coffee pot for the morning, discovering we are low on coffee and my "special" reserves in the freezer are down to a half a bag of Hickory Farms decaf Christmas coffee, which, I'm sorry, are not getting mixed in! Oh, and heating some water for the thermos in case I need some hot tea (which I can't imagine right now at 66*F at 11:40pm!)

So rise and shine everyone!!! I'm rarin' to go, but don't have the energy. Plus my mind left long time gone! Heeeee, heee.

Okay, someone else's turn now!

Shine On

Hi!

It's been ages since I've been here! Reading every now and then but I'm never logged on.
My life is very good at the moment! Working full time in a kindergarden nearby my house. Takes less than 5 min to walk...
I even work in a clothes shop for bigger sized woman. It's fun!
I'm no longer together with Felix, we where arguing and I decided to go further on with my life alone.

Today I am going to sort out some clothes and give them to some friends maby. Time to refill closet (",(",)
Maby go for a walk later with a friend or do something fun =) Donno yet!

Hope you are feeling good! I miss ya so much!
Hugs from me =)

Thanks Michelle! I hope you got some sleep. It doesn't matter whether you have any pictures or not to start a daily chat. It is a chat post first of all. Some people just have fun doing it. But this is a board for words first of all.

I get extremely hungry for sweet stuff looking at that, Mark! Are you feeling any better?

What a nice surprise to see you, Merethe! You sound good. Yeah sometimes it is better to move on alone that end up miserable together.

Unfortunately I'm in a lot of pain since I visited some friends yesterday. I was in pain when I was there also. I just hope it is not going to be long term since I was finally beginning to be better. Makes me so annoyed.

Good morning

Michelle, thanks for starting us off today! Don't mind the pictures

Mark, you spoil us with your coffee and donuts

Merethe, long time no see! Glad your feeling so good!

Mosken, sorry your feeling so bad, hope you get better soon!

Virginia, hope you can get some sleep

I'm having my grand child on a sleepover, her parents was in a wedding last night. And we'r having fun!
Foti had a neighbor dog wisit, and they played in the garden, and I had my coffee outside to have an eye on them.
He would run off with the other dog if I didn't watch them.

My arms are not good today, but other than that I feel OK, work is going fine,
But I feel busy

not much I have strenght to do around the house these days, and

the WE is short, just Sunday to relax and work with and other stuff..
But it is my choice to have it like this

Wish you all a good Sunday!

everyone and thanks for starting our day Michelle. Hmmm, sweet tea eh? Where do you live- in the South? Brings back fond memories of our time there- I sure did love that tea- and it was always a real treat on the way to florida when we stopped at this BBQ joint on 95- BBQ and sweet tea- YUM!

Mark... wow... my 2 favorites! Starbucks and Krispy Kreme! I have to say that KK is the BEST donut of all time- so light and airy- although now it's hard to get them around here- actually I think the only place left that makes them is in Penn Station, everywhere else is closed- except for the one that was in the World Trade Center that's just gone!

Merethe- it's so good to see you. I'm with Mosken- better to split with someone that you don't get along well with than to be miserable long term! Sounds like a great job for you working at the kindergarten- stop by and see us more often, we miss you!

Virginia- I hope you get some .

Enjoy your day Bell- and your grandaughter.

Glad you are feeling better Mark!
Nothing much planned for today for me- although I should be like Bell and be doing , I've got a ton of it. I just wish it would wash, fold and put away itself! I'd really invest in a washer/dryer like that!

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day... it's back to work for me tomorrow!

Just took this pic this morning. It is a pretty japonica shrub that grows at the bottom of my garden, so I can see it from the kitchen window when I'm doing the dishes, it always cheers me up ....

It flowers from March to June and always reminds me of sunshine with it's yellow flowers .... even on a dull cloudy old day like today.

Hi Michelle, Thanks for giving us a nice start to the the day ....

Mark, your brekkie pics make me drool .... I think I'll have a starbucks cafe latte and definitely some of those gorgeous looking doughnuts ..... So glad you're starting to mend a little .... I know pneumonia can leave a lot of weakness for quite a few weeks.

Bell have fun on the sleepover, and hope your arms improve as the day goes along. Foti sounds as if he's a real family member and having lots of fun.

Virginia ...

Mosken, it is so annoying that you have to pay the price of being in a lot of pain after having such a nice day out. I hope it's only temporary and eases up a bit soon. It's not much to ask, is it? .... to be able to visit friends without any ill effects. Much the same for me, always a price to pay for any sort of pleasant activity .... so annoying. Hugs to you ....

Hi Merethe. So glad to hear that life is good for you at the moment. It sounds as if the split was the right thing for you and given you a new lease of life ...

Leslie .... couldn't agree more ....

I just wish it would wash, fold and put away itself! I'd really invest in a washer/dryer like that!

Hoping that the day goes well for everyone

Good Morning, Friends!

Michelle, thanks for starting out our day!

Mark, thanks for the Starbucks and Donuts, they look soo good! Hope you are feeling better!

Mosken, I'm sorry to hear that you felt so badly yesterday-- I hope today is a much better day for you.

Jilly, what a beautiful picture, I would love to have that out in my side yard--- I have seen these down here but I didn't know the name of them--- I'll have to see if I can find one and get hubby to plant it for me. It would cover my fence line and offer some privacy in my side and then I could see it out the bedroom window.

Bell, I hope you enjoy your grandchilds sleepover tonight. Hope your arms improve today!

Merethe, Welcome back! We have missed you around here! I'm glad to hear that life is going much better for you!

Leslie, I'm going to be doing the same thing as you and Bell today...

Virginia, hope you can sleep today!

I'm going to be resting again today, It seems to have worked yesterday, some of the pain has eased quite a bit.

Have a wonderful day!
Rosie

Rosie, it's a Kerria Japonica, sometimes known as a Japanese Rose.

It grows from 18 inches to this height in 3 years. Very hardy, can take extreme heat, or extreme cold. Such an easy plant to grow.

Some people prune them, but I think it ruins the natural spray effect of the branches. Best to plant them where there is enough space for them to do their natural thing!

I think you would be pleased with it if you decided to have one.

Hope you have a good day

Hi all
There are to many for me to respond each of you, but I hope you all have a pain free, great day.

I love sweet tea and we made some yesterday, but when Tyler put the sugar, it is sweeeeet! I've never had crispy creme. I don't eat donuts much and just the smell of them at the grocery store as made me not want to buy them. Plus, I'm back trying to be wheat-free. I'm hoping that it will help with my migraines, so far not, but it hasn't been even a week yet.

It is a little after 7 am here and I am the only one up. It is very peaceful hearing all the birds chirping and chattering away. It is going to be another hot day, already up to 67F. I don't think that I am ready for the summer lol. I have to get everyone up in a little bit so we can get ready for church.

good afternoon to all

just getting around to getting on here. Been getting ready for our dinner soon. Hubby wakes up we eat and in a couple hours he will lay down for more sleep before going in to work tonight. So I peeled potatoes, am thinking of making some muffins to go with it. yummy sounding. esp. after Mark put up sweet treats for brekkie eh?
Last evening I was doing some searching for paperwork. We needed my Soc. Sec. Determination letter for the bank on the home loan. And some other paperwork to sign and turn in.
So, I didn't get on her.

Merethe , long time no see. Sure glad you pop in sometimes to keep us informed. We are a worrisome bunch. Sorry you are going it alone. But, hey maybe the better man will be just around the next corner. Good luck at your ventures.

To all the others here is a

Am still having lower back pain and pain in the arm and hand. I think I have a pinched nerve. And hubby as well as sis tell me to go to the chiro. Well, I may just break down and go tomorrow. This has been going on for a few days. Usint the pain meds, TENS unit moist heat sock, nothing seems to have helped it alot.
Will try and come back later on as it is only 1:26pm here at 54F going to be cooler this week. So may have to make a pot of chilli for one days meal.
Take care, enjoy your day

May your today, be better than yesterday, and not as good as tomorrow.

God bless .

Just peekin' in to say I'm alive....barely. The confirmation celebration was great, but now it's not much left of me. I sat too much, I stood too much, and my ladylike shoes made walking....a bit too much.

Will rest up for the rest of the evening. See y'all tomorrow!

Thanks for the info Jilly and Bell..
Both types are very pretty! It is exactly what I have been looking for to grow next to my dark natural looking fence in the back yard.
I need something that is very hardy, can take extreme heat, or extreme cold and can be left to the nautural spray effect that you described, Jilly!
I would also like to get the lavender Mexican Blue Bells to put out there with them to add more color.

Granny, I hope you get feeling better!

Alice, great to see you also.... sounds like you need some rest... feel better!

It's here and then I'm off to go get my afternoon nap

Oh, I'm so glad you are both thinking of having this shrub in your gardens. I know you will be so happy with it if you're able to get hold of it. Not expensive at all, I think I paid £3 for mine and that was 3 years ago and it's already reached full size.

Yes Rosie, the bluebells go so beautifully with it, because they both flower at the same time. Did you see them tucked down on the bottom left of the picture? I thought they would be too small to see ...

Let me give you a little bit more information because you are right Bell, it does have 2 varieties. I have just looked it up on the BBC website.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/442.shtml

Seems that my one is the double flowering variety and it's scientific name is:

Kerria Japonica Pleniflora.
Family: Doubleflowering Japanese Kerria.

Scientific Name:
Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora'

Family:
Doubleflowering Japanese Kerria

Family:
Rosaceae

Description:
Doubleflowering Japanese Kerria provides a carnation-type of floral alternative to the normal five-petaled, wide-spreading, single-flowers of this species.

http://www.hcs.ohio-state.edu/hort/plantlisting/K/Kerria178.html

The other variety seems to be more buttercup shaped and much lower growing and I don't think I've ever seen it any where locally to here. but I think it is probably quite different in appearance.

My body is akin all over today, but I have manage to do something useful anyway.

The spring is here, so I have worked in the garden and preparing it for the summer.

Have a nice Sunday evening..

Its really beautiful that shrub Jilly, i like it very much so.

Just had a right thunderstorm, lightening the lot, it really rained bouncing off the drive and the garden is awash with water now!....puddles everywhere, was fun to watch....really enjoyed it, the first one in ages had like that, it was overhead but headed out to sea, as live by the sea they seem to do that. It was dark, after the frogs all came out, hopping everywhere, mind you they probably thought my half laid lawn seed was a big pond as it looked like it afterwards

will have to see what it is left in the morning.....as all i could see is water everywhere.....came down so fast and furious was quite an event.
some hyacinth grapes took before the storm

That is beautiful, Jilly! After reading that website I am thrilled! And I love yellow! That would be so pretty against the green pine trees in the spring. I saved the website. I'm going to look it up on Norwegian garden centers websites.

I feel better tonight. Going to sleep soon.......

Jilly, thanks for the information and links! I showed this to DH and asked for it for Mothers Day.... I was told "yes"

I missed the Blue Bells in the corner But after you mentioned them, I do see them and they look great with the yellow! I also saved the website and I'm going to search the garden centers around this area when I get a chance.

Julie, what a cute little frog! He has his own personal pond! I love those hyacinth grapes, how pretty!

Lene, hope you feel better tonight!

Sunnygirl, I'm happy to hear you are feeling better!

I'm heading to bed.... I hope everyone has a great night!
