I had planned on writing yesterday, but just didn't get the chance.  What a week.  One day I spent the better part of the morning trying to get my 16 yo car key replaced.  He only had one set here, the other set he forgot in Indiana.  He let a friend run out and get something out of his trunk, and the friend somehow broke the ignition key in half.  So I got to drive back and forth the fourteen blocks between the school and the hardware store six times to get it fixed.  It is not exactly what I had planned for the morning, but thats okay.  Just that morning I was thinking how I would like to get out of the house!  Strawberries will have to wait til this next week to get weeded.  My husband put new shelves up in my sewing room, so I had to take everything out, then put it all back.  What an eye opener.  I had forgotten I had some of that stuff.  Isn't that the way it goes?  But the good new is, I found I have plenty of dress fabric to make each of the girls several new dresses (when I get the chance).  I did take a little break out on the back porch when I was done, and the roses are starting to bloom again.  I need to learn how to post pictures, so that next spring I can post pictures every week, showing the progress from spring to fall.  This year I started 3-4 different kinds of marigolds, not reading the package too well, I guess.  One variety grew to be three feet tall!  I was very surprised.  It looks rather funny, I planted them in front because I assumed they would be the shorter ones.  And my moon flowers are looking rather sad, a have taken off three fat tomato worms this week.  Every time I go past them I try to look, and I have a plastic bucket I left there.  Funny, the tomato worms always start at my moon flowers, then move to the tomatoes.  I just have to catch them in the flowers, before they make it to the tomatoes.  Well, better go, I have to get ready for church!  Have a great day, everyone.
