Since the last treatment didn't go so well, Nic's Doctor decided he needed to double up his nausea medication. So far so good. Just makes him more sleepy. We did make an appointment for his scans- that will be July 17th, & we will learn of the progress on his cancer.
I have been slow to get out my thanks to those of you who have helped. Please know that I appreciate all the meals & all the prayers.- And all the dishes- JUST KIDDING, I will be getting them back to you some day!

Guess

If you were to look at these pictures what do you think they are of?

Does this help?

I decided to post this after having a conversation with my sister. It was after dinner on fathers day. I mentioned how all the rain had just about made my garden a lost cause. She didn't think it could be that bad. Well I told her it looked like someone had planted grass seed in my garden. What do you think.

Looking at the bottom picture, the row closest to the fence is potato's. I am sure they are fine I will dig them up when the time comes. The next 2 rows are green beans. Now I planted my garden a bit differently this year. & I will never do it this way again. Last year I planted seeds in my water rows, & that's it. not as many weeds & everything grew well. This year, I did it the right way, by planting seeds in between watering rows. Some rows are very narrow, some aren't. After the 2 rows of green beans-- that aren't doing so well, I have a row of cilantro, onions, cucumbers, and zucchini's. The next row was meant for corn, but it never got planted. The last row with all the cages; tomato's, peppers, & tomatillo's.

Anyhow I told my sister if 1 person took 1 square foot of garden & I had enough people to only do 1 square foot, it would take each person 1 hour to do their spot. I still stand behind that.

Not to mention that some of the weeds aren't weeds at all. But plants that got tilled up last fall. I've got potato plants- and I didn't plant any last year. I have about 12 tomato plants that I didn't plant, I also have mint, and a few misc., all growing where the corn was supposed to go.

I'd keep the tomato plants, if I didn't already have about 10. I planted too soon & some were lost to the freeze- or so I thought. I never dug them up thinking they would just die. Well, they didn't, they got a few black leaves for a while, but now have sprouted flower blossoms. Yup, gonna have tomato's coming out my ears. Maybe I'll can some sauce this year, or take them into work, cause we just can't eat that many, not even with the help of family & friends.

Kims Cake

At least let me explain myself.......
I tried to make something different for Kim for her birthday. I googled abnormal cakes. I came across a few that were miss-sized on purpose. On google, they looked really cool. I also tried 2 new frosting recipes. The pink is a white chocolate tinted pick, the other is a marshmallow chocolate. While they both tasted good, neither of them decorated too well. Runny, not firm. Bummer, well it was too late to fix that. The top is a technique I have never tried before. Pattern dusting. It turned out pretty good for my first time.
Moral of the story, never try 3 new things at once.- I could have gotten away with 1- but not 3. Oh well, the cake was good.

Happy Birthday Kim.

How do you sleep at night

If when you go to bed, it looks as full and crowded as mine- Holy Moley. Many mornings I have woken up to a stiff neck, tender shoulder, & sore back. But my kids sleep better than ever.

More Zoo

The pictures say it all
