Spent This... Beautiful Wednesday morning, workin' on the Lawn.
: )
Picked up Helper, Brandon...
and his Weed Whip, in Lisbon, Iowa.... then, Justin'J', helped... with mine.
I... alternated trimming with the push mower, and Weed Whip, with 'J'.
: )
Mowing tomorrow.
; )
oh dear.
: )
Working 'The Estate Sale'... has put me so far behind on the Lawn.
: )
We closed the 'Estate Sale' up, this evening.
Books are done, and Settled, with The Family.
<3
Thank God... for Pal, Bill.
He's a Master Bookkeeper.
; )
Picked up a few groceries on the way back, from taking Brandon home.
Old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard's were Bare.
; )
I've got to get the Urns all planted, soon.
The Memorial Day Weekend Sale, will be HERE...
before we know it.
; )
May 24 - 27!!
GADS!!!
; )
Pal, Gail... called this morning.
She's back in town from the East Coast.
<3
Invited me to join her for lunch, tomorrow.
<3
Looking Forward to Seeing Her!!
<3
: )
Always.
<3
The above Lilac, is one like I've never seen.
Purple, with a White Edge.
<3
It was growing at 'The Estate'.
Found a few babies... that had been mowed over, so... dug them up, on Monday.
: )
They are tiny... little roots, now... but... will, I hope,
find a new Home, near The Rabbit Hole, to Grow!!
They... are most likely a Hybrid.
They are Stunning, visually... but, don't have the 'scent' of 'The Old Fashioned'.
The Old...
'Babies'...
on the other hand,
that have Lived here, for 50, plus... years, oh my.
<3
Their Scent...
Will Drop Ya!!!
<3
I could smell Them, from the front drive... along the Highway...
the other night.
About a Football Field away.
<3 <3 <3
: )
Intoxicating!!
<3
Thanks So Much, to Everyone, who have wished me a Happy Birthday, over the last several days.
<3 <3 <3
Friend, Deb...
sent the below text, today.
<3
Love That Girl.
<3
Seems there's never enough Time...
: (
Somehow... I've Got to Make Some Time.
<3
Another... Dear Pal, texted today...
concerning 'Gold Rush'.
She was fully expecting me to be there.
She had a 'Wish List'... for me.
: (
Then... told me she was Crushed, when she called me back, after texting her...
I'd be sitting this 'Gold Rush' out.
: (
My 'Gold Rush' Pal, and her Friends, and Family... are like 'Family' to me.
<3
So Many... Are.
<3
Pulling out of 'Junk Jubilee', and 'Gold Rush', this Spring...
was a painful...
decision.
Very.
: (
but, sadly...
very necessary.
They All Know...
about the
Never Ending
' Messes' here... in Fairfax.
in
'Iowa'.
Troubling...
Messes.
: (
From Minnesota, Wisconsin... Iowa, Missouri... Illinois, Kentucky...
and...
The Great State of Tennessee,
yes,
Many...
'Know', and are watching.
: (
I'm Confident...
They'll be Reading 'The Book', when all of The Dust Settles.
{Should my poor liver Survive This Wrongful Mess!! ; ) }
My Wisconsin, Pal... said, something that made me Smile, today.
: )
"I remember the first time I met you, at 'Gold Rush'.
The booth, stopped me in my tracks.
You had music playing... that was so soothing.
{ <3 Alison Krauss. }
I felt... like I was in Heaven."
<3
She went on... and described the 'Simply Iowa' booth, with 'The Corn Stalks'.
<3 <3 <3
{One of my Favorites, too. <3}
Peg, and Southern Iowa, Farmer Friends, Lynn, and Lea... Helped So Much, with That One!!
'Family'
<3
Lynn and Lea...
Brought Those Corn Stalks, from Their Iowa Family Farm,
for our
'Gold Rush'... booth.
Priceless!!!
<3
We All... Had Such a Great Time, at That 'Gold Rush'.
Precious... Memories.
; )
{Oh... Dear. ; ) }
Sadly... it appears,
in my opinion...
I'm not the only one,
Fairfax... Iowa, and The Iowa Department of Transportation...
have
'Wrongfully Breached'
over the last many years.
: (
Bless their hearts.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
