I have four reps from four sun porch/enclosed porch companies coming in the next two weeks and I'd like both the house and the garden to look inviting--not weedy with weeds or cluttered with stuff in the house.<br /><br />I do so admire your fortitude and determination. I've found a good place to work, but it's been raining a lot. We need the rain so no one's complaining. Take care, you Skydiver you with a brand new helmet!

You are simply inspiring the rest of us. <br /><br />I have never had an interest in jumping out of airplanes, so I like to just read of your adventures. I am interested in gardening again. I have to get some inspiration on what to plant in my wee little yard. <br /><br />Flowers will be nice. You could take some to shut-in in nursing homes.

I've become quite good at it, now. <br />Regarding your blue skies. We (you and I) have traded weather. It rained here (South Georgia and North Florida) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It was clear today, but it is clouding back up and will rain again tomorrow (Monday.) I have Jan's weather. Jan has mine. We will probably 'trade' back soon, whaddya think! :)<br />I have often wondered how long it takes between the time you leave the plane until you make your landing. Making 4 jumps today is awesome to me. I can't imagine it...but do love to read about your adventures in the sky. You go girl.<br />As you plan your garden, I hope that you find just the right plants that those pesky aphids don't like. I really enjoyed our Japanese eggplants last year. I didn't see much "bug" activity on ours. Whatever you decide, I hope that your thumb is green and your crops are plenteous. <br />Hugs,<br />J.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-48024630059946092152013-05-05T12:13:20.234-07:002013-05-05T12:13:20.234-07:00Don't think of it as bragging, but as providin...Don't think of it as bragging, but as providing a service to those of us who haven't yet seen the wisdom of your advice.

Must go find it right now. I'm glad you got your sky dives in and your new helmet is nice. It hurts me to write that because, as you know, I wish you'd give it up and be safe!

That sort of indoor exercise might be ideal during rainy weather. Of course, I realize you already do aerobic exercise at the gym, but dancing might exercise new muscles. Anyway, I would love to see the flowers you are planting. I love flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
