This and that...and an anniversary

The two little furballs continue to be a source 

of entertainment at our house.  

It doesn't take a lot to amuse me.

I enjoy simple things, simple living.

 I could spend hours watching the kittens,

the birds, and tending my flowers. 

I don't enjoy seeing my flowers having problems.

My coreopsis has developed a fungus of some sort.

The leaves on some of the plants look ash colored.

If you know what this is and what I should do,

please let me know.

 I went to Columbia today 

to do a bit of shopping.  Don't tell my hubby, but I

bought a few more flowers.  Not many, but I couldn't

resist the sale at one store where the sales person told

me that they were being invaded by Japanese beetles in

that part of town.  I looked the plants over

carefully before bringing them home!  

June is the big month for weddings.  There are many

of you celebrating wedding anniversaries.  Yours

truly and hubby celebrated 41 years this week. 

   How can that be?  Why, we must have gotten 

married at a very young age!  Actually, I married a 

man who was 2 1/2 years younger than me and had 

just returned home from the Vietnam War when I met

him.  I didn't know how to cook when we got married.

My job when I lived at home was house cleaning.

So, I at least knew how to keep the house clean.

Poor hubby had to put up with some burned food

until I learned how to cook, which really didn't take

all that long.  We decided on having a baby right

away, so our daughter was born almost a year 

later.  Five years after that, we had a son to make

our family complete.  It's been an interesting 41

years.  I pray that there will be many more!

Until next time...
