What's up Doc?

My Chamomile is bigger now. Look:

Click Here for some cool stuff!

I'm more than half-way through "Do Hard Things"! It's SO good! I've said "Amen" and I've said "Ouch". "Ouch" mostly to the chapter I'm in now. "Small Hard Things". Stuff like dishs, math, temper... yeah little stuff.

My back hurts. Daddy always knows what to do and he's in Ohio. And we're out of Advil. My back hurts. I'm going to bed. Good-night. Ok, I won't go to bed. But I'm done blogging for now.

May. 4, 2008 - A tag and other nonsense

Posted in Stuff about stuff

Heya!

Well... my Chamomile is growing like a weed. Wait, Chamomile is an herb, and herbs are weeds. I need to go get a picture. Umm... well I got the book I've been wanting for about three weeks. "Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris. It is so good! Get a copy! Here are the pictures I sent. To see other peoples pictures, click here, and here, and here. To understand my first two pictures, click here. This is my favorite thing on the blog, and it's so true. You understand the last picture. SHE'S CUTE, AND IT'S A GOOD BOOK!

I really like the book! Hmmm... lets see, what has been going on... hmm... oh I know. Yesterday I put a swing in the tree we climb. Really it's the next door girls' tree. They have an old swing set that is too dangerous to play on. So I took the swings off and put them on the tree. Yes, I got permission to do all of it!

Jo had this tag, and I wanted to do it. So here goes.

Apr. 28, 2008 - Breakfast

Posted in Stuff about stuff

Salutations!

Have you ever had Swirl bread toasted? It's really good! But not so good after it has sat in the toaster for two days, then toasted again to warm it up for some girl's breakfast. Have you ever had Panera bread? It's really good! But not so good after it has sat on the counter overnight , and gone stale. I guess you know what I 'm having for breakfast. Yep. I love stale garlic toast, it tastes like croutons (which I like to pour a plateful, and drench in caeser dressing. MMMHHH), so I thought my piece of bread from supper last night, would be great today. I never thought about how hard it has then, and that it would be ,ouch , I bit ma tongue , twice as hard today. In fact, when I was getting some last night, it didn't occur to me to use a knife, so I was standing there, pulling with all my might, on a loaf of bread, and Mama said " You know, when they say 'break bread', they don't mean you have to really break it. You can use a knife." aahhh my enlightening Mother. Anyway... you guessed it. My bread is hard as a rock! OK, not that hard. But very, very, hard. Tasty though.

Apr. 27, 2008 - WHAAAAAAA

Posted in Gardening

Oh man, I had a really great post. All about my chamomile. Really nice. Pictures and words. Not just words. Not just pictures. Both.Oh well... Ok I'm good.

My Chamomile sprouted!!!

Here's the pot. I made it self watering, by punching holes in the bottom of an Ice-cream bucket and putting it in a cheap pot (that mama had gotten but didn't see that had a dent in it), with rocks in the bottom. It's worked well. I haven't had to water at all, of course, it's been rainy. Hmm...:
