Happy New Year!

 

Cruising Route 66

 

I am so excited to have a fun ride again! It is not an RV, but being able to cruise in a fun car, is almost as good. I love cruising through small towns along Route 66, Americas Highway is a great drive. Okay as long as it is not near dusk or dawn, because during that time of the day, the deer are plentiful in Arcadia, OK and it can be dangerous at 55 mph! I think I seen a total of one deer crossing sign, nowhere near where  I almost hit a  a herd of   Deer on  my first drive. It was minutes before taking this pic of my new to me ride at POPS in Arcadia, OK

Moving Out

This morning while sitting on the patio enjoying my warm morning beverage, letting the dogs stretch their legs. We spot this momma on her way out of town. She has three babies on her back! 

Flower Pot Gardening

 

Attempting to grow a flower pot garden for the second time in my lifetime. In all honesty, I bought the plants as sprouts, and all I had to do was keep them living. Apparently I planted too early. We had two hard freezes after my planting. I moved all the pots I could indoors, and covered the plants with plastic outdoors. Before moving indoors my strawberry plant was flowering and had a red berry. I had a nice looking bell and a jalapeño plant, the bell pepper and the basil died along with the strawberry plant. The jalapeño plant lost its leaves but still has a green stem co ing out of dirt, maybe I can revive it. The Romaine, tomato, chives, oregano, cilantro, and marigolds are doing good. I feel like I’m barely hanging on to my lavender, and petunias. I attempted to start carrots and some basil from seeds, they were sprouting and outgrowing the container, so I took off the lid, and they all died. 

Today I enjoyed a turkey sandwich with Romaine lettuce straight from my garden! It is so rewarding actually getting to eat what you have grown! Stay tuned for more updates in the months to come! 

Hafer Park, Edmond Oklahoma

Today, my daughter, her best friend and I decided to go for a walk at Hafer Park, in Edmond Oklahoma. Our goal is to see parks from around the city photograph them and get exercise at the same time. Here are two photo collages of my take on the hike.
