I'm back

Okay I'm back as you can see. I had thoughts of quitting this blogging thingy so many times the past week and a half, but I got bored again. So I'm back. Yay.
These turned orange this morning, will be ripe by tomorrow- big as my hand
Lots of things have happened. We have had so much fantastic rain that veggies are coming out the wazoo. David can't believe how many BIG tomatoes that are ripening, and the cucumbers too. He counted 23 tomatoes on one bush yesterday and five of them will be ripe by tomorrow. Yes! That fast. Think I'll be canning a bit this coming weekend for sure. David is just going crazy with this mini farming thing. Last year we had the tomato plants in pots in the courtyard and he was excited when he got his first tomato. We only harvested three off that one tomato plant. So you can see why he's all crazy about this idea about having above ground planting beds.
A cucumber I picked for our salad last night
Everything is so green that it hurts your eyes. I love it! Check out the front yard pics I took last week.

White Texas Wisteria climbing up the front of the house over the living room window.
Keeps the front rooms cool in the summer. In the green planter hanging are two begonias that are supposed to hate the sun, go figure. They like it fine.

Tiger Cannas in pot on the left actually bloomed this morning. The Cannas on the right next to the Mock Orange tree bloomed last week when I took this picture, is still in bloom in the courtyard.

Cannas bloom up close and personal

miniature roses I keep outside next to the back door in the courtyard

My red and pink geraniums and small pink flowers of the begonia in the back.

As you can see, so much green it hurts your eyes. If it weren't for the occasional flower I'd go blind.

The Crazy Witch's Daybook

My Mood:   My Unkymood Punkymood (Unkymoods) still, The Hydrocodone is killing my mood. I feel anxious inside but I'm moving like a Zombie. ahahahahahaasnort. excuse me.

What I'm doing in regards to my fat fluffy ass today: Well, right now this blog post. But I do have to get Davids tomatoes watered then water the front yard and stuff. I need to do laundry cause David didn't do it over the weekend and I am not supposed to do anything (wild cackle) strenuous . But I guess I'll have to break it up into little stuff to pick up and I'll get it done. Other wise after the laundry I am going to try to clean house (wild cackle can be heard again) SHUT UP!! and repot a few new herbs that need it.

What Bothers me: Is that my hubby/plaything, David has a fucking greener thumb than mine. I mean look at these tomato plants!  They're like six fucking feet tall. The fence behind it is seven. Damned hubby with the green thumb did all that. I just showed him how and things took off from there.

Other pictures of his Most Greenous Highnesses work. The front yard. I don't know if you can see it but I have moon flowers winding themselves on the white trellises. Front and center next  to the steps are my two gardenias finishing up their first blooming then my knockout roses and bougainvilleas right behind them. Crawling up the side is the wisteria. Also notice David's grass. He worked hard for this. I'm a  bit miffed that everything finished blooming when I was able to take this picture. I was in bed with my back problems when it was all in it's glory.*Sigh*

I was able to take this little picture of a Cardinal who has been living in the pecan tree. Sooo pretty. We had a load of them this year. I guess they like the climate.

What I'm Reading:


I have only one thing to say in regards to poor Sookie. TV has fucking BUTCHERED the book series. It is not true to the books that I have read. I think that is why I hate watching any TV program  or movie that is based on a book  series or any book for that matter. Otherwise the book is pretty damned good so far.

What's for din din: I was going to make stuffed peppers for dinner yesterday but we ended up going to San Marcos for lunch/dinner to celebrate my step-daughter's birthday. We had a wonderful time together as always. Talking and laughing and watching the tubers on the river below us.
I got off track again, sorry. Anywho, I'm making meatballs with a curry sauce, brown rice, spinach salad with balsamic vinegarette. MMMmmmmm Yummy!!!!!
