I need a break...





...from blogging. I'm experiencing major blog burn out
and even missed hosting Three Or More Tuesday last week.

I hope you won't be too disappointed but I need to figure out
how I want to continue with this blog, if I should change it
or if it is maybe time to quit all together.

Work, business travel, summer chores and my family are
taking up most of my time at this point and blogging went
from being fun to feeling like a job.

So for now I'll just call it a vacation from blogging
and hopefully I will come out of this "blogging block".



Have a wonderful Summer,

133rd Three Or More Tuesday



Welcome to the 133rd Three Or More Tuesday.


Other then cleaning, weeding and organizing
I don't have a whole lot to blog about this week.
When I was wondering what to share today,
I looked through some of the recent pictures I took
and picked this one to
go with Three Or More Tuesday.


It's one of my favorites photos I've taken this year.

Now what do you have to share for 'Three Or More'?

131st Three Or More Tuesday - A peaceful Getaway


Welcome to the 131st Three Or More Tuesday.


We had a chance to get away for a few days
and visit our friends in Ohio.
A few years ago they bought a few acres
of land and an old farm house and after
remodeling the house they have added
many animals to their peaceful place.


Their are ducks and geese...


Billy the goat...



Houdini the sheep...


Maxwell and Sassy the happy pigs...


and the very recent addition of these little guys
which have not yet been named.

We had a great time and I love visiting their place
for some overdue peace and quiet.

130th Three Or More Tuesday - Life...


Welcome to the 130th Three Or More Tuesday.


This rainy Spring has made it almost
impossible to achieve any of the yard work.


Just keeping up with the grass is a challenge
since it is sooooo wet.



But we had a couple of days were we got to
get some chores done and I saw little glimpses
of life out there with the promise of summer.


Now what do you have to share for 'Three Or More'?

129th Three Or More Tuesday - Garden Plans



Welcome to the 129th Three Or More Tuesday.


It's that time of year when I'm deciding
what to plant in the veggie garden. I use transplants
since I don't put anything into the garden beds until after
Memorial Day to avoid the risk of frost.

The first year I tried the whole seed thing but it
didn't work well and with my busy schedule the
transplants (even though more pricey) are the
better option for this weekend gardener.

After some trial and error my family realized what
veggies we actually consumed and what we ended
up giving away. The third year of our square foot
garden will include the following:

Green Beans
Tomatoes
Radishes
Carrots
Onions
Lettuce
Bell Peppers
Pickles
Cucumbers
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Basil
Parsley
Chives
Thyme
Dill
Cilantro
Garlic (Planted last Fall)


In a separate bed I'm also planting a red currant
and a gooseberry bush. Both berries that remind me
of my grandmas garden.



Now the weather just has to cooperate and our little
square foot garden will go from planning to harvest in
no time.


Do you plant veggies? Do you have a large
garden plot or plant things in containers?
What do you grow on a yearly basis?

All these questions for you,
now what do you have to share for 'Three Or More'?

128th Three or More Tuesday


Welcome to the 128th Three Or More Tuesday.

This past week has been pretty much all over the place.
Between work, house projects, my grandson, Mother's Day
and my realization that my yard and flowerbeds are being
taken over by weeds from all of this rain we've been having;

It just seems I've been running and running and have
very little to show for it.
Do you have ever weeks like that? I find it very
frustrating and I desperately need to get back on
track and organized to get all of my different ToDo lists
done.

I did 'doodle' on my kitchen chalkboard one morning...



and while browsing at Marshall's found 4 salad plates
for $2 each
on the clearance shelf...



and of course i spend loads of time with my favorite
little person that owns this little hand...
