Summer is almost here, garden is going, and Emma.

My garden is looking good! Still growing! Picked the first of the broccoli, a couple small tomatoes on. Have zucchini, cilantro, basil, Walla Walla onions, jalapenos, pole beans and cucumbers, corn and Dill! I cultivated it today to knock down the weeds that came up during this last wet spell we had.

 My Dahlias are up, I have 10 this year, alas a lot of the ones I spent all that time digging and trying to store, froze in the garage. Winter was very cold for us here this year.

 Love this basket!

 Gazinnias, these are such happy flowers!! The darn squirrel ate the one I had up on the deck! First it ate all the foliage around them then the next day, ate the flowers! I am still mad at it!.

 Gazinnias with hostas. These frogs my Mother in Law made and painted years ago! They are still around, sadly she passed 12 years ago now.

 My shade garden, hostas and impatiens. I dont remember what the one on the far left is, gets cute baby blue/pink flowers and is one my Mom gave me a few years ago!

 Emma in purgatory! Little brat, when she runs out of hay and sees me outside she starts yelling at me!! LOL Silly girl. Even my goldfish in the pond beg for food! LOL

 We got rid of the old travel trailer, which had newer wheels and tires on it (we got them a few years ago for hubbys Dad, so Meghan and hubby put them on my trailer! Now to save up for those newer tires! Although these are pretty good, hardly used.

 Emmas "What are you doing." look, When I stand there and take pics.

 She still gets covered in mud, brushed her all pretty last night! LOL

 The old mares out on the pasture.

 Easy is still looking good for 29! She finally shedded out good.

 Oh, and my seed Dahlias I bought! So I could have color while I wait for my others to bloom!!

Summer this weekend! I may be going to the Buck Brannamen clinic in Cle Elum, Wa. to audit on the 10-14 of July. Wish I could ride! I want to audit I hope, two days. Will stay with my cousin, who lives on the East side of Ellensburg, 40 min from the arena where its held.

Bad news

Well I got bad news on Monday. Emma had been lame and I didnt know what happened, she wasnt getting better. I had my Vet out on Monday. After lots of flex tests and manipulation and trotting off and a rectal palpation.

 He said, "I think she has a broken pelvis."

 Crap. She will be OK. Just another year off for her. Vet found a swelling on the left side when he palpated the pelvis. She didnt like that at all! Very sore!

 She has six weeks on bute, then six months of stall/small pen rest. Oh and I have to get 50 to 100lbs off of her! LOL Thats what she wont be happiest about!

This is when I rode her last year at the trail trials, which was a blast! Maybe next year.

So that leaves me with riding the old mare if I want to ride! LOL  

This old mare loves to go, and is still reasonably sound at her age of 29 years!!  (this pic is from two years ago)  So look out old mare, a little conditioning and we may still get a couple rides under us! 

Fun Garage Sale-ing with my Hubby, and look what else we found!

Had fun on our first Garage Sale-ing day this year! Found some goodies. A small pack saddle for $8, a two sided Thanksgiving/ Christmas table runner, a green plaid round tablecloth for the BBQs this summer, $1.50 each. A wooden step stool, $3., a folk art kitty, $2. A nice looking shirt for $1 and a small wooden green box $2.  I am going to paint on the step stool and the green box. All for under $20 bucks!

Here is kinda a close up of my shirt, blue roses and it has silver threads in it too. We had fun, my cousin and his wife live in Ellensburg, Wa. and they were Garage sale-ing too! LOL we challenged each other to see who could find the neatest thing! LOL

It was fun texting each other all morning with our finds! His special find was a BBQ in a bucket! LOL Yes in an actual bucket, never used, still with the BBQ sauce in it! LOL

And we found the candidate for the Worlds Ugliest Truck!!!!

All I can say is, why?   I guess no one will steal it! LOL

I also got my Mommy a step stool to get in my Bronco! LOL have been trying to text them a pic of it all day and it wont go through, we dont have full service on ATT here in the hole we live in, LOL

 Seen an ominous fire on the way home too. Hope it wasnt someones house. We got on a little farther and could smell burnt plastic in the air though.

That was our fun day!! Hubby cooked a roast on his new Treager grill and I made potatoes with bacon, onion and cheese foil pockets that cooled along side the roast! Was very good!

A good day!

Camas, Wa. Plant and Garden Fair, with my Mommy!

Took my Mom to the plant sale, then we went to Craft Warehouse! On the way back spotted a Soroptimists Sale so we went to that and found a few goodies!
Beautiful flower baskets on a building in downtown Camas.

 Lots of wonderful restaurants and shops.

 Looking East up the street.

 West, lots of people!

Meghan got me this huge basket for Mothers Day! Its a 14 inch pot and its prob 2 1/2 foot in diameter

 My Peonies are blooming.

 My Dahlias are starting to come up! Only a few inches now, you cant see them here, LOL

 Here are some of the colors I have this year. The blue one on the right is my favorite, cant wait until it blooms.

 My garden is in! Lots of work on Monday!

 Meghan also got my the cutest planter ever!

Until next time!!

Need to come back and post more!!

I have not been posting at all since I went back to work! Facebook takes up a lot of my computer time too. I need to come back here and post more! Will work on that!
I met a lot of neat people here on blogger! I started this when I was home on disability, kinda for a journal for life.

Here are some pics from the last year or so, havnt been too busy but not taking as much pics either, as I used to.
