We have had some square foot garden beds for years here. Then my husband made a garden at the office too, because he loves gardening. He didn't plant anything last year. I missed having fresh vegetables for meals. He has made no preparation this year, so I thought it was going to be another no-vegetable year, but he bought some tomatoes and peppers yesterday just for eating. I think I will work up a small area and plant a couple of cucumber vines and some summer squash, maybe a couple of eggplants. Just something small is all we need.

We have had our eye on a house in our subdivision at the end of a dead-end road for over two years. We haven't even seen inside it, but we love the lot it is on. It caught our attention when they originally listed it two years ago, but they pulled it right back off the market before our scheduled viewing. They now say that they are moving in June and have scheduled it to go on the market after they move. I hope that they don't change their minds again, that when we see the inside, we like it as much as the outside, and that the price is right. Houses used to sell for an amount per square foot, with a little thrown in for extra amenities, but since the pandemic, people just throw out a price and don't even get an estimate on their house.

Our oldest grandson, his wife and son, his youngest brother, and his best friend went to the lake house this weekend. They seemed to have had a good time, according to what they say when they call or text us, looking for something or showing us something. I am glad to see some of them enjoying it.

Having new colors of flowers blooming daily now. It was kinda strange that it has bloomed one color at a time this year instead of like plants blooming together. Yesterday I had white roses, white clematis, and white Dutch iris blooming. The clematis usually blooms with the other clematis, which are winding down now. A week ago, only red roses bloomed, although I have other colors of some of the varieties that didn't bloom. It is kinda weird but nice.

Being comfortable in our retirement years. We worked hard and saved/invested hard to get here. I was always scared after we quit public jobs and started working for ourselves without a company matching our retirement fund, that we wouldn't have enough, and sometimes the debt load during those years scared me spitless, but it worked out.
