Daddy’s Garden

Dad garden

With Spring finally here in Georgia, my daddy is chomping at the bit to get his garden planted. Honestly, it keeps him going and there's nothing I like to see more than him getting excited about his garden, planting seeds and plants and watching them grow into something our family can eat. He's been doing this for so long, as long as I can remember and it truly keeps him active and loving life. So, we will never discourage him from gardening as long as he is physically able to do it.

Gardening keeps my daddy going, I'm convinced of that! He will be 88 in July and is still going strong. He complains when the weather doesn't warm up fast enough so he can get out there and prepare his plot of dirt.

Money Tree Growing – Information On How To Grow A Money Tree

By Nikki Phipps (Author of The Bulb-o-licious Garden) Yes, money does grow on trees, IF you grow a money tree. Growing money trees is easy, though somewhat time consuming – but it’s worth the wait! Read on to learn more about money trees in the garden. How to Grow a Money Tree First thing you need when growing these trees is, of course, some seed. Again, you should be aware that growing money trees from seed takes time, and lots of it, but in the end you’ll be financially rewarded. Money trees are available by denomination – pennies will yield a dollar tree, nickels a five-dollar tree, dimes a ten-dollar tree and quarters a twenty-dollar tree. I prefer dollar trees, as they seem to have a higher yield per season over all, and over time dollars add up. So while you might think planting a higher denomination variety will provide

Fashion Over 50: Shopping for Spring

012

Since I started my Fashion over 50 posts, they have been really popular and recently I got a message from Debbie, another blogger friend I know who lives here in the Atlanta area. She asked me if I'd go shopping with her and help her pick out some new spring fashions. She said she is not good about getting outside her comfort zone and trying new things, so would I PLEASE go shopping with her. I said, sure....let's go shopping!

I can't go shopping with everyone though, just sayin'! :)

We met up at TJ Maxx in Roswell for some retail therapy and had fun choosing some fun new spring clothes for Debbie to try on. I went around the store, looking in her size and chose several tops and pants for her to try on.
