I found this picture while going through my dads things…

On July 26th I picked this…

…from my garden. I must have missed one of the cucumbers, because today I found this…

Yup, that is one big cucumber.

I got the garden weeded and finally remembered to take a picture of it. So, I thought I would post a picture of it…(click on picture for larger picture)

I got out to visit my garden yesterday. Before I started weeding I was able to take some pictures.

and the salad, before weeding…

I have been waiting for this particular Iris to bloom. I had forgotten that I had this color so when the buds started I was shocked to see that they were not white. It is a pleasant suprise.

…which means that I have made another necklace. And Photos of the Week, which are below.

Other than that, I am just trying not to lose my mind. I am switching anti-depressants. So, I am off any of them for 7 days. This is Day 5 and hopefully the homeopathic stess lozengers will help. The headaches have been really bad the last two days as well, which means that I am constantly medicating myself. I called the doctor today, and he assured me that I could take what I need for the pain. Hopefully when I start the other anti-depressant the migraines will drop a bit.

I also took pictures of the Iris’ in the yard. We are having such a great year with them. I am so happy to see all the flowers as they bloom.

I am so happy it is spring. I just love watching the plants, and seeing the beautiful flowers

This basically discribes the state of my house after a day off…

OK, it isnt to bad. I did have a sink FULL of dirty dishes, the laundry still needs to be done and the floor really could use a vacuuming. I am going to try to get everything caught up tomorr…er, today so that I can make the house imaculate for my daughters Nona and Uncle who will be visiting this Friday. No pressure

Mothers Day was wonderful. I started the Pot Roast on Saturday night so that I wouldnt have to cook. My daughter tried to make me a cake, which was great (a bit flat though). My family got me stargazer lilies, so I can put them in the garden to make up for the ones that the skunk apparently ate. I was given some pretty flowers at church as well, and I think it is time to plant the marigolds and morning glories, though I would like it to stop raining for a day or so, so that the poor things wont get washed away.

I am out of my regulare Migraine meds, so I have resorted to Excedrine…and now I am so hyper I dont know if I will get any sleep tonight. Thankfully, I can get my meds filled on Tuesday. Oh well, I hope that everyone has a great week!

I just checked the weather, and they are saying we are going to get between 2-3 inches of rain today. The news just reported that we have gotten over 3.5 inches of rain! It has been pouring all day, so I decided to go check the waterfall in town.

This is what the falls usually look like…

I think that this is the highest I have seen the water at the pond, since I have lived there (9 years)

I came home to find that one of my Iris has decided to open today. I love these flowers and I am so happy to get the chance to take this picture.
