What's been going on
Staying home and being careful. We really don't go out much anyway because of the Cowboys illness.
We did go to Half Price Books a couple weeks ago when our stores reopened.
I spend most of my time in the yard working or in my craft room when I am not managing the house and caring for the Cowboy.
We. . . I have been going to some local food pantries.  It helps because of the Cowboys strick diet.  Somethings cost alot that he needs and it also keeps me out of the grocery store and away from crowds.
I won't be doing SWAPs anymore at least for awhile.  The Cowboy is concerned about so much mail coming in.
So far now we are still isolating as much as we can so the Cowboy can stay healthy.

Something fun to share
The 25th is our anniversary.  To honor the Cowboy and our Love story I am hosting  book tour called 
To Love A Cowboy
I will be featuring 4 authors and 4 books/series and I will
be sharing our Love story.  I hope you'll come by!

In the craft space 
I finished a few projects for May and June SWAP this'll be the last one I do for a while at least I was really sad but I think it's going to be a good thing no more deadlines I can create what I want to create how I want to create. 



In the garden
I have been picking Green Beans and Peas every day.  Not enough to can 2 whole rows of Beans I planted did not sprout.
I think so much rain washed the seeds away.  I have Sunflowers sprouting where I plan to put the compost pile and 4 Zinnias growing outside the bed in the grass!
The Bee Balm is beautiful and it is attracting Bee's and 
Butterflies and Dragon Flies.  Today Isaw a Humingbird visit!
I will try to take pictures this week.



My 'Ta Da' Moments
I guess my 'Ta Da'  moment was getting through the week it was a long hard hot busy and stressful week with doctor's appointments anOn d in all that goes with it lab works appointments. 
I also began a better schedule in a routine for cooking breakfast and getting all the prep, serving and clean up done.  It was a good feeling getting up earlier and going ahead and getting breakfast done and  the kitchen cleaned up before it was time to turn around and cook lunch.  Ta Da

On the To Do List
Earlier in the month I dressed the mantle to celebrate our Anniversary. 

I am ready to change it for  simple Summer Theme.
I want make a Patriotic Theme for the mantle in the Summer Room/Green House
