So for the past few weeks the hub and I have been doing some landscaping projects. This past weekend my husband's mission, should he choose to accept it, was to build a veggie/herb garden for me. Luckily for me he choose to accept the mission and unluckily for him a heat wave decided to set in upon Los Angeles. Despite the heat wave we went to Home Depo bought some plants for the flower bed we built last week and also some wood. We got home ripped out the roses and various weird plants growing on the side of the house. We replanted the roses elsewhere and got rid of the weird plants. We sprayed the newly plant free side of the house with poison so no weeds or grass or bushes would grow and the hub began his mission to build me a raised 8 foot box. the purpose of this box is to plant some herbs and veggies. I am sooo turning into my grandmother, an avid gardener...although, I haven't her knack of keeping things alive as well as she does. I am getting better though. Some of the plants and replants have lived. We finished the box this weekend and now I have been reading about herbs and veggies. Gots to see which dummy proof veggies I can grow. I did successfully grow some tomatoes last year so I am hoping for the best this year. Wish me luck!
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
