This morning, I checked my accounts and researched the latest rates for CD’s. One had just matured, so I followed the prompts to renew it. In my case, the eight month CD was the most lucrative. I thought to myself, “I just secured some of my retirement savings, on a Sunday, from my rocking chair!” Wow! Technology is amazing. It took me a few tries to do what I wanted, but the goal is now completed.
The front garden is budding and blooming. I bought this Pink Jasmine last year in a small pot at Trader Joe’s. It is now happily climbing my front fence. I love the fragrance and the vibrant color.
I picked up a Foxglove at our local nursery. I have always wanted one…I love the speckled flowers. As I gently put it in the ground, I noticed several earthworms, turning and aerating the soil. I was so pleased. I fed everything some fish emulsion and kelp.
We are expecting rain in California, and snow in the mountains. The car has a full tank of gas, the firewood is stacked inside and by the front door, and a pot of beef stew has been simmering on the stove. We are prepared! How about you?

Foxglove pop up like weeds all around my garden. I love to see what colours will open.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, Cherie. I would love to have a variety of colors. They are really expensive here. I hope it blooms yearly.
DeleteTechnology is wonderful these days. We finished our taxes from our family room chairs in February-easy peasy. We have white jasmine growing in our front courtyard and I love the fragrance. I am a big, big believer in fish emulsion and kelp tea in all our gardens. Smells awful, works wonders!
ReplyDeleteThat’s great, Anita. My neighbor recommended the white jasmine for privacy. I just planted some Spanish Lavender, and thought of you.
DeleteYou sound wonderfully well organized with everything from your finances to your garden to your meals, Stephenie. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bless. I am working on it. Planning ahead gives me a feeling of security. You sound very organized with your meals and finances, too.
