I'm wondering about cheap light therapy alternatives.  Those lamps are expensive.  We have had a lot of rainy, damp, grey and snowy days.

I do enjoy watching the snow and walking the dogs in it.  But my nose and feet are wet and cold.

I just moved to Dover,  Delaware.  I lived in Maryland for 21 years.  Before that I lived in Newark, Delaware for 25 years.  I will never ever move again.  I felt like a maniac at times.  It was stressful.  The are a couple of good things that happen when you move.  The excitement of a new area.  I'm half way to the beach now.  Cleaning out 21 years worth of stuff was an enormous task but well worth it.  It's actually 'enlightening'.

Now I have to start new gardens all over again.  I want to landscape around the house, around a pond. and at the forests edge and along the fence we put up to keep the dogs out of our Neighbors Yard. 

I've got ideas for the fence.  The split rail fencewith green wire mesh is the easiest.  It's semi-shady.  I'm planting 3 climbing Hydrangeas along the fence.  I'm hoping for slow growth.  I want the hydrangeas to grow on top of the fence for privacy.

I have a  natural pond with a spring leaking into it.  It's about 25 by 40ft  big.  The Pond is in an Oval shape.  The first thing to do is get the water tested and find out what the tiny, tiny green balls are floating all over the top of the pond.  It's not stringy algae.  My dogs swim in the pond and the 1/4 size tiny pea shaped medium new grass green just flick right off the dogs.  Now I have no idea how to landscape this pond.

There are two more areas to be lanscaped.  Between the yard and the woods around the house.  Between the house and woods is a big area of grass surrounding  the house. Here and there are a few established white oaks.  a few pine trees with branches startintg at about 4ft off the ground.  I've got a few bushes planted around the house already.  I've also planted lots of garlic chives, daisy's and an unknown bush along the back of the house.  That part of the house is in mostly sun.  I've got to go outside and find out what the unknown bush is.

Thats all I've got so far in the yard.  I will  get pictures of the yard up soon.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank You, Christine.

I'm wondering what kind of dry dog food to feed my dogs.  It's got to taste good and be good for them.  Not to expensive either.

I've been been busy gardening and hanging around the pool, playing with my husband and dogs.  Despite some mental and physical glitches I'm very happy.

any tips on designing a white garden would be appreciated.  I love my white flower garden.   White with green foilage is so serene and clean.

Well it's Wed again.  A hose in my Jeep froze up and burst.  Now I'm stuck at home.  Not so bad because I will not be out spending money.  I already whipped out the Victoria's Secret credit card the other day and ordered a couple of bras that look like jigsaw puzzle pieces.  I also ordered a pair of low ride, bootcut camo's.  I don't know why I want camo pants but I have been looking for a pair and these were perfect.  30 inch inseam, not baggy and low rise.  I'll wear them with black ballet flats.  I've started wearing flats and got over the fact that I'm 5'3''.  My husband is 6'6''.  At 45 years old I can wear what I want too.  :)

I think I spelled Wendsday right.  A cold Wed looked odd.  Been a long time since I typed out the whole word.  Actually spelling gets me nervous.  I think if you have a spelling error in your post or work that it makes one look uneducated and backward.  One of my favorite things to do is find spelling errors in things I read.  A local zine featuring Bars, Restraunts, Things to do, Bands to see ...has at least one typo in each weekly issue.  I really think I spelled Wed wrong. 

Today I feel great so far.  Money, money is a mood maker.  I get $ out of the bank and get to spend some at Goodwill today.  I'm looking for red items.  I was looking at the Anne Taylor Loft site and the color red is featured in this springs new looks.  Thats great because a few weeks ago I picked up a brand new pair of pointy red ballet shoes from Target at Goodwill for $3.50..made of leather.  I have no idea what to wear red shoes with.  Black is to obvious.  I think I'll try to wear red shoes with grey clothes. 

Well Wed day is rolling on with or without me.  So it's time to move on to another task, chore or honey do list.

I'm not in a good mood right now.  I feel like crying.  Hormones or I'm BiPolar.  Well this is new to me and I thought I might be in a better mood if I try this because I am frugal.  I do Bonus Points, click on email for 5 cents a day, send for freebies, shop at thrift stores.  I don't think I've ever bought anything for full price.  If I stick to the blog I'll have some good links for frugal living. 

I have 2 kids.  Sarah is 24 and Dougie is 21.  My husband is 6 months older than me.  Right now we are both 45.  I take care of 3 dogs.  One is my Son's Doberman.  She is 5 months old and my son is never home.  She's very dainty and sweet natured.  I have a 5 mo old Bull Mastiff named Archie and a Boxer Mix that is 7 years old.   Her name is Madame Yoo.   I crowned her Madame when the pups arrived (one week after the other)  Archie is 5 months old and 75 pounds.  He gains 20 llbs a month.  He's going to be huge!  Yoo has been queen bee for almost 7 years.  She has blue eyes!  She stays in the yard, is housebroken and is very very smart.  I hope the puppies manner's improve a lot in the future.

Now I have an agenda for the day.  I have to make a list so I'll actually do something.  I sleep a lot.  Ok I will make a list.                   

1. Get a shower.  2. Let my new hair cut dry naturally and see what it looks like.  3. Make the Bed.  4. Make Beef Stew.  5. walk the dogs  6. clean the paw marks off of the front door.  7.  Do laundry and put it away.  8 Walk the Dogs again.  9.  Feed the dogs again.  Vacuum the rugs.  9. Have tea.  and whatever else pups and pops up.
