Some Catching Up To Do

     It seems I have some catching up to do... It also seems I am still having computer malfunctions as it took me some 15 minutes to get back just today.

     I heard a preacher on TV not long ago saying that when things seem worst is when God is closest to you as that's when Satan is working hardest to get you back. Well, if that's the case, the devil is working overtime on me as of late. Therefore, God is tight by my side! Amen!

     It's like one step forward and 2 steps back trying to even sign onto my blog here. But no worries.

     It was, I think, mid August when I started having internet provider issues so it's been since then that I've been able to post anything at all. When I finally got back on I saw I have 3 followers. Grand deal and welcome!

     As I mentioned last time, August 11 was my boy dog, Vlad's birthday. I gave him & Bella, my she weenie some canned food and some other treats so it was a good day for them.
     We had a wet August for Mississippi and not too horribly hot, heat index in the 100 - 110 F range but typical.

     September 4 was Mom's birthday and the 10th was mine. As usual, my supervisor @ work screwed up my vacation request so Mom & I had our birthday dinner a week later than planned.


     My herb garden produced spectacular results! Basil (2 varieties), Spear and peppermint, dill, oregano, etc. all grew to mammoth proportions. I let them all go to seed and while they were in flower, the butterflies were flocking to my back yard. Also, maypops (passion flowers) volunteered in my grape arbor and I let them do their thing. I couldn't count the caterpillars consuming the leaves on the maypop vines. I don't know what critter they will become but I reckon I will know soon enough.

     Okay, this post has already become longer than most so I'll sign off before I bore you.

God loves you all and so do I!
