I am ...Just getting caught up on some of your post. I am keeping you in prayer, dreams can be good but then when we wake up, its not so good. I have them of my father and its been almost 10 years since he has been gone and I still miss him.<br /><br />We almost have the same cutter, I do not know the name of mine but it looks the same accept its red. Its a great cutter and reaches up to 14 feet. The spring broke on it last year and I could not find a replacement so I had to buy a whole new head just for the spring but at least I have other parts should I need them. <br /><br />Seeing all your beautiful flowers, its making me have spring fever. That flax bloom, its that from flax seed? is that the kind you eat? I by my own seed and grind them into meal and bake with them. Its great for lowering choloterol. So if this is the plant, the flowers are lovely!!<br /><br />I do hope you get the leak fixed soon and things get back to normal or at least a dull thud so you can sit back and enjoy your hard work in the garden and your caravan.

I borrowed the pattern from my daughter, but it is a Simplicity, number 3949. I don't sell the things I make but usually give them as gifts. Thanks for your interest in them.<br /><br />Your beautiful flowers are such a wonderful reminder of God's love for us.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-47329156351918001792014-01-01T11:45:35.568-05:002014-01-01T11:45:35.568-05:00Your plumbing trials and tribulations remind me of...Your plumbing trials and tribulations remind me of my 9 years as a single mother, the pipes froze and broke every winter, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Then, you in turn can comfort others who are experiencing some of the same emotions and challenges. ♥<br /><br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-68798965892566244302014-01-01T09:54:14.220-05:002014-01-01T09:54:14.220-05:00Lorraine, I am so sorry for the plumbing problems ...Lorraine, I am so sorry for the plumbing problems but am glad you've someone to call upon.

The alamanda has an absolutely amazing color. I grow 'Mister Lincoln' in my garden, too, and can just attest, that it has an incredible nice and strong fragrance. <br />I am really sorry to read that you have another leak under your house. Having no running water isn't really fun :-(. So I hope that you get the help that you need to fix it very soon. Staying positive with all the challenges that you are facing is an art that needs to be cultivated, but I know that often it is the only way to deal with things otherwise it totally pulls you down. Wishing you that 2014 will be easier for you and that you will be happy and healthy as well!<br />Warm wishes, Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-67598982834068383082013-12-31T18:18:07.604-05:002013-12-31T18:18:07.604-05:00Coming over to wish you a Happy 2014!

He likes outdoor work.<br /><br />I hope you get your water issues solved soon, but you're clever to set up an outside sink, and as you note, it's warm enough down in FL that you can do stuff outside and not freeze to death right now!
