T stands For

 Hi Everyone!

Not much going on. It is storming something wicked after a week a cold but beautiful days. As you probably know I am getting antsy to start my garden. My neighbor brought me 5 more pallets so I can enlarge my garden and not use up the deck so much for plants. 


I also got 2 galvanized raised beds that will take onions and lettuces. The ground is ready and I can't wait to get them set up.
I got a great deal on them at Amazon.

 
My other neighbor has a beautiful yard and is now giving me his grass clippings. I was at Walmart yesterday in the garden department. Not much stocked yet but the items that they do have are doubled in price since last year. However, I got two packaged root plants. One raspberry and I thought the other was blueberry. I get home to find I grabbed Hydrangea. I would take it back but Walmart is some 60 miles away. So, now I have to find a place to plant it.
 
I'm still in a Peace Health nightmare but I do have my right arm back in a better working order, by my own means not the doctor. Anyway, I am typing with two hands today. 
My drink for today is, a new to me, instant coffee by Folgers. It is
 
Mr. M. found it and I must say it is the best instant coffee. 
I am also drinking it with cream these days.

Note; that these are not my photos all came from google.
I'm linking up with Bleubeard and Elizabeth for the best T-party. Come by to see what everyone is doing.
Have a great day,
Nicole

Pallets can be very handy around a yard and garden! Nice score on the galvanized raised beds too!

Good to hear that you have managed to heal your hand to some extent. My best hopes for your better treatment by the medical establishment! And for your garden, too.

Instant coffee! That's a blast from the past :) I remember when it first took over the coffee shelves at the grocery store. Happy T Tuesday

Sounds like you are really itching to get gardening. The raised bed looks like a great idea.
I'm glad your arm is feeling so much better that you can type witth two hands. And all that without a doctor. Well done.
Happy T-Day and Valentine's Day,
Hugs,

It's that time of year to get antsy I think. When can you usually start your gardens? I can't wait to get into mine and you (I would guess) can get into yours earlier than me. Nice new raised bed too. I hope you continue to feel better, and have a great T day and Valentine's day too. hugs-Erika

I hope you feel better and better!
You were apparently meant to have a hydrangea. They are beautiful. ;)

It would be good to get in the garden, mine is quite messy.

That is a very nice plan for a garden. The galvanised garden bed looks so trendy and funky. You shall enjoy your good coffee!

I can't wait to get into the garden too, but it's still way too cold and the ground too hard. I love hydrangeas, but they don't taste as nice as blueberries lol. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

CJ Kennedy said...

I can feel your anticipation about your garden plans. I love hydrangeas, especially the blue ones. Feel better Happy T Day

My good wishes.

All the best Jan

Glad you are able to type with both hands, now. Enjoy your coffee; I will stick to my Earl Grey. Happy T Day.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I would have been by sooner, but was out much of the day getting supplies before the snow and freezing temps hit tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day. I am glad you are feeling a bit better and you are doing it your way.

You got a good deal on that galvanized raised bed. It won't be long till you will be planting in it.

I'm glad you found an instant coffee you like. I usually use cream (not creamer) with my coffee, but I found a coffee I love that I will drink black. Thanks for sharing your new gardening plans and your new coffee and cream with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nicole. See you Thursday evening.

Iris Flavia said...

Wow on your garden projects. And yay on your health getting better!

Jeanie said...

I'm so glad your right arm is coming back -- just in time for gardening. Great about the palettes and the raised bed.

Between company last week, prepping for a Cork Poppers do, an ear and/or sinus infection, and then this week's mass shooting in our town, I'm so behind blog reading, I'll never catch up! I'll try to take a look at all but not comment and hopefully be back on schedule this week!

Good news your arm is better. Good luck planting the hydrangea. They can get quite round.

Cathy Kennedy said...

The seasons really zip by, don't they? Here you are once again getting ready for your garden. It won't be long before we'll begin to see signs of spring. Usually by the end of February we see tulips popped out. I hope Mother Nature is on track this year unlike last. Take it easy, dearie. You and yours are always on my mind. XO
