A belated congratulations to my local football team back in England, Burnley F.C. The Clarets victory over Sheffield United gained them promotion to the Premier League after an absence of 33years. (In fact, 33 years ago the Premier League didn’t exist, it was just Division One). Back in 1882, Burnley F.C. was one of the founder members of the Football League and is now finally back in its rightful place. Well done lads, I’m proud of you. My son-in-law took my 12-year-old grandson to Wembley to see the match, a thrilling experience for them both.
Digging in the Dirt
The other day I was playing in the muck, and finally getting a few flowers planted. I usually get it done much earlier than this, but it has been such a wet and stormy spring that the job kept getting put off. This particular day was really cloudy and cool, thus a perfect gardening day for me, as I loathe laboring in the heat. The weather reminded me of summer days in England, endless gray skies, with the ever-present threat of rain. In fact, I had no sooner put in the first plant than the heavens opened. Fortunately, it was only a heavy shower, so it didn’t deter me for long. And it’s a good thing that I got the gardening done when I did, today it’s hot and sunny again.
I have added more perennials to the garden this year, though it’s always hit and miss whether they come back, some are more tolerant of the cold winters than others. I will put some photos up, once the plants get established. Our veggie garden is coming along great, if you’re interested you can check out Mick’s blog at http://oklahomegrownveg.blogspot.com/
Toodle pip for now.

Hi Jan! Congrats on your team. My husband is a Watford supporter so we understand where you are coming from about getting into the premiereship. Hadn't seen you post in a while, hope all is well. How's the dental nightmare going?

Hi Jan :) I hope all is well with you and your health is good too.
That's a major accomplishment for Burnley F C. Congratulations! I bet your garden is flourishing by now. How about your flowers, plenty of beautiful colors I'm sure have bloomed all around. Miss you, say hi to your honey :) and all your cats and critters too. How's Percy, still afloat? I'll give a ring, number has changed.
Your old friend, Vicky, that Idaho mountain girl.
I was thinking about you the other day, but couldn't for the life of me think what your blog was called.
Why did you give up blogging?
