Its back
Well not by popular demand but I've been asked.... I put my playlist back up. Its not on auto start so if you want to hear any of it you will have to hit the play button yourself. I will not force my music on you :)

I will not be online for a while. Im berating myself at the moment. I screwed up my bank balance and found out I would be short for bills. I had been reading my online balance wrong it shows a combo of mine and Bills as we have seperate accounts. So I would have to take money from my husband which would leave him broke and without gas or cigarettes for about a week to be even. If I can get the water bill squared away things will be fine pay it later or whatever but still I feel lower than a piece of crap, and my husband is furious with me (and he well should be).

Hello,
My name is Nick and I work with the Illinois Bureau ofTourism. We are working on building sets on our photostreambased off people's favorite things in Illinois. This month,I asked people to tell me (via Twitter @enjoyillinois) whattheir favorite IL park is and the Carbondale Farmer's Marketat the Murdale Parking was one of the responses. Would it be possible for me to use your "Carbondale FarmersMarket" picture (link below) in this set? We may also use iton our Facebook page. I'll of course give you credit, linkto your photostream and won't use the photo anywhere elsewithout your permission.

Yesterday I made Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread! Thanks to Kathie over at Two Frog Home for sharing the recipe. Everyone loves it here at the house and that was really a confidence boost for me. It was also very therapeutic for me as I was having a bad day at the time.

April Fool's Day
It's too wet to till but I did set out stuff in all of the raised beds. I put down spinach, the broccoli plants, jalepenos (yeah it might be too eary) onions, bibb lettuce, loose leaf lettuce, radishes -both globe and french breakfast - an elongated strain. I am running out of room again in the grow boxes.
We did however go fishing :) We went Mon evening, Tuesday evening (after it stopped raining) and most of today. I only caught 4 bluegill, 3 were big enough. Bill caught 13 and had to throw 2 or 3 back. There WILL be more fishing. My wonderful husband takes care of the cleaning. I cannot handle that part very well. What was left over is buried in the compost. We use ALL the buffalo in this house :D
