Wow you all have been busy on here today... thanks to all for your well wishes. I didn't feel too bad after I got moving but have been busy all day doing research on gardening, sewed some new sanitaries and went to Lowes and bought the Bee Balm. Thank goodness I hadn't planted it though because one of the groups I belong to that I had asked some questions and it took awhile for them to reply.. 2 of the girls said it's in the mint family (that wasn't mentioned on the site I did my research on, GRRR!) and anyone who has grown mint well knows it is invasive as all get out, you can not kill that stuff. So tommorow back it goes, the hummingbirds will just have to find something else to hang out on.

The book I'm reading is called "Compost" the natural way to make food for your garden by Ken Thompson. One interesting homemade compost he had on there was made from car tires stacked up on top of each other and he found a trash can lid that fit in the top hole. Now I'm not so sure with where tires have traveled that I would want that in my food supply but it was interesting non the less.


Frugal today other than driving across the street to Lowes was staying home and not spending money. I made the burrito's for dinner, worked on the coupons to send to the club this morning, that was about it I think. The Vet called today and we are to keep Windi on antibiotics for another two weeks, then do another urine test and yes, they are going to chase her around with the paper plate again. If the crystals are still there, then we'll be doing the ultrasound to see if she has kidney stones. She didn't seem overly worried about the cushing disease right now?? so fingers crossed this round of antibiotics does the job.

Well I better get off here and get dh's tomato juice done.

Oh another thing I've been doing some research on is growing Stevia next year at home. I was given the instructions on how to make it in sugar, very easy and it's much better for diabetics than anything out there!! and you can grow it at home can't get much more frugal than that!
