ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED & TWENTY THREE


Good Morning.
.
Time is so precious-do not waste it.
.
The sun never sets on Dad's Tomato Garden Journal
.

I am in my little office here in Tennessee at 3 A.M. on Friday morning, feeling very good, at least able to smile. And I am hoping the best for all my friends in every part of this world, Check my visitors list and you will see where some of my friends are located.
.
I've learned that keeping a Tomato garden is worth a medicine cabinet full of pills.
.

We have not received any of those pr0mised showers yet, but we keep hoping, today may be the day. It is starting the day warm again 68 at 3 a.m. and it will reach the high 80's today. You can almost see the tomatoes growing, I hope that you can see them on the Cams.

I am spending a lot of time down there every day now and I feel like it is doing me a lot of good.

Let's have our Tea or Coffee before we go up to the Eagle Web Cam It is ready, good and hot, and there is plenty of it. So come on in and sit a while, I am looking at a sign here on my desk that says RELAX. That is good advice.

Now if you have finished your drink we can go up and watch the eagles. I watched them a lot yesterday, and they are growing so fast; they will soon be taking flying lessons.

.

This link below will be of interest to you, it tells us about the sick baby eagle that we had last year. where he is and how he is doing. There are a few pictures of him. Dad.

This will take you to Dad's Tomato Garden Album showing you our tomato crop of last year,2008. It shows the tomatoes from setting them out until the big red ripe home grown tomatoes begin to show up.

We are going to be showing our 2009 crop soon, be sure and watch for it.

I want to tell you all that have sent me so many comments that I do appreciate it and I do read every one of them. But I am so far behind with my email that I have not been able to answer all of you yet. Please forgive me, I am going try to do better.

Here is my thought for today.

" And even though disappointments come, they too are best for me. To lead me from this changing world and lead me nearer Thee."

This thought is a line in one of our hymns. R.L. Allan & Son of Scotland gives me permission to use this.

.
This is enough for one day, I hope that I can see you in the morning, let's all do our best to be happy today, smile a lot and be kind and gentle to all that we meet, friend or foe.

BYE BYE DAD.

Hi Dad, don't worry about ever e-mailing me, because I never expect that. I just comment to let you know that I'm out here reading your good blog.

I'm glad that you are feeling some better today, & that you are smiling at 3 am. I'd be a grouch at that time of the morning. :) I hope you have a wonderful day down by the olt tomato patch!

Hugs

Good morning Dad, I hope you get that much needed rain today, we are getting dry also. It does make a body feel better to just stroll around and look at growing things. Well I am off to check the eaglets. I haven
t done that this morning. You and Mary have a great day. Hugs to you both, Helen

I do wish I could send some of our rain your way. It's a dark and cloudy morning here with more rain on the way today. We'll only reach the mid 60's here and no tomatoes in the ground yet. By the end of the month people in northern Ohio can safely get their gardens in.
I am SMILING ! It is Friday and the weekend will begin as soon as I leave work today.

Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:

Unfortunately, your WebCams will not open for me today, but I did take a peek at the eaglets and they seem to grow by the second! Two of them were having a beak contest. I don't know what it means. Thank you for linking to the little guy from last year -- I always love followups and it's so good to see he is safe and doing well!

It's wonderful seeing all the different lands where you have fans, Dad!

Your Thought For The Day is so appropriate to me today, and while enjoying my coffee, I am SMILING knowing that it is so true.

Love and hugs to you both from Jamaka and fams
