Come on nothing is going to hurt you, this is just another one of those normal Monday morning's. Remember we have one of these every week.
..
If it will make you feel any better I will pour you a cup of Tea or Coffee, it's ready and waiting on you.
..
At bedtime last night the temperature was 67, now that is what I have been waiting for, and this Monday morning at 3 a.m.the temperature is 49 , and we are going to have more sunshine.
..
I was talking to Ted my next door neighbor who does so many things for me and he told me that he planed to get that garden spot ready this week. He does that for me every year. Here is a link below that Ted gave me, I like it and I am going to show it to you.
Thanks Ted, Dad.
.
DIRT ROADS
.
Now here is what Dad likes to see and talk about. I am going to get my order in soon, today if I possible can. And this will be the tomatoes that you can see growing in Dad's garden this year, by using DAD'S OUTDOOR WEB CAM this spring. You can watch them grow without leaving your easy chair.

Here is my thought for today.

" Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly."
.....
I am not sure who said this, but I want to thank you whoever you are, What a wonderful world this would be if all people would do this today. We can't control all people but, we can do our part, let's try it today and see how we feel at the end of the day. DAD.
.....
I think that it is time for me to stop. This is a Monday and I seem to have lots to do. This nice weather that we are having here in The Tennessee Valley is going to bring on more work for me, do I look worried, no I am happy that Tomato season is getting close. Smile.
....
I will be back in the early morning if all goes well.
Let's all try to do what that though up above says today. And don't forget our smile.

I like these Saturday's. What about you ? We can both take it a little slower this morning, we will just relax and drink our Tea or Coffee and take some rest that I am sure we all need.
..
I already have a big pot of Dunkins Donut coffee this morning, and it smells so good. Come on sit down, how can you wait. And that Tea smells good too Ally, I am sure that you are going to love it. If not fuss at me, and I'll try to do better. Dad.
..
Saturday is the day that I write my journal for two days in one as I do not write on Sunday morning. So this one is for Saturday and Sunday. Mary and I have our usual plans for Sunday. We haven't decided about our lunch yet , but it could be at Dad's table, nothing could please me more than that. Oh, I do believe that a platter of red ripe Tomatoes would make it perfect.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THIS WEATHER, HERE IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AT 3 A.M. THE TEMPERATURE IS 37. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IT IS GOING TO BE WARM FOR A FEW DAYS. NOW DON'T THAT LOOK LIKE THAT TOMATO SEASON IS GETTING A LITTLE CLOSER, ( here in the Tennessee Valley.) SOME OF YOU ARE ALREADY PRODUCING AND EATING TOMATOES. WHY DON'T YOU TELL US HOW YOU ARE DOING> DAD.
.....
Now would be a good time to start making your plans for your garden. You may have had some problems last season that you don't want to have this year.
.....
So now is a good time to send me your questions, I may not be able to help you very much but I can always call on some of my friends , who know a lot more than I will every know about tomatoes, and they will gladly help us out. And remember you can't loose because there is no charge or any obligation for this service. All that I ask is that you send me a big smile.
.....
You can send the questions any way that you choose. Email or Telephone. ( see bottom of blog ) and if you wish your name does not have to be published. So what are you waiting on, let's get started. DAD.

If it ever warms up you will see Dad out ther working in that tomato garden.

I DO HAVE BETTER LIGHTING AT NIGHT, NOT AS GOOD AS I HOPE TO HAVE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE FLAG WAVING IN THE BREEZE AT MIDNIGHT, AND THEN WHEN THOSE TOMATOES BEGIN TO GROW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH THEM FROM YOUR EASY CHAIR.

....

But if you want a bag of them you will have to walk down to the tomato garden, don't bring any money just a big smile.

....

I have not said anything about our day yesterday, but I will tell you that we did have a wonderful time. We had lunch in a restaurant that Mary and I had not been in before. ( I will tell you more about that later,) it's a long story, and so interesting. Thanks so much to S and N for taking us. DAD.

Here is my thought for this wednesday...
....
" Not everyone that sayeth unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. ''
....
What better place to read than Matthew chapters 5,6,and 7-- Word's of JESUS. This thought from chapter 7 and verse 21.
....
It is cold here in The Tennessee Valley, at 3 a.m. the tempeature is 12. That is too cold for old Dad, but I guess I will just have to wrap up a little more and take it. I don't want to go outside but the birds are completly out of feed and water, so I must go.
....
I am going to make our tea and coffee before I go and a cup of that coffee will help me. And guess what We have this morning some CHOCK-FULL-O-NUTS coffee the first that we have had in a long time, I made it good and strong so you may want some half and half. Help yourself and smile. Dad.
....
We have added several new links to our side panel for your convvience, and ours. I hope that you find them useful and interesting. More will be comming soon.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED & FORTY EIGHT.

Good Morning.
....
On our outdoor Cam we have a feature that lets us snap a picture if we see something there we would like to show. This is what I did yesterday when the snow began to fall. The picture does not let you see any snow falling in the air, but you can see the snow on the ground. I did receive a few comments while this was going on , some from far away places. Here below is one from one of my friend in California.
....
jmuhj has left a new comment on your post

SIXTEEN HUNDRED & FORTY SEVEN.":
....
Good morning, Dad, Ms. Mary, and Princess beauty! Hope you feel better as the day goes on. Looks like it's snowing over your way -- your WebCam looks beautiful! I enjoyed the gardening video and plan to do what they say about storing seeds in a jar in the refrigerator. My dad's prized Blue Larkspur seeds should be nice and safe there. ;) Have a good day; best to you all, and big PURRS to the prettiest furry girl in TN! ^^
....
Now remember that my friend lives in Southern California.
....
Check this Cam out, some sunny days it is good, and I am trying to get the light working for night viewing, I have help it some but still need more light right on the flag.

Here is my thought for this tuesday:

'' Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.Which having no guide , overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.''
....
" How long will thou sleep, O sluggard ? when will thou arise out of thy sleep ? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."
....
Taken from Proverbs chapter 6 .V erses 6,7,8 9.10.and 11.

.....
My sweet daughter Mary has a birthday on the 5th. of February.that will be on Thursday of this week. I have't planed very much yet, but whatever Mary wants that is what Mary is going to get, she deserves it. She has been a great help to me in my old day's DAD.

.....
At 3 a.m. this morning the tempeature was 21 here at Dad's house. And I think that I saw where it said maybe snow showers again today, hang in there spring will soon be here.
....
It is time for me to run, be careful today the way you walk and talk, someone may be listining and watching. So we do want to be a good example, that is what it's all about. DAD.
....
I will see you early in the morning if all is well. Smile to day and do your exercise, I have heard it said that the best exercise is bending down to help some one that is having trouble.

Do you like Monday mornings, one is here anyway, so no need to complain. We need to get us a cup of either Tea or coffe and settle down for a good day. They will both be ready in about 15 minuets. Now smile.
....

Here is a suprise for you. A good Video.
..
I wan't to give credit to someone for this, but I hardly know who. So I hope that it is alright for me to show you this. It is good.

Here is my thought for today.
..
" If I have wounded any soul today. if I have caused one foot to go astray, if I have walked in my own willful way, Dear LORD ,forgive !
..
" If I have uttered idle words or vain. if I have turned aside from want or gain,, lest I myself shall suffer through the strain, Dear Lord, forgive. "

...
This thought above is two verses from a hymn that Maude Battersby wrote.

....
Don't forget to look at my side panel, and I hope that it is useful to you, I know that it is to me. We will be adding several new things sometime today.Dad.
....
Our weather is still warm, at 3 a.m. this monday morning it is 45, and I think that it says a little sunshine but there is a slight chance of rain this afternoon. I am patiently waiting for spring time.
....
Mary and I had a nice Sunday, we were in our sunday morning meeting and then spent the afternoon at home getting a little needed rest. Now we we are looking forward to our wed. night Bible study . Genesis, chapter 6.

It is always hard for me to write a blog on monday morning, I do not seem to have anything to say. So I guess that the best thing to do is to stop. so I am.
....
I do hope that I will be able to see you in the morning, I am not feeling the very best this morning. but I am trying to blame that on old age. Old age is something that is comming to a lot of us and we sure need to take heed to that saying at the top. " Time is precious- do not waste it."
....
Keep a smile on your face today if it is possible.
