Betty’s cancer has progressed, even with treatment, to the point we had to make the hard decision. So, her last day will be Friday. Some moments she seems fine. Other moments are very upsetting. Yesterday she had three seizures. Today one of the cancer sores on her hip looks deep. There isn’t a cure. She won’t improve. I hate this part of life. #nostr #grownostr #boxermom #dogs

Got the trellis put on these two. Shuffled some stuff around. Saw a ribbon snake. Came in for lunch. LOL #snake #wv #garden #holsteinhouse #bnb #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y’all! Dad came to switch out. He didn’t bring food, he brough flooring. LOL Mom took off shortly after. Babies got leftover fish tail for breakfast, and are now taking a nap. Time for me to get moving. Planning to spend most of the day in the yard. Have a wonderful Saturday! #eagles #wv #usa #holsteinhouse #bnb #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y’all! Still a bit cool to be outside, but planning to get final planter assembled, then placed. I need to gather up the wood to put in the bottom. Pollen will likely hamper efforts. What are you looking at today into the weekend? #pollen #allergies #spring #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #nostr #grownostr

The final home worship. Easter Sunrise Many Christians in the United States look forward to gathering at sunrise on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. In some communities multiple churches come together for one unified service. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CX4stp3mt/?mibextid=wwXIfr

These next three services are really one event, stretched over three days. For this Maundy Thursday service, provide a bowl of water and a clean towel for each person present. (Term maudy comes from the Latin word "mandatum," meaning "commandment," reflecting Jesus' instruction to love one another.)

Moved the sprouts to the basement where I set up a full spectrum grow light. It’s a little too cool down there to germinate seeds. Got a new light to add to the small one I have from last year. #grownostr

Things slowly coming together. Yesterday was unproductive where Christmas is concerned. Dad had dr appointment (scheduled), then to eat, then to Walmart for flu, and shingles vaccinations. He wanted to shop a bit, then home, dinner with Mr. Holstein, then choir practice. So exhausted. LOL Dining room coming together. #holsteinhouse #Christmas #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Finally started inside decorations. Only a couple weeks late. #holsteinhouse #christmas #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! My supporters cheering me on while I exercise this morning! LOL #health #seniorfitness #wv #usa #grownostr #gm #pv

Got my 30 minute in house walk in. Critters and poultry tended. Just finished harvesting and watered. Found a couple worms on the tomatoes. A few aphids, also. A good mess of green beans, some peppers and Indigo Rose tomatoes. Kale and chard underneath. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr
