Wynn's Folly Minis

I've been waiting on this to round out my collection.
today (2/19, Wed) Early Bird Books has most of the Discworld ebooks on sale for $1.99 in most formats. Great time to dive in. Most characters have several books, so you can get their "batch" today for the usual price of one book.
I was about halfway there in collecting most of the books

The dogwoods and violets are in bloom. Did a lot of potting and planting. Divided the ginger plant into several buckets.Ups &
Downs include romaine lettuce 6pack I over paid for only had 3 plants with actual root systems. However the lettuce seeded in garden is going gangbusters. The dill and sage aren't looking good, but I actually had a radish to eat!
We planted out several things, and David used the tractor to remove the azaleas with the most damage. We replaced two out front with rhododendrons we've babied for a year. He also put in one flower bed for which we had a pack of holly hocks, phlox & a fancy daylily. Overseeded all the broken ground with zinnia flower heads.

After getting plants last weekend, I got plants potted(blackberry in large pot, a sage and hummingbird mint in small pots) and seed starts.
Herbs (thyme & basils) plus peppers, eggplant & various tomato seeds collected last year.
Sorted seeds, mostly for early spring planting, sugar snap peas, lettuces, greens, and cabbages.

Here cause I think the person who just sent me an infuriating email stalks my other social media.
I am not always quick on the uptake with social clues, but I'm pretty sure the co-worker who I had to tell that I couldn't research their project within the next week just called me a liar. Since they said that they thought I could too work up the info, I just didn't want to, and they still "appreciate" me, I'ma gonna go with that. Also, their data is crap from estimates made several months ago. I had replied with the correct data, and a breakdown that would yield relevant results without hours of data searching while I'm elbow deep in all the extra reports required in January.

Just glad to get nearly through the end of a fiscal year, and move forward. I guess that's one of the challenges of being a bookkeeper, whether at end of month or end of year, you're looking backward as at the same time, you are moving forward. This sense of dislocation seems to be my natural state anyway.
In other absolutely unique news, it's cold.

Yesterday, I had a discussion on Facebook with my sister about collecting Vaseline glass, which glows under black-lights.
Today I'm the one who should glow in the dark, as it is time for scans again. This should be my last one on the six month schedule, and the next should be a year from now. I've had all the PET/CT scans insurance will pay for, and now I'm getting a combo of CAT and bone scans.
Both involve drinking contrast liquid and a radioactive injection. I have to admit I kind of enjoy the bitter tonicwater taste of the contrast liquid. I just have trouble remembering what kind of routine I should follow beforehand. Part of the confusion results from switching types of scanning on short notice because insurance. I was prepared for one, then got the other. But there are worse types of medical investigative procedures to have. The only complaint about doing it annually is that I just hit my deductible on one visit. So now I'm guaranteed to use my deductible every year, and insurance won't really have to pay out anything.

Yesterday, while the winds blew from a high of 78° to a near frost overnight, I got out some new beads and supplies I'd bought during October.
Decided to try something beyond earrings, and I'd seen bead bracelets strung on memory wire to wrap around wrists.
The first I tried was with some cheap glass beads, then I did one with lapis beads spaced with white stone beads, moved on the one made with a strand of beads I'd picked up on eBay of unknown pedigree, then one using a variety of stones and pearls.

This spring we went to Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs to catch the tulips. We also made a trip to the crystal mines, and one north to Mammoth Spring to visit family.
Wonder if we'll keep up the pace next year.

This year we've been to Biloxi, Pigeon Forge and Branson.
I finally got to see Bellingrath and rhododendrons in bloom in the Smoky Mountains. in three trips to Branson, we saw about six inches of snow in March, I rode a rollercoaster with my sister in May, and we toured Top of the Rock in October.
It's been a busy year.
