As the new year begins, there is a lot going on around the Fogleman Funny Farm. Last year was hard for me. I finally broke down and saw a specialist to see what was going on. I've probably been dealing with Systemic Lupus for many years, but it finally made me stop and pay attention. The summer was miserable, but thankfully I'm getting back on my feet and feeling more human.
Planning
I've been wanting a big beautiful garden forever. It's something I've struggled with. We have house plants all over, but outside plants seem to hate me. Between the drought and unruly northwestern Oklahoma weather, it's just hard. I don't feel too bad because some of the best gardeners in our neck of the woods have been struggling as well.
This year, I am planning to beat it and really get a nice garden going. |
