Friday, September 14, 1954 – Today is my 64th birthday! Happy Birthday to me! Lots of wonderful birthday wishes from my Facebook friends and family, my sister and my two sons. My birthday celebration started a couple of weeks ago when our oldest son’s family took us out to dinner at LaCaretta – DELICIOUS!!! Our youngest son Chip, Misty and Kallie took us this week to a new restaurant in Amite called Boot Hill – new found DELICIOUS!! I truly think we’ve found our new favorite restaurant in Amite! Iplan to rite about our meal at Boot Hill since it’s a new restaurant and the word needs to get out! We are celebrating yet again this evening at Madisyn’s school’s family dance. I will share about that later. Sunday will be birthday cake at Chip and Misty’s house. I feel so loved!
Here’s what was originally today’s blog post before I started on the birthday kick!
No, there is no such there as Chauvin Produce Company but as much effort as this garden is taking there should be. My honey Roy is a beast and works as hard as he can to complete every project he undertakes.
We are moving lots of our flowering plants from over by the RV patio; moving our blueberry plants AND undertaking our first real vegetable garden in years. Last year’s pitiful effort taught us we need to learn more and do things way different.
First on the plan was to make room next to the house to move the eight blueberry bushes to. They will be in mostly full sun. Where they are located now they are mostly shaded. A little sun but not enough. The last two years our crop from eight bushes we had two berries one year and three berries the next!
This 25 foot by 8 foot degrassed space will be the home of our future blueberry garden!
The 25 foot by 8 foot area of grass was transplanted to an area we’ve been trying to get grass to grow since we moved here. 
Peat Moss, Cow Manure and Compost along with Fruit bush fertilizer containing ground sulphur will be mixed in with the soil for our blueberries. Lots more than what this picture shows.
My sweet ex boss and dear friend Donna and her great hubby Chuck said we can use their tiller for our blueberry patch and our vegetable garden. Next up will be photos of several days of work on Roy’s part digging up the grass. Yes grass that we hand planted and lovingly helped to grow and spread. That’s the grass Roy dug up!
The seeds planted two weeks ago are ready to be put into the ground! And my rock row markers! I added some different vegetables after we started so there was more rock painting for the onions, bell pepper and brussel sprouts!
Here’s Roy carrying the roll of grass down the hill in the wheel barrow. 
The boards Roy got to frame the vegetable garden.
Next time I’ll share all the tilling, adding layer after layer of nutrients, building the vegetable garden frame, digging rows and planting the vegetables I started from seeds.
Ya’ll come back now, ya’ hear!
