Puka's Kids

Hi Everyone! It's me...YeVette aka Puka. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I know pretty much everyone has seen my son Hubert Linzell (20 months...4 more months to 2 years old!), but here is my new addition, Olivia Sky Marie (almost 6 months!). Love you all!

Phyllis, and the Twins at the Community Garden

Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage then Collards top-left.

Another view Top view of the cabbage, I took two home!
Spring Cabbage taste better eaten young.

Berea is excited snapping off Collard leaves!

On Saturday, I took Mark and Berea with me to Fodor Farm. My little side-kick, Imani was away in New York visiting her folks. Berea and Imani have been to the farm with me, but it was Marks first time. He came reluctantly but with a bit of bullying from me he came, and had a fantastic time.

I was Hoping that you would see the little DVD Slide-show that I did, but I couldn't get it to load so I did some pictures. There were about 150 pictures, but here a re just a few. Enjoy!

Mark is more excited snapping Collard leaves -- they tasted great!

I am growing the following vegetables at Fodor Farm:

1. Jalapeno Peppers




2. Sweet Peppers




3. Bell Peppers




4. Hot Peppers (it has a name I can't remember)




5. Honey Dew Melon




6. Cucumber




7. Snow Peas




8. Bush Beans




9. Collard Greens




10. Cabbage




11. Brussel Sprout




12. Tomato




13. Eggplant (Purple)




14. Eggplant (white)




15. Zuchini




16. More cabbage

I have two plots 4' X 12' at Fodor Farm which is Norwalk's Community Garden.

My friend Daisy Marie goes out there with me, she has a garden and we share another garden that was abandoned by a friend. You will see photos of many gardens and I did not tag which ones were mine. You will see because I'm picking from one of them.

At home, I'm growing Zuchini, Tomato, Celery, Brussel Sprout, Cabbage, - this garden was a Father's Day gift to Melvyn.

I am also growing herbs - Mint, Lemon-Balm Mint, Oregano, Basil, Sweet Italian Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, and Parsley.

Peoria taught me how to garden, just in case you're wondering.

Love to you all!

If I missed any May birthdays -- sorry!

I heard that of all 18 children of Jefferson and Peoria -- there are actually 2 months that no birthdates occurred, is this true???

Norwalk Connecticut Weather

Let me tell you something.
I am NOT complaining, compared to all the earthquakes, tsunami's floods, wildfires, tornadoes (sp?), sinkholes, croccodile and alligator invasions, grizzly bears chasing folks at Yosimite Park, rattlesnake infestations, snow in Wyoming 2 days ago - nope, not complaining at all with a week of 90+ degree weather, air conditioners on full blast making electric bills go sky-high after a winter with $750.00 oil tank fill-ups at a time --- nawww, I ain't complaining about the weather at all!

Hey -- some of ya'll remember Sis Mae (Granny) Praising God til her wig flew off -- well, this ain't Granny but it sure brings back the memories, she's done it a few times!

It's GOOD TO BE ALIVE YA'LL!!!!!!!!

BLESSINGS!!
PHYLLIS

Photos!

These are updated photos of me and my Muk-Puk. No, that's not his middle finger! LOL! Before everyone starts to question the nickname "Muk-Puk" let me tell you how it come about. As you all know, my nickname is PUKA. My husband's nickname is MUKIE. So we took the first 3 letters of our nickname and named him Muk-Puk (pronounced: Mook-Pook). LOL! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!

Hi Family!

Presidential Politics

What about Hillary, Obama and the rest in the Presidential sweepstakes? Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Senator Dodd, the Senator from Connecticut is also in the race. What do you think?

Hey, what can I say. I like politics and politicians. I used to be one.
