THE DAY WAS SUCCESSFUL as we went shopping for tulip bulbs at the KSU Gardens. I've been to quite a few Iris Sales, but never tulips so I didn't know what to expect. Arriving right at 1, the parking lot was full of cars where parking was very limited. We walked to the area where the sale was going on, grabbed some plastic bags to fill and started shopping.
There was no line waiting to get in as the customers were already lined up to check-out. So many tulip bulbs were still available.
They had tarps on the sidewalk with the tulip bulbs lying on them. You were free to pick up and buy as many as you wanted. We had three bags full so we were charged $5 a bag.
The section I shopped was called PRINCE MIX and Hubby shopped BOLD MIX. Until they bloom next SPRING we won't know for sure what we really have. I thought you plant the bulbs in the FALL, but the care description sheet said to plant them as soon as possible. This week to come the tulips will go in the ground.
Went to Dollar General for some cold drinks as I was coughing way too hard. Staying in the car, I vapor locked. It wasn't without concern. I don't know about this. Back to the doctors if I continued coughing like there is no tomorrow.
A long term respiratory infection is probably what I have. Since the airways get inflamed, my son suggested taking the anti-inflammatory OTC med Ibuprofen every 4 hours. I'll give it a whirl.
Off to the main house with yard work to do with the temperatures hitting 90 something. Way too HOT. Jumped right into SUMMER. Lil Miss came over to finish raking the leaves up and bagging them. She did a super job. Appreciated her help so much. Hubby will get up early tomorrow morning to work on planting grass before the heat of the day. If the weather is going to sky rocket into the 90s, we'll not have much more Spring. Disappointed and not ready for the dog days of Summer.
ON THE HOME FRONT: I'm gathering pictures and placing them in the living room to take to the COTTAGE. Have mercy, we have so many pictures. After we get settled I will need to thin out the pics and get some of my favorites framed. Drawers from a chest of drawers and vanity plus a antique vanity chair have been carried downstairs and placed by the French doors so they can be carried to the car to take to the COTTAGE. A little at a time and we'll get there. Slowly I go, but am in motion. This is the stuff I can do.
Took some honey for this cough and it helped for a short time.
I'm beginning to wonder when this cough will stop.
WONDERING.
WONDERING.
WONDERING.

Dear Deana, please excuse me for barging in! You don't know me, but I got here by way of Mrs. White's blog. We used to live in Kansas, so your blog was fun for me to read and remember our time there. I've followed your adventures with much interest and sympathy. My husband and I are about the same age as you and your husband, so we feel we have a lot in common. I am so concerned about your cough that I just had to make a suggestion. If you are taking lisinopril for your blood pressure, please ask your doctor about it. Lisinopril and all the other drugs ending in "-pril" are a type of drug called ACE inhibitors. They are well known to cause a cough that can be just AWFUL. Not all doctors know this. I suffered for a year with the most horrible cough, and my doctor put me through every test in creation, but the cough never stopped. Finally I read about this side effect. As soon as I stopped the lisinopril, the cough went away like magic. Maybe this is not your problem, but I felt as if I just had to tell you about it in case it might help you. Best wishes!
