I admit it…I caved and bought a new Kindle Fire HD 8.9″.  It’s the bigger and I love it.

You can see that I am reading a quilting ebook on mine now.  I am working on a review of this book.  The larger screen is awesome for reading larger sized books.  Isn’t that picture sharp?!?!

I love reading blogs with mine.

Here I am watching Bonnie Hunter’s Quilt Cam.

Being we have wireless at our house, it’s completely portable.  I can even sit outside on the patio and read.

To see my full report on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ , head on over to Michelle’s Romantic Tangle where I am guest blogging.

Yesterday was May 16th and that is the latest it’s been for me to plant a garden.  I would have planted earlier but it has been way to wet or too cold.  Just two weeks ago we had snow.  Finally it was dry enough so the guy who tills our garden came.

The second he left, I was off to the nursery to purchase plants.  The forecast was calling for rain overnight so I was racing the clock.  Thankfully my son Karl was willing and able to help.

I had a LONG afternoon and evening of garden planting…and listening to my book on tape….and watching Ruby play outside.  She was a dirty mess!!  She would dive into the creek and then come back and roll in the garden.  UGH!  She really did have fun though.

I am so glad I finally got an opportunity to plant.  With rain chances coming up for the rest of the week, I need to grab the opportunity to plant when I had it!!  By 8 pm the veggie were planted and the annual flower plants.  The veggies weren’t watered yet and I didn’t get the annual seeds planted as Hubby called from the tractor and said I needed to come help move to a new field.  An hour later I was back to the garden only it was dark and I wasn’t able to finish.  I guess the annual flower seeds will just have to wait until in dries up again.

Today I am sore but oh so thankful that I got a little window of opportunity to get things planted.
