Answers to Comments and Other Stuff

Ginger – no, I do not read Stephen King.  Not my kind of book.  As for Jack Reacher, they are mysteries, but not your typical find the killer before he kills again.  They are different and that is why I like them.  Of course, I also like the typical find the killer books.
 

Rita – as for the bees.  I just don’t want to get stung, and I want to be able to sit on my deck and enjoy my flowers without them buzzing around me.
 

Anonymous – when I read a book I always try to picture what the person looks like.  I  have always pictured Tom Selleck as Jack Reacher.
 

Donna – As for Shades of Gray; can you say porno.  I don’t see how they can make a movie of that book, or the series for that matter.

Yesterday Kevin and I went to Phenix City to check out sheds for my yard.  We went to a couple of places and found the best deal at Long’s.  I ordered the shed and it will be delivered sometime next week.  It will be built on the premises where I ordered it.  Renea and I have decided to “girlie” it up.  We are going to paint it (which we are supposed to do anyway) and plant some flowers around it.  The company gave us some flags to mark the spot where we want the shed, and Kevin and I will do that on Monday.  We plan to store one riding mower, the hand mower and my garden stuff in there. 
 

I did some weeding, watered my plants and filled the birdfeeders in the evening.  We were supposed to have rain, but, as usual, we were in the donut hole.  Rain all around us, but nothing here.  We are supposed to have rain today, but so far nothing.  Just a lot of clouds.
 

I did check my plants and they are all looking good.  I have three azalea plants which I named #1, #2 and #3.  They are all encore azaleas which means they should bloom in the summer.  Well, #1 has a lot of buds and they are getting ready to open.  #2 and #3 do not have any buds at all.  The plant I transplanted into a new pot has died.  I really didn’t think it would survive.  I guess I will have to get something new.
 

I bought new bedroom curtains.  Again, I was tired of the brown.  I bought green drapes that matches one of the shades of green in my bedspread.  I finally hung them yesterday and they sure look good.  I didn’t want normal tiebacks, so I bought these decorative things to use instead.  They really look good. 
 

Most of the work I had to do in my bedroom is finished except for the stack of papers I need to sort through.  Some will be filed and others will be shredded.  I am trying to get inside work finished today so I can cut grass tomorrow.  I can’t believe it needs mowing again that fast.  Today I also did my laundry. 
 

Today is Monday.  I spent a good part of Friday cutting grass until the mower ran out of gas.  Since whoever bought the gas tightened the lid so tight I couldn’t open the container to fill the mower.  So the rest will have to wait until Saturday.  I actually finished all of my front grass.  Kevin filled the mower for me on Saturday so I continued my grass cutting.  Since I got such a late start I finished most of his front yard.  I will do the rest tomorrow.
 

Sunday I decided would be a day of rest.  After church I stopped at WalMart.  I spent the rest of the day relaxing and reading.  I did talk to Mom, Jana and Brian on the phone.  Stephanie come over to visit with Lola and Roscoe.  Kevin even stopped in for a few minutes.  This past weekend was the 2011 CRAP.  Jim and Mom were both there.  In fact, it was after this that Jim started his decline.  I sure do miss him.
 

This morning I finished cutting Kevin’s grass.  I also bought a couple of new plants.  One was an Impatiens for the Sun.  That is what had died on me.  I bought a new pot for it and I am trying again.  I also bought some marigolds that I am going to plant in a different pot with new dirt.  I will do that this afternoon.
 

Going to be a hot week.  Not sure what all is on my agenda.  Later.
