No Rest

The tree is down.  Kevin and Gio worked on it for two days.  They were able to use some of the tree for firewood.  Kevin took some for his fire pit and Gio took some for his fireplace.  The rest will be burned to kill the termites.  I also had a guy come out this week and grind the stump.  Now I have a big hole in my front yard.  It will probably take most of the summer to get my yard back in shape.

 

This is the pecan tree that was taken down.

So sad.  It was a big and beautiful tree.

 

I have finished weeding my front “rock” gardens.  I have done my taxes.  Now I am working on the business taxes. 

 

I finally finished taking down my Christmas decorations and packed them away.  They are stored in Kevin’s attic.

 

Saturday Renea, Stephanie and I went shopping.  We went to the Benning Bazaar on Fort Benning.  It was a lot of fun.  We plan on getting a booth there next year since they do this every March.  The money they make renting the booths goes toward scholarships.  They also ask for a donation to enter and they sell raffle tickets.  The one thing we noticed was most of the booths were jewelry.  From there we had lunch and then went to WalMart.  What can I say – always need to stop at WalMart. 

 

 I don’t think I mentioned that Kevin and Family and Brian and Family gave me an iPod for Christmas.  I have been putting music on it and it works great.  I’m really enjoying it.

 

I think the birds are glad I am back.  They sure are eating a lot of birdseed.  Since we didn’t sell the ones I made I bought them and have been setting them out.  The birds are enjoying them also.  I have some birds nesting in the purple martin house, but I think it is bluebirds and not purple martins.  Not sure what to do about that.  I hate to just toss out the bluebirds. 

 

Today is going to be another busy day, so I guess I better get started.  Later, y’all!
