I Had Company

Tom and Bertus came to visit last week.  It was awesome to spend time with them again.  I’ve missed them both.  Since I’m still not allowed to do much we spent a lot of time talking and having some wine.  On Tuesday we drove to Opelika and had lunch at Arby’s then went shopping at Lowe’s.  We bought several plants (as if I needed any more).  I just couldn’t resist.  They headed for home on Wednesday and arrived safely on Thursday. 
 

Wednesday I got a few things caught up around here since I haven’t been doing much.  I am doing a little bit of yard work such as pulling weeds, feeding the birds, watering the trees and filling the birdbath.  Sounds really exciting doesn’t it?  The rest of the week I spent repotting my new plants and placing them where I want them.  I did some weeding around the birdbath and the one side of my deck.  I still have a lot of weeding to do on the other side.  I can only work out there in the evening because I have sun in front until about 4:00. 
 

Kevin and Renea went camping this past weekend.  Stephanie had some friends stay with her. She was home because she had to work.  I watched a lot of television this weekend.  I’ve even started watching NASCAR races.  I did really good until Sunday.  I spent that day have a personal pity party.  I watched the Indy 500 and the NASCAR race.  I had several good cries. Jana and Brian both called me and that cheered me up.  Monday morning I had a long talk with myself and I am doing much better now. 
 

It looks like it is now summer in Alabama.  HOT!  IN THE 90’S!  And no rain in the forecast.  So, I am still watering my plants and my trees.

Can you use Preen in your rocks for the weeds? It is advertised for use among plants. Just a thought.

Sometimes we all need a personal pity party...I'm kind of there today. Went to the dog show this past weekend and now I want another dog soooo bad. We are taking care of our son's dog who doesn't get along well with others, so I can't bring a puppy into the mix right now. So, I'm feeling down and a bit resentful that I have to take care of my son's dog.
Glad you are feeling better now. That talk with Marilyn must have helped! ;-)
