Just a Quick Update

In less than a week we have had 6 ½ inches of rain.  The trees and grass have loved it.  Of course, that means Kevin has been busy cutting and trimming the grass.  Some of my bushes such as the lantanas loved the rain also.  They are getting big and beautiful.  However, a few of my potted flowers almost drowned.  I am babying them and, hopefully, they will be okay.  The rain has been good for my hydrangeas also.  I am amazed at how great they look.  I thought I had my weeding caught up, but now since the rain I’m back at it again.
 

I’m back.  We had some more rain, but the past couple of days have been sunny.  Kevin and Renea cut the grass again.  I go to the doctor next Tuesday and after that I should be able to cut the grass again.  I’m feeling fine and doing more work every day.

 

As for my potted plants, I transplanted six of them using dry potting soil.  I was afraid they would get root rot and die.  They are looking better.  I hope I got them in time.

 

I’m having computer problems so I’m not able to do much on the computer/internet right now.  Brian is going to work on it when I come to Ohio.  It’s a real PIA not to be able to do what I want on the computer when I want. 

 

My desk is set up at my back window so I can see the back yard.  This morning I am sitting here watching the purple martins flying in and out of the purple martin house.  I think every nesting spot has been taken.  They sure are busy this morning.  I can also see my weeping willow tree from the back window, and it is looking really good.  My weeping cherry tree is in the front yard and is also looking good.  In fact, everything planted in the ground is looking great!

 

The hummingbirds are enjoying my new feeders.  I am now using clear food for them instead of the red and they seem to like it just as well.  I guess since they knew where the feeders were they didn’t miss a day. 

 

I’ve always wanted a mimosa tree.  I had one once in our front yard on Boomer Road.  However, Jim thought it had died and cut it down.  Well, I have one now.  It is in the woods behind my house and I can see it from my back window.  Yea!

 

Next Saturday Renea and I are going to the Lee County Flea Market again and try our luck.  We both have flea market stuff and plan to take a few of our crafts.  Renea and I have added crafts to the BKM Wood Products LLC company.  So, this week we will be busy getting our stuff together to sell.

 

Don’t know when I will post anything again.  I’m glad I was able to post this.
