Kevin and Renea went to El Paso, TX, to visit Rick and Beth
for a week. So, I spent the week dog
sitting Roscoe and Lola. Not a tough
job. I would spend the night at Kevin
and Renea’s house, feed the dogs in the morning then put them outside. After supper I would go over and feed the
dogs their supper then spend the evening.
Of course, I went over several times a day to check on them and give
them a treat. Needless to say, they were
always glad to see me.
We had a real mix of weather last week. A couple of really nice days, a couple of
really cold days and several days of a lot of rain. We even had frost two mornings. On the cold and/or rainy days the dogs spent
most of their time in the house. Not
sure how much rain we had because my rain gauge has a crack. Need to get a new one. The television station said we had over three
inches, and I believe it.
I did get a little more yard work done. I finished cutting my front grass, started
weeding the other rock garden (it’s about 40% finished), and cut back all the
lantanas. I also weeded one of the
azaleas. I hoping to finish weeding the
rock garden this week and feed my plants that need feeding. I also have a lot of weedeating to do. And…..it’s time to check the weeds around the
birdfeeder, the other rock garden and all the trees. It has been raining the past couple of
days. However, that should be over by
now.
It’s almost a full time job keeping the birdfeeders
filled. In the morning and evening I
have about a dozen male cardinals coming to the feeders. I should also include the females, but they
just don’t stand out as much.
Finished up a few things on the inside also including my
taxes. Now I just need to get them in
the mail. I’m procrastinating because I
owe.
Kevin and Renea arrived home on Sunday.

Is there a reason you can't use something like Round Up on the weeds in the rocks? They use something on our bull rock and we don't have weeds. There is nothing planted in the rocks.
Mail your taxes 4/15. I am still waiting for one K-1. Last year I filed before it came and had to do an Amended return. We pay quarterly estimated taxes and so far so good. I usually have about $1300 to carry forward. Ted turns 70.5 next year so we get hit with the RMD from his IRA whether we want it or need it. Major tax implication!
You have been very busy since you returned home. Just had a chance to catch up on your blog. Glad to hear that Opal is feeling better. Take care.
LOve, Arlene and Bob
