Odds and Ends

Today is odds and ends day, i.e. finding Penny’s toys that she hides, a few loads of laundry, etc. I think Penny is happy that I found her toys because she is busy running around playing with them.  Of course, throughout the day she will hide them, and we will have to go searching again.  She is lucky I know most of her hiding places.

I have finished a couple more of the plastic canvas Christmas ornaments also.  I found a few patterns to crochet some ornaments.  That should be interesting, but I am going to give it a try.  I will also be taking a few more pictures of my deck since Kevin did some cleanup.  I figure it will take the rest of the summer to get my front yard back in shape. 

I waited until the shade reached the area in front of my deck and pulled some weeds.  However, it was still so hot I only lasted about a half hour.  I did get another azalea bush uncovered.  Hopefully, I will get the third one uncovered tomorrow night. I actually filled two large garbage bags and one small one. 

I spent this morning (Tuesday) at church with Teresa helping with registration for the folks doing home schooling.  It was an interesting morning.  We have about ten families signed up so far, but we are expecting many more. 

I had noticed Penny spending her time laying on the shelf between the old and new room.  She was watching something very intently, but I really didn’t pay any attention.  After supper Kevin and Renea came over and Kevin noticed ANTS! crawling all over the shelf, floor and wall.  This is what she was watching.  We decided this happened because of Kevin and Ricky moving the dirt when they built my steps.  So, Kevin went outside and sprayed the dirt and around the house and door.  He also spread the ant crystals.  Renea and I went on an ant killing spree in the house.  I couldn’t spray in the house because of Penny.  By bedtime I wasn’t seeing any more ants, and so far this morning I haven’t noticed any.  I sure hope they are gone!  Penny isn’t spending all her time on the shelf now.  She is back to watching the birds. I hope that’s a good sign.

Wednesday was doctor day.  I had my pulmonary/lung function test.  It lasted an hour and a half, and I was worn out when it was over.  Came home and took a nap.  Don’t know the results yet.  Next week I have blood work done and then the next week I go to my primary care doctor to get all the results.  Hope they are good.
