Finished Several Projects

 

Good Morning.  I’ve been out mowing grass.  Finished two more sections.  Have one more to go.  Plan on doing that one after lunch.  Shouldn’t take too long.  While I have been mowing grass I washed and dried the material I bought for several Christmas projects.  I need to iron them, cut them and make the projects. Busy! Busy! Busy!

YEA!!!!! The grass has been mowed.  I am finished.  Renea mowed her front yard.  Of course, it is going to take us forever to get the yards looking decent because of the grass clippings all over. Time for a siesta!

ANOTHER BIG YEA!!!!! I finished pulling the weeds!  I also want to mention that Azalea #1 is blooming and Azalea #2 has buds.  Really concerned about Azalea #3.  It does not look good.  I will have to baby it along and hope for the best.  I may transplant it just not sure where.  Tomorrow is another day.

Bright and early Friday morning Renea and I went to SAM’S.  We, or I should say Renea, really loaded up my car.  It’s a good thing I didn’t buy much other than paper products because I think she bought one of everything in the store J After shopping we were going to go to Chill, but they didn’t open for over an hour.  So instead, Renea said she thought she knew where there was a DQ.  We went searching and found it.  Only turned the wrong way once.  For lunch we each had a waffle cone blizzard.  Sure was good!!!!! Now we are both home putting away our purchases. (neither of us had lunch – the waffle cone was it)

Groceries are put away.  Cleaned out one cupboard and freezer.  Did dishes.  Cleaned out another cupboard. Put a few more items in the box for the yard sale. Took a break.  Took some Tylenol, went to bed early, the fibromyalgia was hurting big time.

Today is going to be an inside kind of day.  It is hot, muggy and supposed to rain.  Have already had a shower or two.  So far, I have made my bed, done a load of wash and emptied the trash.  The trash is out of the house and sitting on my deck waiting for me to take it up to the trash can.  I also cleaned out another cupboard.

Kevin came over about an hour ago and we walked the back forty deciding where to put the fence for when Smoky comes to visit.  Kevin also put fire ant granules on a couple of ant hills.  We then checked out the pecan trees and it looks like we are going to have a good crop of pecans.  From there we walked down to the woods to see about some magnolia trees.  He and I both want to transplant a couple of them to our front yards. I need to do some research on them.  I would also like to bring up a couple of mimosa trees.  Have to do some research on those also.  We have a couple of really huge trees with some type of large round “nut” that we don’t know what they are.  We have not been able to break them open no matter what we do.  So, I plan to research them also.

This afternoon Renea is going to a funeral of one of her patients from when she worked at the clinic on Ft. Benning.  They had remained really good friends.  Kevin is having a man day and will be going to the Braves game in Atlanta with a group of guys that he works with.  Looks like Miss Penny and me are on our own.

Dishes are done.  Hummingbird feeders are filled. Researched transplanting Mimosa Trees and printed information.   Researched transplanting Magnolia Trees and printed information. Now it is about lunch time.  I even crawled around on the floor to find Miss Penny’s puff balls that she hides.  She also likes large paper bags.  I have to be careful because she goes into them and just part of her tail sticks out.  She also thinks it is fun to pull on my window shades in the living room and make them go to the top and spin around.  She thinks that’s a game I guess.  Anyway, she did it during the night and woke me up.  Scared me until I realized what it was.  When I got up she was laying on the floor looking at me like “I didn’t do it.”

Took the trash up to the can and picked up the mail.  Now it is looking like rain, and I heard a few rumbles of thunder.  Just made three round yarn ornaments.  Watched the Xfinity race.  Ate supper.  Watched the news. Have had a couple of really heavy rain storms.

After church this morning I stopped at WalMart and Dollar General.  Picked up a few items in both places.  When I arrived home Kevin had taken down the ramp off my deck.  He said the wood was filled with carpenter bees, wasps and ants.  He did a lot of spraying.  Anyway, the ramp is gone, railing has been installed, and he planted the hydrangea bush.  Sure looks different.  Now it is a matter of staining and painting.  Still have to do some cleanup work.  In fact, a lot of cleanup.  I will post more pictures as we go.
