If I Ever Get Caught Up.......

Another beautiful day, my blood pressure was “almost” in the normal range, so I decided it was time to go to the grocery.  I was running out of staples. Of course, I also stopped at Books A Million.  Bought two books.  Renea and I were going to go shopping but she is having a bad day.  We are going tomorrow instead.  Plans are to go to Lowe’s and have lunch out.  Not sure where yet. 

Yep, another beautiful day.  Renea and I headed out about 10:15 this morning.  First stop was Lowe’s.  Bought a lot of “stuff” but no flowers.  Still too early.  We did look around and found a few we liked, but we resisted.  We then headed to Hobby Lobby.  And, surprise, surprise, surprise, we didn’t buy ANYTHING in Hobby Lobby.  That had to be a first!  Next we went to Zaxby’s for lunch.  Drove to Ladonia to pick up Kevin’s dry cleaning.  Stopped at Dollar General – didn’t buy anything there either.  Now we are both home and resting.  Sure is tough doing all this shopping J

After resting J I strung together more soft drink cans for Kevin to tie around the trees.  These are to keep the deer away.  Of course, if he doesn’t come get them and put them around the trees they won’t keep the deer away.  They are sitting in my front yard.

Today was an exciting fun filled day.  I did four loads of laundry, filled the bird feeders, dusted, took out the trash, picked up the mail, balanced my checkbook and paid a couple of bills.  Don’t y’all wish you could have a day like this.  Also made a few phone calls and checked my email.  WOW!  Can’t wait to see what the rest of the day will be like.  Didn’t do much else except pulled a few weeds.

Kevin is home today and he sure is busy.  He cut down the maple tree in my yard.  It was full of bugs and never did look really healthy.  When he dug up the roots they were still in the ball like they were when it was planted.  The contractor that cleared our land had planted three of these maple trees.  The other two died right away.  This one was trying to survive, but just didn’t make it.  Kevin also cut down the peach tree that was next to my concrete pad next to my house.  We would get a few peaches every year but they weren’t good enough to eat.  The past couple of years Kevin sprayed it and trimmed it trying to get it to improve, but no luck.  So, we decided we would just cut it down. 

For my birthday last year both Kevin and Brian’s family gave me another purple martin house.  This one is the gourds.  This morning Kevin cemented the pole in the ground so we can hang the house(s).  We decided to put it in the area where the two trees were that he cut down this morning.  He is a busy guy today. 

He has just finished tilling another spot in the backyard for his garden.  Now he is tilling LaNora’s garden.  I’m getting tired just watching him.

As for me, I have folded a load of laundry that I forgot was in the dryer, did my dishes, emptied the trash, took the mail to the mailbox, talked to LaNora who was outside raking leaves, talked to Jana on the phone, visited with Kevin when he stopped over, and checked out where he took down the two trees and cemented the pole in the ground for the gourd birdhouse.  I also replaced the light bulbs in my kitchen ceiling fixture.

I had planned to work on my curtains after lunch.  However, Kevin got my riding mower working so I thought I better get some yard work accomplished.  I picked up the twigs/branches in the “circle” area and then mowed the grass.at  It actually felt good to get outside.  I am taking a break now.  Don’t know if I will do any more outside today. 

That’s it!  I’m done for today.  Back at y’all tomorrow.

 Good Morning.  Today is cloudy and supposed to rain.  Therefore, I will probably not do any work outside.  In fact, I am working on my curtains.  Penny my girl is not happy with me.  I had to put frontline on her today.  For some reason she fights me every month.  She does not like it.  I know it doesn’t hurt, so I am not sure what her problem is. 

She didn’t wake me this morning.  In fact, I slept until 9:00.  I can’t remember the last time that happened.  I think she was so busy watching Kevin put up the gourd birdhouse that she forgot about me.  I even saw a couple of birds checking out the new birdhouse.

The curtains are finished!  Yea!!!!!
