Mostly Flowers

Monday was a really busy day.  Not only did I do all of my laundry, but I planted most of my flowers. 

These are Asiatic Lilies in containers:

These are Dahlias and ivy in another container:

They all look so pretty.  I am gradually getting my front yard in shape.

 

In between all of this I am doing my 24 hour urine collection.  Now this is a project.  It is another test they want to run to see if my kidneys are affecting my blood pressure.

 

At the end of the day I watched Dancing With The Stars.  Wasn’t surprised at who got cut.  There are two more who I think should go next.  The judges seem to be a lot tougher this season, or the dancing is not as good.  Not sure which it is.  I will keep watching though.  Haven’t picked a favorite yet.

 

Tuesday was another busy day.  I went to the lab to turn in my urine.  Then I went to Barnes and Nobles to return a book.  Sorry to say that the last time I was there I bought a book I already had.  Of course, I couldn’t leave without buying a few more books – eight in fact.  I filled in a few books on a series I have started reading and bought a couple of books by new authors I am going to try.  When I left B & N I went to Walmart to pick up a few items.  I went to the new one, which on carries groceries and has a pharmacy.  It was nice and clean, not crowded, but laid out different than others I have been inside.  Took me a while to find everything.

After I put everything away when I arrived home, I decided to plant the rest of my flowers.  These are called African Marigolds – I guess because they are so big.  They are perfect for the area where I planted them.  I also hooked up my new hose and cleaned the birdbath.

As you can see, both areas need more rocks.  After I finish weeding the area in front of my deck I will be getting a load of rocks.
 

By this time I was worn out.  I had planned to get some work done on the computer, but everything in the area was down.  The phones weren’t working nor was the internet.  I checked with my neighbors and their phones, etc. were not working either.  So I read a little, watched the news and went to bed.

 

Wednesday is not a busy day so far.  The internet is back up and running fine so far.  I got some computer work done.  I filled the bird feeders and walked up to get my mail.  Not sure what I will be doing now.  Maybe lay down for a while.  I am having a bad day.

 

Had a lazy afternoon.  However, Wednesday evening I took another online genealogy class.  I really enjoyed this one.  The teacher was great and I learned a lot. 

 

Tomorrow and Friday we are supposed to have severe storms.  Hope we end up in the donut hole!
