Back At It

ONWARD! has been on hold for almost a week now.  I have been busy getting ready to go to Ohio for Samantha’s wedding.  So, as of now I need to get back to my goal.

Sunday was a day of travelling.  We didn’t get home until after six o’clock.  By the time we

unloaded the car, had a little supper, it was time for bed.  We were all really exhausted.  It rained all the way home until we crossed the Georgia/Alabama border.  When I say it rained it rained!  You could hardly see to drive.  However, our driver did a great job and got us home safely.

Monday I had a day of recuperation.  I picked Penny up from Companion.  Put a few things away.  Took a nap.  Watched DWTS.  Then went to bed.  I was really tired from the trip. 

Today is Tuesday and I am back to working on my goal.  I worked outside for about 45 minutes.  I have maybe two more days left in the area in front of my deck.  Then it will be time to touch up the areas where I started.  Of course, I still have the area around the birdbath.  I also have the two azaleas in my front yard.  However, I think they are dead. 

I paid a few bills.  Walked up to the mailbox and emptied some trash.  Went through my mail.  I did some laundry.  I will finish that tomorrow.  I added information on my blog about Samantha and Brandon’s wedding.  They are such a neat couple and so happy.  One of the reasons they married now was because the Navy said this weekend or we don’t know when.  He will be going out on “float” soon and not sure when he will be back.  Samantha will be staying with Brian and Tracy so she can finish school.  I also added Brandon to our family tree.

After supper I relaxed and watched DWTS.  I was not surprised at who went home. 

Good Morning!  I worked outside for about 45 minutes again.  I found the azalea bush in all the weeds today and cleaned it out.  However, I think it is dead.  With some luck, I should finish the area in front of the deck tomorrow.

Next was morning chores.  I actually feel like I am accomplishing something again.  After supper I did some reading.  I am reading Bill O’Reilly’s book, KILLING THE RISING SUN.  I am actually learning some things.  The only television I watched was the news so I could see the weather.  Still no rain in sight.  We are in a severe drought here.  I could have told them that. 

Kevin and Renea came over to visit for while this evening.  She is not having a good week.

Now it is good night time.

Back at it again.  Just spent an hour outside.  I did not get finished.  I should hope tomorrow will be the last of the area in front of the deck.  After tweaking the areas already weeded, I will spray some roundup where I can, cut back the iris, fill in the holes and hopefully be finished with that area for a while. 

Morning chores are finished.  Did some paperwork.  Decided this would be a good day to make my Christmas pillow covers.  I made two.  They are both the same, but here is a picture of one.  You can just barely see the edge of the other one sitting next to it.  I don’t think I did too bad for my first try.
