A Little of This and A Little of That

Good Morning!  It is Sunday, and it is another sunny, hot, beautiful day in Alabama.  Today is my day of rest.  I don’t plan on doing much of anything.  I have been invited to Kevin and Renea’s for supper, and plan to go.  Other than that I will probably read, do some dot-to-dots and watch the race.  Yea for me.  And, that is exactly what I did.  By the way – supper was delicious!

Yesterday I finally put all the books away that I bought in Ohio.  I dusted and ran the sweeper.  Also went to Mass, and stopped at Zaxby’s for supper.  I bought a to-go meal.  It sure tasted good.  Watched the race, and called it a day.

Looks like this week is going to be busy.  I was up bright and early (what else is new with Penny?), and after breakfast I went outside and started cleaning the flower areas.  This morning I weeded all the containers.  I lost some flowers, but they were annuals so I expected that.  Everything else looks pretty good.  Even the Franklin trees look like they may make it.  I am hoping that since I weeded the containers that the dirt will drain and dry.  Some of them were pretty wet.

I also filled my new birdfeeders.  Jana gave me new birdfeeders for my birthday.  I know it isn’t my birthday yet.  She gave them to me early.  It will be interesting to see how long it will take for the birds to start coming again.

This afternoon I started several of my Christmas projects.  Needless to say, I am running behind.  I think I have figured out a schedule that will get me caught up. 

After supper I set the chairs and tables back up on the deck.  Kevin and Renea had secured them because of the storm that came through.  After checking them I decided they all have to go.  I will get new ones later.  However, I can keep my swing.  I also watched DWTS.  They have a good group this season.  I do think the right contestant went home. It will be interesting to see who goes Tuesday night.  It was obvious that the judges have already picked their favorites.

Good Morning.  Another bright, sunny and hot “summer” day in the fall in Alabama.  I went out early this morning to work on the azalea garden.  I was able to clean the weeds out of two of the azalea bushes.  I am a little over half finished.  They look okay.  I’m not sure I can feed them this late in the year, but I wish I could. 

Next on the agenda was a quick trip to Barnes & Nobel.  Then I stopped to vote.  Today is the run off election for the person to replace Jeff Sessions here in Alabama.

Kevin came over this afternoon and put a new battery in my wall clock.  I cannot reach the clock that is on the wall in the living room.  I had him set the time for this winter when we fall back an hour.  I can live with that. He then visited with me for a while.  We talked about a lot of things we would like to do to our yard and houses.  After supper he and Renea came and got me so we could watch the ISS fly over. It was a clear night and it was easy to see.  Amazing to think there are people basically living up there.  After that I watched some television.  Went to bed before DWTS was over.  I will check in the morning to see who was cut.
