Yea, I know

Yea, I know.  I haven’t posted anything for about a month.  Well, I have been busy.  I could go into detail about all of the things I have done – or not.  I chose not to do so.  I will give a short overview and then continue on.

Kevin and I did quite a bit of shopping to get all of the items needed to get Jana’s camper set up on the spot.  Everything has been done and it is ready for her to move in.  She will be staying for approximately three months.  Of course, Mattie will be with her.

I probably mentioned that all of the weeding in front of my house has been finished.  The area looks really good.  The azalea bush that I thought was dead has actually survived.  It is looking good and blooming.  In fact, all three are blooming.  The rest of the bushes and plants that were hidden because of the grass and weeds are looking good.  I planted the three Franklin trees in containers and they are looking good.  I will probably leave them in the containers through next year.  The rose-of-sharon bush in front of the deck looks good.  The other four look like they have survived but don’t look as healthy.  The forsythia bushes look fair. 

I have also finished weeding the area around the birdbath.  Still have to spray the area with roundup, but it looks better than it did.  You can even see the St. Francis statue now.  Kevin cleaned up the Bradford Pear tree that I lost due to the winds of Nate.  The front yard sure looks different without that tree.  The family gave me money for my birthday so I can buy replacement trees since I lost not only the Bradford Pear but the three Tulip Poplar trees.  I lost them due to the drought last year.

The new birdfeeders have been hung.  The birds like the two new ones that Jana gave me for my birthday.  But they sure don’t like the two finch feeders that I bought so I brought out the old ones and they are now eating the finch seed.

I ordered a few Christmas presents, and they have been received.  All presents are now wrapped and stored in a corner of the living room. 

I finished several Christmas presents.  I cannot post pictures because the recipients might read the blog.

That’s it for this blog.  Now, hopefully, I will post more often and keep this up-to-date.
