Full day for the start of the week. Threw a load of laundry in first thing, then after breakfast I stopped at Hepler’s Hardware on the way to my chiropractor appointment – I was out of weed-whacker string. I promised Claudia I would take the clean/pressed linens to Hanna’s Town so she could sort them out, then got gas in the Ford before my final stop – Giant Eagle to pick up a prescription.
My morning visitor – at least it wasn’t a skunk!
After lunch I put up three hooks (that I got at Heplers) so I could hang up my garden clothes in the garage. They don’t match and they aren’t cute but they are perfect for the job!
Since I got my melting chocolate in Smicksburg on Saturday I decided to do a few chocolate covered cookies. Believe it or not, I had finished up everything that I had made the last few months except for the dark chocolate covered mint Oreos – they are still in the freezer. I gave some away at Easter.
By then it was time to go outside. I changed clothes (see above!) and went down to the shed. I pulled weeds and dug out clumps around all four sides.
Far side of the shed – all cleaned up but now I need fresh mulch.

Then I cleaned out among the stones around the Crooks lilac – the one Allen and Bonnie gave Kathy and me when Mom passed away.

I’m still struggling with the stump where the cherry tree was – it’s almost ready for a top soil dump and grass seed. But it was full of weeds that I couldn’t get close enough to mow so it was a mess. All cleaned up!
It almost looks like a crater on the moon…
I have a movie on in the background (THE REAL WEST) while I type. I’m almost done with book 5 in my 6-book series. Book six will be out on the April 20th.
TODAY I am thankful for time to think and ponder things!
