I got a few things done this morning before I left for Washington. I met Kelly at Red Robin at 11am. I’ve only eaten there once, I think, and it was years ago. I didn’t remember it being so good. I had fish and chips. I never got around to fish during lent so that was a good choice. Kelly and I had a nice visit together before she headed back to her afternoon obligations and I headed home.
My afternoon chores were garden tasks. I started by pulling all the weeds under the back deck and steps. That’s tricky since you have to lay on your stomach to reach most of them. But once I got started it was fine. I also straightened the stones around the flower bed.
Then I started on the fire pit, and from there I moved to the top of the hill. Just along the yard and the lilacs. I’m fussy about keeping the stones straight and hadn’t fixed them yet this year. I pulled weeds about a foot down from the stones. The rest will wait until I’m ready to do the entire hill. When, I wonder, will THAT be? All in all I was outside about 3 plus hours.
Diane txt me to remind me of the temperature dropping tonight. So I carried my two flats of ground cover and my one flat of purple alyssum inside the garage, as well as the two potted azaleas. I don’t want to plant all that until I get the weeds under control on the hill, both sides.
It’s been so messy working outside that every time I come in I have to totally wash my yard clothes again. They are in the dryer now. I have leftover fish from lunch that I plan to have for supper, and then some ironing to do from early this morning. I already got things set out for tomorrow. And a list made – everyone wants something from Donna’s store!
SCRIPTURE of the DAY:
PEANUTS?
TOMORROW May 10th is:
Archery Day; Brunch for Lunch Day; Dog Mom Day; Mother Ocean Day; National Babysitter Day; National Clean Your Room Day; National Golf Day; National Shrimp Day; National Small Business Day; National Train Day; National Windmill Day; One Day Without Shoes; Stay up all Night Day; World Belly Dance Day; World Migratory Bird Day.
I know a LOT of dog moms! My room is always clean and I never play golf – except maybe miniature when the grandkids are around. My friend Mary’s family LOVES trains. I like the no shoes concept but only at home. If I stayed up all night (which I couldn’t) I would sleep all the next day. And I don’t think my baby robins are ready to go anywhere yet. God bless!
