I'm tired just reading your post Patti!

It was a beautiful day here yesterday too. Temps were around 90º and we had a slight breeze. Jammer and I went to a graduation party honoring his niece. It was a luau and we all dressed accordingly. The food, cooked by Jammer's brother, was awesome! The kids all had a ball and we adults did too. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Windy, sunny here. I'm worthless, today. Dressed, dinner for lunch per usual, and headed to clubhouse in a bit for association meeting.

It's sunny today, breezing and slightly warm. The breeze is a little cool, though. I went and got some manure for the garden and three tomato plants. I've got to run out and get some index cards for Alex (he knew we were going shopping yesterday and took his shoes he didn't like back today but couldn't say anything till we got home today!) He needs them for his final in French this week.

Then I'm coming home and planting my garden. I'm going to plant the tomatoes, some squash, morning glories, okra and watermelon. that's it for now.

There's so much work that needs to be done outside, it's overwhelming but I'm going to do a little each day.

I'm still working on cleaning out closets! But, every time I get one cleaned out the Garage gets full. I can't win. LOL!

I've got an old credenza in the garage that I keep some craft items in. I can hardly get to it. When I finally did, I found I couldn't open the top drawer. Main Man put some boxes on top of it and the weight has bent the top so the drawers want open.

Do Men ever put anything up in it's place!

I just love productive days like that, Patti. Sounds like you did a lot!

We washed all 4 dogs yesterday, then brushed them out. Whew, what a job. 2 are collies and have tons of fur.

Today I'm fighting off a headache so I'm paying bills online, listing on Etsy, taking photos, etc. Simple little things that won't task my sore head.

Patti, I dreamt about you last night, you were having your get-together and there were a slew of peeps there and it ended up downtown in front of little shops and you were having a blast. lol Strangers were coming up and talking to me and I was pretending I knew who they were. It was crazy fun.

Well today I didn't get much done that I wanted to do, but a lot that needed to get done. DH has gone into full-out mode in finishing my bathroom, and we are so very close, but that means I have to be on call as gopher, for "here, hold this" or "sweep up this so I don't track it all over the house" or "go get this from the truck", or "put this screw in because you can bend over and I can't"...you get the picture. I have tomato and pepper plants that NEED to be in the ground! I have veg and flower beds which NEED to be weeded! There are impatiens on the front porch which NEED to be planted!

I work tomorrow and Tuesday, and it's supposed to rain off and on through the rest of the week, which will mean the ground will be too wet to sit on, which is how I do most of my groundskeeping. I guess we'll survive, but AARRGGHH@!

I woke up to a BROKEN dryer, with wet clothes in the dryer, a wet load on top of it and another in the wash...so my first stop was to the laundromat...and on a Sunday of all things! Things could ONLY get better after that!

We took in our little art show around the courthouse today...it was a blast seeing everyone's beautiful work! (and every resturant in town sets up a booth so we got cheap eats too!)

Well, I got my garden planted. My whole body hurts, even after a hot shower. I mulched it pretty good but need another bag still, but it will have to wait till I'm off again. I planted all the stuff I posted above plus some canteloupe and marigolds I bought this afternoon.

I had to pull a bunch of weeds even though I had black plastic over the garden area, they were growing up on the sides of it. Lot of potato bugs and ants, I hope they don't eat my seeds. I poured boiling water on the ants, but it didn't kill them all.

Patti, it sounds like you got a lot accomplished. Did you sleep well? I had a busy day yesterday too, and I had a restless night. I'm going to take some Tylenol pm tonight.

I removed everything from the screened in back porch and power washed the porch, the birdbath and all outdoor furniture. Then I painted a total of 8 outdoor chairs and one table. I put them back on the porch late yesterday evening. I have some 16" X 16" blocks that I made into a small patio for a sitting area, but I changed my mind about where I want them, so tomorrow I have to do it over. I spread more mulch today, moved a container that has some plants in it. I also planted a fake tree. :)
I took some pictures of everything, but I'm too tired tonight to fool with them. I'll post some before and after pictures of some of it and just some after pictures of others tomorrow.
