I’ve been crossing off things on my “to do” list. Yup, can’t let any more pile up or I’ll run away…far far away. I don’t know, pretty long list and it’d involve a lot of running to get clear of it. So, the list it was! Yesterday I crawled into my Mums tub and stripped out all of the old caulking. I installed a 3 pce. wall unit about 8 years ago and some of the lower caulking looked unsightly, too. Halfway thru that the fog lifted enough for the lawns to dry so off I went to mow. Mowed a big one and then mowed Mums, plus all of the weed whacking. Spied some huge carpenter ants making a line to under the shed, they try every year, and so I went into ‘psycho kill it all with raid mode’ and spray bombed them with the entire contents of one can. No ants today! Finished the bathroom job and it passed inspector Mom with these rewarding words, “Why that’s right respectable looking”! :lol:

Got around early this morning and devoted hours to my garden. Been waiting till I thought it was safe to transplant all of the young plants I’ve nurtured from my greenhouse to the garden. My guy always tills with the big tiller early spring and today I had to get out my mini tiller and go over everything again. I spent a couple of hours sifting thru the soil and picking out any churned up weeds I could find. I planted an extra double row of peas for an extra munch or two later on this fall after the others are done.. Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, cukes, pak choi, cauliflower, and brocolli are settling in nicely. Tomorrow I’ll plant my spinach, green beans and I have some type of chinese radish I thought looked interesting to plant. I like to decorated and mark rows with rocks I paint so I’ll throw a pic on here so you can see my little piece of heaven. If I could live someplace where I could garden year round I’d never be seen shopping in the produce section again!!! I always try to choose locally grown produce first. :) Fresh is best!

Had a great nap this afternoon and finished up around the yard. No running tonight. I thought I’d have a whirl at it in the morning. LOLOL I plead gardeners knee!

Now I’m off to the back yard. My guy has a fire a blazing in the fire pit and it calls to me…oh wait…wrong…that’d be ‘his highness’ a calling out to me!

chow for now!
