WOW I got exhausted just reading what you all accomplished today:seeingstars:

I know right? My back hurts, I have a sun burn, and I am exhausted. My mom is happy so it was worth it.

my helper Jared put together my grand daughter's plastic play house for the back yard. I put weed killer on all the Sticky Willie and poison ivy thats all over the place. We went looking for a screen door but found none that would work. And then we designed the new flower beds and put together a hollyhock/delphinium garden bed

And you had the energy to go food shopping after..? I`m impressed, you must be in great shape !

Accomplished
 

I fixed the big mower and now it runs as well as it did when it was brand new approximately 10 years ago.

I just mowed 4 acres and now I need to trim around the house.

Bonus, I remembered to wear sun block. Yay!

:cowboy:

lawd...I am tired.

I went to four garage sales. Bought a wooden screen door and had my young helper put it up today. Also bought a doggie gate, some clothes for the grand children, and some toys.

Went to Dollar Store, bought small pool and swim ring and get it set up for said grand child

Repotted brussel sprouts and tomatoes.

Planted 15 more peppers, 8 more punkins and a Roma tomato plant whose seed actually came from Rome Italy

pulled out many more large pots for more container gardening. Washed and started filling them with potting soil..ran out. Gotta go buy more soon

painted mine and my grand daughter's nails. LOL. Its so fun to have a little femme of a grand daughter!

I sort of got up late today, after finally falling asleep last night after 3am..... So, so far today, I've added fresh vegetables to my soup that is simmering on the stove. I added more fresh string green beans, shitake mushrooms, cloves of garlic and more organic veggie broth. I'm nursing a soup diet, for awhile. It's fairly delicious and filling, so I'll stick with it, for awhile....

I just took a nice long hot shower.

Mani and Pedi is next, while I listen to a song Playlist of hits by The Grateful Dead.

After awhile, I plan to catch up on a few small household chores.

Then have soup for supper, then snuggle up with my pillows in bed and read one of the books I've been trying to read.

I did all that was on my "to do" list!

washed dirty Laundry
organized my dresser drawers
folded and put up clothes
cleaned up the bathroom and threw away old stuff

All those cloves of garlic! Are you experiencing a problem with vampires?

They're tiny tiny cloves, I just love Garlic.....
and well, mmmmmm, there might be a vampire around, but if so, I wanna be sure my blood is ....mmmmm.....tasty.

Took some pallets apart, removed nails, stacked boards to put in storage room - these are super nice boards, won't require much sanding, threw left overs on wood bones pile to be hauled away

Built a little cover for the dogs' water bowls so the water will stay cooler longer - lots of ice cubes help. I see the bowl gets empty quicker now and have to refill more often. I don't blame them for not liking the warm water when they are playing, running and wrestling so hard.

Mowed lawn in 30 minute spurts until it was done. Too hot to cut the whole yards all at once.

Went through some boxes I had been wanting to sort. Threw out a lot. Found 3 of my fossil watches from years and years ago ... in fact, 2 are from the 1990s. All they need is new batteries. And a favorite pocket knife from the 90s too. I had forgotten all about it. Without opening it, it felt really good in my hand. :)

It became dark not long after I finished mowing. I will load all the throw away stuff later.

I am all tuckered out and feel so good about todays accomplishments.
:)

well, I finally secured the hotel for our trip to Niagara Falls in August. Once we come back, I will have tons of info to share with everyone for 2018. I really want the Las Vegas 2017 reunion to happen before we focus on 2018, anyway...

got my salad all fixed up for the next few days. Gonna eat well! Love salad but i hate fixing it so I make a big one for several days!

ready to start work in a few...only a 2 day work week but its still a monday...lol

I had to hard clean today. I have spent so much time playing with my grand daughter that I completely neglected the house. I am slap wore out.

I also placed an add for a housecleaning helper. And hired one. I decided I am at a point where bending, squatting, kneeling hurt way too much and that someone else can dust the table legs and clean the woodwork. I can do most of the work, but some things I now need help with.

I should be shocked that I am older and need help. Instead I am giggling and happier than hell that I finally can justify it! LOL
