It's supposed to be 90 degrees by this afternoon, so I got off my butt and pulled 2+ weeks of accumulated weeds out of the front yard garden. One of my New Jersey tea plants is doing beautifully and has lovely flowers all over it, another is doing fine but no flowers, and the third is totally dead. Ditto my two lavendar plants - one is thriving and budding and smells heavenly, and the other one planted 4 inches away is a dried out scrawny stump. WTH, front yard soil.
(Also pulled out a shit-ton of horse nettle and am breaking out in little red welts from the spines. Fucking weeds.)
It is supposed to be warm here today so I got out early and poop scooped. Also walked next door and said I would take the elliptical machine in the front yard.
Poor DH. His homecoming has been fraught. He has made progress on the forest green pool and 4' tall weeds in the backyard, but Tropical Storm Gordon will stop progress on that today. Freak accident Saturday has left him with no water for 2 days. He was pulling the boat out from the side of the house to be able to weed eat the area. His truck ran over a coconut that happened to be lying on top of the water meter cover, which cracked, and then broke the pipe below. Fortunately on our side so he didn't take out the whole block. So he is out in the deluging rain trying to fix the pipe. He got a new fitting on last night but wanted to do the pipe repair in daylight.
Timelies all!
I'm so glad nursery school starts up again tomorrow. This weekend has been rough.
I definitely should have done some yard work earlier in the day/weekend, but now it's hot in the sun and I'm in the hammock in the shade.
Hammock in the shade sounds like a perfect way to spend the holiday.
phone bank over, approx 100 calls made. maybe 8-10 supporters noted.
Now to clean up and head home. I'll host again next Sunday and then I think I'll be back to block walking on weekends.
How many people showed up?
2, but they had both called before so I did not have to train and so I called the whole time also. We also took breaks and chatted since it was not a tone of people.
good for you, msbelle!
I'm going mountain biking today on my new bike! I think she needs a name. I'm considering naming her Mrs. Villiers, because I'm rereading the Aubrey-Maturin novels. Dunno, though.
So I went to the foot massage place, and did the "combo" of 30 min feet, 30 min "bodywork" (someone should tell them not to call it that, I think, but it was perfectly legit), and I hated the body part so much, it made me laugh. The foot part was good, though -- I'll go back for that.
