busy, busy, busy

 I had a full day today


    At least as full a day as this 76 year old can handle.

    Julia's car and our car had the low tire pressure warnings on.  This happens whenever the weather turns cool.

    So I filled up the tires today.

    Our pantry was a disaster.  I made it a less of a disaster by rearranging and sorting things.  We have a lot of food in there.....I need to pay closer attention to my shopping lists in the future.

    Julia and I gave Beth a bath.  That is not as easy as it sounds, because pup dog does not like a bath.  She was shivering like crazy as I hosed her down in the shower.

    My main goal over the next three days is to get compost out of my composter bin in the back of the yard.  That is not easy for me  and it is time consuming.

    I shovel out the bottom, but it on a wire mesh screen stretched over my yard cart, and sift the compost to remove rocks, twigs, body parts....the usual items.

    Then I have to unload it into one of my raised bed gardens.  

    I also have a small pile of yard debris I should burn, but it is so dry I am a little concerned about doing that.  

    After I deal with the compost I can start moving outdoor items in....like unused hoses, yard ornaments, the bird bath.  I use the yard cart to store most of the outdoor stuff, so it's like a domino effect.....one thing has to be done for the next to be done.

    I don't want to do that when it is freezing cold outside.   That is usually when I do it, but I want to get ahead of the game this year.

    Now, heating pad on my back for a while, I am ready to sleep.

Peace and Love



One of those streaks may be a comet...or not.

Soybeans are almost all done
