a visitor

Julia came to visit tonight 

    Beth was one happy dog!  She really misses Julia.

    Beth has adapted fairly well.  We get up later than Julia and I am usually occupied with caretaker duties as soon as we get up.

    That means Beth has to wait on breakfast and wait at the door to go outside.

    But today I had to wake her up!  

    Now if I could only sleep in.

    We had a doctor's appointment in DeKalb today.  Yes, I know, I had one there yesterday.  And no, we could not make them for the same day.

    We had 4 other stops to make, and unfortunately none of them were Ollie's!  

    I dilly dallied around when we got home, then made supper and decided at about 7 that I should spread the wildflower seeds I had bought.

    I went out to do that, but first I had to air up the tires in the spreader.  Before I could do that I had to find the air pump.  Before I could use the air pump I had to find a charged battery.  Eventually the dominoes all fell into place and I mixed the seeds and rice hull packages together.  

    I have no idea how much I covered.  I should have covered 3,000 square feet, but it could have been anywhere from 200 to 20,000. 

    I am hoping for some nice rains the next few days to get the seeds growing.  I just hope the birds don't find them first, which is a distinct possibility.

    As I was seeding, I thought of all the things I need/want to do.  I thought I should make a list, but when I got in the house I realized how self defeating that would be.  I still have things from last summer I did not do.

    And it is funny in a way, I keep thinking once school is out I will have more time.  I know, that makes no sense at all.  I will have the same amount of time I have now.

    I just need to use it better.

    I'll add t hat to my list.

Peace and Love
