don't feel so bad, today i was trying to get the washing machine to take some quarters but it wouldn't. the door wasn't shut all the way... to be fair Mom closed it and not me and i assumed she closed it all the way.
a place i used to live a lot of the people took out their trash by throwing it in the back of their truck and then driving around and having it fly out wherever. yes, seriously... one of the annoying things i was glad to leave behind when i left that area.
writing a lot... just cuz... :)
yes, every week, it also includes some items for recycling pickup every other week. they will also pick up a certain amount of large items from the curb (appliances, etc.) the rest of the stuff around that people accumulate is covered by a county drop off...
i used to make and give away a lot of strawberry freezer jam. now i have a few jars in the freezer for us to use and that's it. i enjoyed the work, the whole growing, picking, cleaning, making, etc, but when the critters started getting almost all of the harvest that took a lot of my...
it may be their way of making a few extra $ each sale, plus it gets people back or talking about them or ? i dunno. i'm in the camp that the first time it's a mistake and i'll be ok paying for it, but if it happens more often i'm just going to tell them that if they keep doing it it's on...
at last the beekeeping people removed their carpeting and metal barrel from our property so i can get that area taken care of and i won't have to worry about disturbing the hives. they did put about a dozen hives in another area that doesn't block access to the back part of our lot.
yesterday we took some servings of mashed potatoes and meat loaf out of the freezer to have for dinner. all good later even if there was a bit of the potatoes that were still frozen after i warmed them up. crunchy potatoes of not the kind you'd expect... :)
very nice looking open field. :)
sunny here too, a lot of dew still on the grass so i'm not mowing yet even if i'd like to be (not really, but it would be nice to have it done before it gets really hot outside). i'll just have to take breaks to cool off.
have to rustle up some breakfast.
making progress. almost have the last bean garden weeded so i have a chance of getting it planted this week depending upon the weather and other things coming up.
the other day i was feeling rather blah because i felt so behind and the weather was looking like too much rain for me to get...
since i've retired the worm buckets recently i've just been drying some things out and then burying them in the gardens, or if i'm not worried about them sprouting i don't bother drying them at all.
not much yesterday other than sweeping most of the driveway (delivery guy tracked gravel and dirt from the road in when bringing in some mulch).
[the rest is in theory until i actually do it :) ]
today will be weeding some gravel areas/pathways. gardens too muddy from rains.
tomorrow mowing.
i've not been attacked by any hummingbirds but they do at times come flying by when i'm in the gardens as they can be curious and looking for you to feed them. yes, they know humans will feed them and i do think they are not too shy about asking... :) it's like being buzzed by a huge dragon...
