Had to get on the computer this morning. It's the first I've been on it since May. So, I thought I'd pop in and say hi before going outside to do some yard work. I won't have my coffee until a bit later. I try to get stuff done outside before it gets too hot.

I've been very busy, so I haven't really had the time. But, I am making progress! I do have a You Tube channel, Dizzy's Doings. So, if you ever want to see what I've been up to, you can always check on there.

It was rough for several months. I just couldn't get motivated to do anything. I was basically doing the bare minimum. I've been working on getting a schedule down. Of course, it constantly changes. But, I am making progress. I have one small patch to weed in my flower garden, and that...

It's been a long time since I've been on here, and a lot has happened since then. After my mom's death, I started going out first once a day, then twice a day to check on my father. I also drove him most places he needed to go as well as cleaned his house and did his yard work. Also helped him...

My garden has been somewhat neglected the past few years. I have most of it planted, and spent time weeding today.

I know some of you may still remember me. It's been a while since I've been on. I've had a lot happen since then. I'm not even sure when the last time I was on. I've had a lot happen in the past few years. Last year was the worst. But, I'm now both a widow and an orphan. If at all...

Right now, I don't have the time to go canoeing. Wish I did, especially since it's starting to get cooler. It doesn't help that the truck isn't running, so I couldn't go even if I had the time.

Callie has been going w/me since I first got her. She really wants to get out at times. This year, she didn't jump out any, last year, she did.

I have a canoe, my friends have kayaks, so we go kaynoeing. I can't sit in a kayak due to injuries from a car accident. And, since I take my dog, Callie, w/me, it's probably better that I use a canoe! She loves to go.

If you don't know your trees, it's an easy enough mistake to make. The leaves of a sweet gum are similar to a maple. But, the branching pattern is different, and the sweet gum has a prickly ball for a seed pod.

Just a little tip for making maple syrup, make sure the trees you're tapping are actually maple! I was talking w/someone a few years ago that tried to make syrup, and had no luck. I looked at the trees. They weren't maple-they were sweet gum.

The pit is done and most of my fence! I was able to go kaynoeing last week, and hope to be able to go next week as well.

I'm starting to get more free time. I may actually be able to start getting on my computer every day!

I'm fine, busy but fine.

I have a gopro and could never get it to tape for more than 3 minutes at a time. I gave up on it.
