Good Morning, All! Hope everyone is having a good day today - oh what the heck; we might as try for a good week, what do ya think I'm trying to start the new week off on a proper footing - dog out, dog in, stray kitty fed, hummingbird feeders filled, dog out to see if the stray kitty left him any scraps, coffee made and a cup carried to the garden with me (and the dog, of course) to inspect the garden to make sure nothing had been dug up, etc... Now I'm just waiting for Hubby to get out of the shower so I can go start a load of laundry.
And Thank You, Marseydoats, for the tip on the siphon - I've got the Amazon link up on the computer and will show it to Hubby when he comes downstairs. He'd probably be thrilled not to have to fill the tiller and the lawn mower and the buggy and the weed-whacker and the "insert anything that uses fuel" (except chain saw - I'm not allowed to use the chain saw; my father's rule and Hubby has held me to it though he has been gone from us for over a decade now.)
Three of the four males in the house are still asleep; I shut the grand-dog in with the boys when we came back in as he was whining at their door and I wanted to keep it closed so they'd maybe sleep a bit longer so I'd have time to visit here before the breakfast chaos begins - grand-dog was climbing into middle grandson's bed as I closed the door, so wish me luck
My plans for the day started with a cup of coffee, a muffin from the Farmer's Market, and 600 mg of Ibuprofen - I'm hoping the coffee and ibuprofen kick in soon! I had to hang on to the porch rail to bend down to give the stray kitty her plate of food as I wasn't sure that I wouldn't face plant in to it. This getting old stuff ain't for sissies, as my Dad frequently said!
I keep checking the weather to see if I need to go out and water the garden; there is rain in the forecast but the time for it to start keeps changing and first it's a thunderstorm, and now it's isolated thunderstorms at 11, so who knows if we'll even get any rain?! I've got the long hose dragged around to that side of the house - now I just need to see if it will reach both gardens. If not, I've got another one I can attach. I'd hook up the sprinkler but I'd rather not encourage the weeds to grow in between the rows.
Well, I've been back and forth from the computer about 4 times now, so I reckon I'd better post this before I walk away to do something and forget about it
You folks all take care out there - stay safe!
