Apr. 23rd, 2019 03:44 amIts been another long week of sorts, I had a lovely dinner with my Wicked Evil Stepmom and my step cousin, found out that my Wicked Evil will need surgery to replace veins in her legs so she has some circulation there. Testing will be May 3rd to see if they will do it.
Did Family dinner for the Kidlets 12th birthday, it was good to see everyone.
Got outside for more yard time, despite weed whacking the lawn, it needs mowing already. I shudder to think what the back yard looks like, I havent been brave enough to look. I did finally get the solar post toppers installed today, I put longer nails in to hold them in place, and bedammned to the fat squirrels who tamper with them!, and the new crosspiece up on the fence, the last piece shortened up about two inches over the winter, between the shrinkage and the post yawl. I put more hooks onto this "beam" and hung up a couple of things after it was in place. The white picket fence is looking pretty spiffy now that I have done those repair tweeks. When I was at Home Despot, I also picked up another 18 bags of cow poo and a couple bags of mulch for the front.
I spray painted the cross piece this time, normally I paint it with the exterior paint, but, spray works just as well. I also resprayed some of my plastic planters that needed touching up. Funny thing, when I was buying the spray paint, they needed my birthdate, I told them I wasnt a tagger, and I couldnt even use a stepladder without help, so how could I tag? I also pointed at my graying hair too. But, they were the rules, I think that corporate is cracking down again.
On Sunday I saw a nice wild bunny in the side yard again, this one was bigger than the last few I have seen, I had to catch Tigger though, because he was slithering through the grass to accost the poor bunny.
Its to rain again tomorrow, and Wednesday is full up, have an Egypt Lecture and the sister creature and I are getting our haircuts.
