Yesterday I got some stuff done. I delivered clean clothes and a strawberry milkshake to my dad and visited a bit. I had him sign a card for my mom for mothers day. Went to my mom's and helped with a craft met DS and his GF and her daughter and went to a dinosaur exhibit then out to eat. We went to our favorite diner but because we were a party f 5 we had to wait forever, but dinner was good
This morning we went back to the diner for breakfast but because we were a party of 2, we went straight to thew front of the line and were seated right away, and in the same booth as last night - too funny. And DH ordered the same food as he did last night!
After we got back - we forced up to matching DS's socks that I found. we were able to match almost all of them up. I suspect he wont want them all so I am planning on donating them to the local street soldiers program. I got another load in the wash - the last of DS's stuff I found in the corner of his room. Someone picked up the laundry sorter yesterday so I am slowly reclaiming some space.
i go get my mom in an hour and we go visit my dad. once we get home, hopefully younger DS will be done delivering flowers and will come help me do some yard work. He works PT for a florist and mothers day weekend is a busy time. I helped him pay off some parking tickets so he owes me. It rained this am and weather looks iffy but there is still enough to do that does not involve mowing or painting.
OK - off to see what small projects I can finish in an hour

Good afternoon ohblondie!
After my last list I decided to go out in the yard for 10 minutes, despite saying that it's really hot I thought maybe in 10 minutes I could dig a hole for one or two of the plants I want to plant later in the day. While out there, it occurred to me that the spot where the zucchini is going is on the side of the house and is shady during the spring because it's not til later in the summer that the sun moves over enough to make it sunny all day. So I was comfortable while planting the 2 small zucchini plants, and covered them with a dollar store wastebasket so the rabbits aren't tempted to eat the young plant. The wastebaskets are tiny though, so the plants will outgrow it in a week but hopefully by then they'll be tougher and the rabbits won't want them. Then a neighbor from across the street came over to ask me for the handyman's phone number. He looked toward the back yard and said the garden looked nice (which I know is a lie because he's one of the "nothing but green lawn" kind of people), so I took the opportunity to explain to him what a pollinator garden was and why it was important. He didn't have his phone with him to take down the phone number so I told him I would put it in his mailbox tomorrow. Then I decided to weed a spot where other plants are going, so I ended up staying out there for 45 minutes.
I will eat lunch now since I have to sit and cool off anyway.

This afternoon I got a call from my shopping friend, so we talked for a long time. Then I went outside for another 45 minutes session, one of the planting areas was now in shade so I planted 2 plants there and then 2 plants in the sun. I saw the first black swallowtail of the year!

Well My son worked 30 hours between 5pm Thursday and 3 pm today! And he brought me a gorgeous hanging basket. He cleared out the right hand end of the garden on the front corner of the house He pulled up some ground cover and dug out some small trees that had started taking root we put the two adirondack chairs in that corner and under the dogwood tree we pulled out a garden bench that was 20 years old and falling apart He mowed the front yard it looks so much better we ate dinner on the back deck he took some of his clean clothes, some leftovers and two boxes of girl scout cookies
i put the food away and loaded and started the dishwasher. i still have to prep the coffee for tomorrow
Tomorrow I let myself start planning and thinking about the shower. I will start loading items in the car. I will go get paper goods and such. Only 50 people thank goodness.
I just wiped down the top of the stove and got the coffee ready. I put away some water bottles and travel mugs that were washed and clean. I should take out the trash as well. next trip downstairs,
DH got a wild hair and got a battery operated saw- I call it a chain saw but it is smaller. He started cuttubg down some overgrowth then just left it in the yard. I refuse to deal with it. I got the one panel on the screen room on. The sun shines on one side and we only put a panel on that side.
ok. I am DONE!
Good niht everyone - see you in the am

Ohblondie, how nice to get some help in the yard!
"ONLY 50 people"? ![::scared::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/edNjPWDWmtR0jjKzyQBp.gif) I hope that's a typo?
I took a long reading break and had dinner, then I checked the plants outside to make sure no one was really dry, I hope to water everything early tomorrow morning. Forecast says rain tomorrow mid-afternoon through the night.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow in the weekday thread!
Diane

ohblondie Your son really came through for you! And after working all those hours! I'm astonished along with Diane. I have never in my life hosted 50 people, nor would I ever say, "Only 50 people thank goodness."
