Weekend! I have not been that productive ohblondie was the baby shower yesterday? Yesterday I did dishes, moved laundry along, cleaned the litter, got groceries, took puppy for a walk, and did some refrigerator browsing in a big box store. I’d like a new one with freezer in bottom and my current one is leaking but a simple bowl catches the leak which is not much and it is all free. My puppy walk was short as DD took her for a nice long walk earlier. I spent a lot of time w a book at the lake. There were kids there doing prom photos. I told them they looked beautiful and they did! Today I think I’ll do church online. And will dust and vac and do some laundry. House still looks a bit like a cyclone w DD college stuff. Hope t get that all put out of dining room she is working on it. Today is the last day of a big local festival. Might see if DD wants to go. I am thinking so much effort to go- parking is hard and costly…makes me think I am acting old when I think of parking instead of the potential fun if the festival! Yesterday I saw a Fox that I am worried about. Boycat was out and I was out I brought boycat in this Fox seemed confused and was walking openly. I think it is sick not with rabies but maybe mange. Praying for him or her. So vulnerable. There are good people here that put medicine out for them. I have seen a few posts, maybe this is the same Fox.

Good morning bree and TT!
Congrats on finishing the work project TT!
I did an hour in the yard as soon as I woke up, it was already kind of humid and uncomfortable. I weeded out some areas where I want to put plants, and transferred a couple of things from there to the back.
I joined a Facebook group someone set up for our state, so people could talk about cicadas and report when they see them. I haven't seen any yet, although lots of people in surrounding areas have. My village doesn't have an excess of trees in it, which may be why I haven't seen them yet. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how I react, but some of the photos people have submitted are showing sidewalks covered in them--both dead and alive--that's the thing I'm afraid of, if you can't even walk without stepping on them. I'm pretty sure it won't get that bad here.
The forecast for the next two days is upper 80s--ugh. The handyman is hoping to come Wednesday as long as it continues to look rain-free.

Hello oust and reve!
I looked at the weather site and supposedly it's 77 degrees here, so I went outside but the sun still made it feel so bad. I did weeding and shoveled some soil into the clear bin--it's full now, no more will fit, but at least I shoveled a channel through between the two planters so I can walk between them if I'm careful.
I was trying to figure out what to do about the violets--it seems like in past years when the violets stopped blooming they sort of faded away, but maybe because most of them were in the grass and I was cutting them down. They are still here, in beautiful green mounds of foliage. I did some reading on them, not only do they spread by rhizomes, they also have seeds that have a property that attracts ants--the ants carry the seeds away, eat the tasty coating off, and then abandon the seed somewhere, so it's another chance for the violets to spread. I don't know why people consider them weeds, they are beautiful, even when not blooming their leaves are gorgeous. If there are too many, you can pull them out. They will probably come back the next year, but then, pull them out again! I will have to remove some because they're in places I have to plant other things.
I couldn't stay out too long because of the heat and humidity, but I also went down to the basement to take the second hose out--the one that I attach to the water barrel, also the chicken wire circle that I need for one of the zucchini plants. I'll need to make another one for the second plant. They have already outgrown their little mesh garbage cans so I'm going to have to remove them once I get the second wire cage made.
While in the basement I noticed how it's starting to get full and messy again--ugh, there's so much to do.
I'm expecting a call from my shopping friend today.
Diane

Baby shower was yesterday. It went well. My older DD and I picked up my mom at 10am and drive to the venue to begin setting up. We had some delicious food. I took a piece of clothesline and strung it the length of the pavilion. I had been picking up some like new clothes at a local charity shop. We hung the items from the clothes line Onesies and coats and outfits. It was cute. It was a long day for my mom - DS/s GF brought her home around 4pm. We didnt get some cleaning up til 6 or so.
My mom thought we did an excellent job and that the clothesline idea was cute
My older DD liked it but I think my pregnant DD did not like it. Oh well. Some one gifted me a beautiful like new IKEA crib (no recalls). DD wanted white not unfinished and has been sending me links to $800 bedroom sets. I found someone else to give the crib to and I am ignoring the bedroom set texts.
THis afternoon DH and I went and bought a new mattress and box spring. We are dragging the old set outside first thing. then I focus on cleaning under the bed. I will vac and put that diat earth down and vac again. I have powders to put in the baseboard and cracks and crevices and that special earth stuff to put in a cup for each leg,
I have bed bug resistant covers for the box spring and mattress and new bedding. Hopefully this is a good start.
I spent some time in the glam room picking up clothing. I have more piles to be donated. Time now to spend some time in the kitchen,

Just tossed the ball with Callie for a bit. She has been ignored this weekend and needed some attention.
Started attacking the pile at the bottom of the stairs to be able to get the mattress in
I shredded a med size pile and bagged up some recycling stuff
Back to the bottom of the stairs

Hi Everyone! I missed you! I cleared out some (not all) of the shelves on two different bookcases. I gave myself permission to throw them away. Math books are plentiful and there is a lot of software now like ALEKS and XL. The shelves have a little space now and look much better. No more stacks of books on top and in front on the floor. I'm pretty overwhelmed. I am going to just focus on the kitchen this morning before work.
