Good morning!
Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
The yard was pleasant again this morning, except for mosquitoes. Unfortunately, my zucchini plant looks worse so I think it's dying. I wish I had another location to put the small plant I still have inside but I really don't, they take up too much room when they're thriving. I guess I'll just put the last plant in the same place and hope it does better than the others. I collected more forking larkspur seed, most of the plants are dying now. The zinnias have grown a lot during the past week, they are looking good.
Today will be more of the same, work on my desk, work on houseplants, and try for some cleaning. Maybe I'll actually wash another window!

hi lennon and diane and all to come.... Saturday!!! it looks like a nice one. yesterday was a busy work day, but a perk was that I was able to be involved in learning activity with some students where I went to grad school. it was fun and energizing. after that just picked up puppy from daycare and chilled today my only plans are to do work around the house, get groceries, do some financial stuff, and later drive DD somewhere. I also have to pick up a relative who is getting discharged from the hospital. Thankfully I have a day off on Saturday as all my other siblings who are retired and have no children at home are too busy with fun stuff to do it....sigh. they are really something else but that is a whole nother story! I could say no but I guess I'd rather help someone than not but i am not feeling graceful about it! right now I am trying to just do some mini organizatin. I had a landscape person come look at the simple work I want done and I am eagerly awaiting his price my tub has been slow draining and I have a plumber coming Monday for $$$ but it has taken a turn for the worse and is taking hours and hours to drain! can't wait for it to get fixed! |

Good morning bree! Good thing your relative wasn't released on a weekday or they would have expected you to take a day off from work.
Next I'm going to repot the third little haworthia, and I will look around for another plant to repot because that will take care of my repotting goal for the challenge. After that it will be time for lunch.

I did repot a second plant, one that was given to me by a neighbor a couple of years ago, I never did find out what it is. It looks like a dracaena but I couldn't find any variety that matched.
I ate lunch and would like a reading break but I'll wait a little while.

Good morning everyone. I was gone for three days, out of town, and yesterday I didn’t do a thing…my depression won. Today, I HAVE to do some things … including making final travel plans for a trip my husband and I are going to take tomorrow through Friday. I have a friend visiting this afternoon, so I need to do a general pickup, too. I need to pack for the trip and make a shopping list. I have to say since doing my big house rescue two weeks ago, I realize how much less stressful it is to prepare for something like a friend visiting or packing for a trip.
I recognize that now I need to start working on everything “out of sight” … every closet, drawer, and cabinet of my house is BUSTING with stuff that needs decluttered. Under both beds is I don’t even know what! I think today I will do just one drawer - declutter and clean it.
I feel really tired and not very motivated, but I am going to dig deep and use my depression coping strategies to get through and more importantly, feel better and take care of myself.

Good morning TT! Good luck with your list today, nice to hear that the cleaning you did recently makes it less stressful now. I would so love to be able to get on some kind of cleaning schedule, even a modest one, because I know it makes it so much easier to clean up if you have to have someone come in unexpectedly.
I spent over an hour in the yard today, it was cool but kind of humid, it didn't feel bad because the sky was solid clouds and no sun came through at all. I still didn't have to water, I took my moisture gauge outside and tested the tree, the zucchini plant (which is pretty much on its last legs, I think) and my newly planted dill, and even though the very top of the soil looked dry it was fine right underneath. I did weeding, bird baths and water bowls, and washed several pots and miscellaneous things out there. I saw two sleeping bees, one on the coneflowers and one on the Joe Pye weed. I finally figured that out--those were the two plants that were the only seeds that germinated from the fridge, but the label had run and I couldn't figure out what they were for the longest time. They finally bloomed and now I see they are Joe Pye, which makes me happy. That's another plant I need more of, along with the coneflowers.
I also found yet another Datura plant, in another spot, but still where we had put the new soil. I'm watching the seed pods on them and they are still green and closed.
