Wednesday, Officially closed?

See the beautiful flowers D#2 sent me for my birthday?  I just love them.   It was a beautiful day which I spent in  the yard. I was able to get quite a bit done, but was very sore from my work out there on Monday. I would love to be out there today but the weather has turned really cold. Drat!

So today come hell or high water, I am going to sew.  I think my feet are getting wet.....

I had a great call from Sluggy wishing me Happy Birthday and a nice talk with my Sissie.  Then last night Hub's let me control the remote.  How great is that?

This is the very messy pond  are that still needs love.  I think it will take a couple of good days to get this ready for spring.  But I am eating this elephant one bite at a time.

Here are the beds I got cleaned out on Monday.  The blueberry bed was a bugger as we have wild garlic that likes to take over so a lot of time was spent trying to eradicate that and yesterday I was able lay down bark left over from last year.  I am also saving the plastic bags and reusing them for yard waste.  Might as well save on other bags and at least give these a twice use, as plastic is not one of my favorite things to use. The hosta's that normally grow here are just starting to peak out.

 Hubs tilled the garden and now I will need to rake it smooth and let it sit for a few weeks.  You can see where I planted many of the bulbs, I still have to clean out this bed and bark it but that is for a later day.

The cedar bark smells so good and bio degrades nicely.  We have great soil with all of our chicken droppings and just adding nutrients and clippings every year.

I cleaned this entire area and it needs constant attention through out the summer and fall.

It was a a lovely day and as I did not sewing I really have to get busy in there.

There are now 3 confirmed cases in our county, so I am closing up shop without an appointment.  No more just drop ins will be allowed until we get an all clear.So that being said I have had 4 people here this morning.  Just not quite sure how to do this.

But traffic has slowed down there are not 15 prom dresses in here right now.  There may not be a prom, but if and when schools open I am sure there will be a rush.

Today I want to get a few things done. I have on nicer clothes so I won't be tempted to go outside and muck around.

1. change the sheets on the beds.  This has not been done since my Aunt left. 2. I also want to take down the St Patrick's day things and put up Easter.  I have been planning on doing this for a week, but have not.  Lil sis gave me some beautiful things of mom's that are for Easter and I am excited to put them out.  I really never have to buy any of this fru fru as I just wait until it is given to me. 3. finish up apples to the freezer.

I also will get several piles of sewing done today:  I am even going to make a list.  Like that might make me do it?

1. hem pj. pants
2. hem prom dress
3. alter and pile of pants 5 pair
6. military badges 5
7. fix a dress
8. fix a simple wedding dress
9. alter another dress
10. mend a shirt
11. mend some pants
12. start to alter a bag of pants 12 pair
13. fix a bag of mending
14. start on the huge pile of clothes for little person

There is so much to do.  I need to get busy.  I think it will be nice tomorrow so if it is I want to be outside.  That is incentive to get as much of this knocked out as possible.

Okay let's see what Kim can do today.  I think I need a diet coke.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are n the negative.
