At present I'm almost through with all the paper work that's accumulated over the past six months. I just get caught up and then the table is covered again. I need some tips on organization and bad! Putting things on Free cycle seems to help also. All the craft supplies have just got to go. Paints, markers, colored paper, etc. I've given to the gal who does activities at the library. And I have plenty more to go around.
My little hideaway under the trees has been discovered and last night visitors of my son came up so I didn't go out for the cool night air and peace and quiet. Peace and quiet is something they haven't learned about yet. They talk so loud I can hear them in the house. When you work around loud machines all day you tend to become a bit deaf. If my two sons and hubby start talking in the house, I have to leave the room. Hubby is deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other so it sounds like shouting to me.
One son and hubby love the auto races so this weekend they are going to Thompson. Now that's one quiet night I can count on. I went with them once and once only. The soot, oil fumes, and noise plus the rowdy crowd was enough for me. It left an impression I will never forget. Of course we were right by the pits so I got the full effect, language and everything. Climbing those bleachers was also a balancing act. Naturally they like to sit at the very top. When you have to make it to the ladies room, just forget it and hold it until you get home. By then the bladder is ready to burst. No thank you, it's the guys night out and they really look forward to it. I do too, a good book or movie on TV and I'm happy.
Last night I went down to the garage to make hubby come in. He'd been working out in that muggy heat all day and it was late so I put my foot down. On the way up to the house he spied the skunk on the patio and stopped dead in his tracks. I held his hand and just told him to make a lot of noise walking and talking and the little guy would scoot away. He did but hubby had to get his flashlight when safely inside and check to make sure the critter was truly gone. Skunks and snakes do him in and I can't figure him out. We live in the woods for Pete's sake and those critters come with the territory.
I picked my first cucumbers yesterday. Little guys about 4 inches long. I guess it's time to feed them weekly so I can get bigger veggies. The yellow squash look like little lanterns and the zucchini are just starting to shape up. Oh thrill, goodbye to flowers from now on except for my morning glories, and hello to veggies growing in large pots. Much more exciting and we can eat them!
Well gotta go now. It's time to take care of my babies out there and see if it helps them to grow better. Poor little things, I didn't know they had to be fed every week. I bought the vegetable food so will faithfully care for them. Next year I'll add tomatoes and a huge pot of different herbs. They smell so good and every once in awhile I can smell the thyme and rosemary that I stuck in with my flowers. Pretty greenery and I can use them in cooking.
You all have a good day.
Hugs
