Well, it's 8:30AM, Gary is still in bed and I've been up since 6:30. I told you I wouldn't be able to sleep all night since I took that nap yesterday. Actually I went to bed at midnight and slept till a couple of little furbutts woke me up at 6:30. I was really surprised I slept so well. Guess I needed that nap.
So, I got up and finished unloading the trailer. There wasn't a whole lot of things, but took me about 6 trips back and forth. Thankfully it is parked about 20 feet from my backdoor!
Then I found some more things in the garage to take down to the shop. They are just sitting out as I didn't want to fire up the John Deere this early. Our neighbors houses are not close, but they could hear my John Deere and I didn't think that was the neighborly thing to do at 6:30 on a Saturday.
Then I cleaned out the refridg - I didn't wipe it down (my housekeeper will do that if I ask her) but just got out all the old and expired things. Then I unloaded the dishwasher and after that I started shredding some accumulated mail, until the shredder overheated
. Hope it will start up again after it cools off.
I'm going to put some fertilizer on the yard later, I use alfalfa pellets and dry molasses I get at the feed store. It is quite inexpensive for lawn fertilizer and it works great! My yard looks so beautiful this year. If you remember, last year when we moved here the yard was in really bad shape. So, I spent a lot of money getting compost spread all over the yard. I had to have the lawn company do that since my yard is so big. Then I had to water like crazy all summer due to the drought (more money spent). But this year the lawn looks absolutely gorgeous. So, I'll pop on my alfalfa and molasses and water that in. I'm sure the wonderful rains we've been having will stop soon and I'll have to start back up watering. But the grass trees such have enjoyed this wet winter/spring.
Oh and my beneficial nematodes. They are microscopic organisms that you spray on your yard and they will eat flea eggs and fire ant eggs, both of which live in the soil. i didn't use any last year because of the drought - the nematodes will die in extreme drought. But it is moist enough now to put them on and if I water the yard normally during the summer, they will survive. I hate to battle fleas on the dogs in the summer. And we have a lot of fire ants out here. I've gotten bitten so many times in the past year.
Well I hear Gary rustling around in the bedroom, better go check on him.
