Monday Musings

There are lots of ideas and thoughts running around in my head today. It's a really nice, normal May day. After my walk, I finished my project....Well, I finished the part I can do. We are going to do a remodel in here, but that needs to wait until Jim's hand is healed from his upcoming surgery.

Did you notice, there are even some empty spots on the shelves. Look out Mich*aels.

I even bit the bullet and weeded this book shelf. I have two bags of books to donate to the library's book sale.


That project done, it's time to move on to something more fun, like aprons. But, no, wait a minute. This is sitting in the garage waiting for my attention.

Because Jim helps me with spreading the mulch, I need to get my gardens weeded and the mulch spread before Jim's fourth hand surgery later this month. After that, I'll be on my own for the outside work for the rest of the summer.

Our plan for mowing is that he will mow with the rider all that he can and I will do the trimming with the hand mower. I haven't mowed in years, since the girls were little. This should be a test of my skill and endurance, as well as Jim's patience.

And then there's the vegetable garden. Last year, with Jim's hand surgery and my broken wrist, we had to forgo our vegetable garden. Although we went to the farmer's market as often as possible, we really missed our garden. So, the deal this year is that he will do the tilling and whatever before his surgery and he will supervise while I do the planting. I'll keep you posted on that one.

So, I guess you can why my aprons will have to wait a little. No mind, I'll get to them and the anticipation might just increase my pleasure. In the meantime, I really do need to make some Mother's Day cards for my aunts, so I'll get a little craft action in this week.

Our weekend was good. We walked on the high school track early on Saturday morning, and then went to buy mulch. I thought we should celebrate the mulch purchase with a trip to Weg*man's and a whole wheat muffin and coffee.

We met our friends Bruce & Shelly for barbcue in the evening. It was yummy. We had a really nice time. We hadn't seen Shelly since before we went to Henderson. It was a great evening which I paid for with heart burn. Too much barbcue and wine, I think.

Jim took a day trip to PA to see his mom yesterday. They had a nice lunch out and a great visit. I stayed home and vegged out.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday.
