It's Monday again!?
The weekend flew by!
Saturday - I spent it doing laundry - I am officially caught up from the guys' time alone. By the time you add cushions, throw rugs, bedding, and etc., into regular laundry, there was a pile! I got the downstairs cleaned. (Minus Willie's room - he's on his own) Planted my new mums and did some much needed weeding in my other garden areas.
Sunday - spent most of it reading the paper and watching television. I called my mom and wished her a happy birthday. Yes, she now shares her birthday with that infamous date in American history.
Rand finally finished the details on the new door. He had to work all of Saturday. Willie is back on days this morning.
I finally was able to buy the movie Tommy Boy for Rand. It was a much requested movie. I tried earlier this summer (many places), but was always told there were no copies left because they were coming out a special edition of the movie at the end of August. When the new copy came out, every time I went to Target, they were sold out. I finally gave up and went to Wally World. I was able to get the movie, they have additional flavors of my favorite protein drink I haven't seen anywhere else!, a few groceries and my mums - which were on clearance. I still prefer Target, but may have to consider Wally World an acceptable other choice.
The birds are finally returning to my feeders. Yesterday, I showed Camper the birds on the feeders. I held her up to see out the window and she did the strangest thing. When she sees birds, she flaps her jaw and makes the strangest clicking noise. She is now more in love than ever with the screened room. She lies quietly under my chair waiting. And she makes that strange noise every time she sees a bird.
Camper is the most annoying thing ever when I'm trying to be on the computer. I can't get her to stay off the keyboard. There are now functions being done that I didn't know were possible. She chases my mouse almost nonstop. Attacks the screen. Sits on the printer. Sits on the monitor. Climbs in, on, and through every possible crevice on my desk. Last night, she managed to turn off my surge protector and crashed the computer. I gave up and went to bed. This morning when I came out I got to survey in daylight how much she had been up to. My office floor was littered with coasters, ink pens, nail files, and reading glasses. On the plus side, a lot of hidden surfaces are getting well dusted by a fuzzy kitten.
Today will be a garden day again. Weed and water everyone outside. Rain is predicted, but we are very dry here. The ground is now crunchy. The rain always seems to pass us by. And I will get to check to tomatoes. I tend to eat the cherry tomatoes right off the vine as they ripen. I do have some Brandywines almost ready. Hopefully enough for BLTs. I also need to get some propane for the grill, pick up a prescription at Target, and visit the babies at Angela's!
I'm thinking of doing some pruning as well. Cut down some volunteer mulberry trees, more trimming on the lilacs and my one cedar bush, and maybe - even trim back my yellow rose bush. I would like to come up with another location for the rose bush, but sorely lack in available space. This rose (Seven Sisters) has been in our family for multiple generations. And it will take all the room you give it.
Time to get busy.
