Getting things done

Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Mon May 10, 2010 4:03 pm

We've been getting things done gradually. We doubled the size of Chance's yard and yesterday I planted the climbing roses along her fence since our other fence hasn't getten put up yet. All things will come in time. What we are doing our Landlord is doing in triple since they moved themselves, their daughter and her father. They are also planting a garden about an acre in size. We are getting our driveway paved in rocks they are picking up out of their newly tilled garden.
After getting the roses planted I dug out several big roots that we kept tripping over. I went and cut the brush that was growing back in the front yard. We moved the pots of flowers around. Then, I decided I had done enough outside.
We had strawberries in the refrigerator that we bought on sale last week so I made them into strawberry jam. I now have 17 jars (half pint) of strawberry jam. They set up beautifully and I will put them in the storage cabinet. Strawberry is dr's favorite jam but he doesn't care for the store bought kind. I may make some peach jam when the peaches get here in summer.
Today, I am going to sort the picture boxes and send the boys the pictures of their childhood. I can sort them now and get them sent to them and they won't look at the boxes and throw them out later. I think I am going to discard pictures of people I knew as a kid because I have no idea where any of them are now as I haven't seen them since I was a kid due to our moving so often. It's going to be windy today so I need an indoor project. I have sewing to do too.
The puppies are starting to come out when I go down there. There are six of them. One white, one black and white, one black with white feet, one lt. tan and two brown with black ones. When they are old enough to be neutered (8 wks) we will take them to a shelter to be adopted. We cannot handle 8 extra dogs.

There are too many dogs in the neighborhood anyway and most of them just run around getting into things.
Have a good day, everyone! dooley

You have been very busy again...or should I say, "still busy". hahaha
It's always a nice surprise to see what you write about, Dooley.
Good luck with the puppies.
Keep up the good work.

Chance must be delighted to have all that space to run around in now Dooley. You must take some photographs of her for us as it's been too long without seeing her.

My children love to see pictures of when they were young and hear the stories behind them. I'm sure your boys will really appreciate getting theirs.
