Keeping busy

Now that I'm disabled, my hubby would def say that I am a hard taskmaster and not much of a co-worker any more. True, I am very good at telling others what I need to be done, says she!

This weekend, hubby has been really busy, doing stuff out in the yard, and things are def coming together. Yesterday, I had my mate, Kwacha, come over to help him move some roofing tin, and mow (to save him having to) and they uncovered a copperhead. Sadly, Mark had to dispatch it, as it would more than likely have gone after my chickens at some point or one of the feral cats that we feed. I prefer to live and let live, and we've relocated snakes in the past, but this one was bigger and thus more of a danger. 

We picked up 2 banana trees yesterday, as I've wanted some for the longest time. Trying to figure out where to start them off, where (in the future) they can expand and propagate. The lady we got them from has about 30 trees and said she started with 2, and she sells them all the while. I am thinking that might be a part of our future enterprises with hubby nearing retirement.

I am in danger of losing my head if it wasn't screwed on, I think. I have a sprayer outside with a coke/oil/pepper mixture in, to stop aphids and other bugs on my outdoor plants, fruits and veggies; I have one in the kitchen with a light Miracle-Gro solution in for my cuttings ... and the Miracle-Gro one that I had on the porch for my plants there has disappeared totally. Vanished! Gone! I have no idea, I didn't take it off the spot on the window sill other than to squirt the plants, and then that was where I kept it. I have looked indoors and out but it has totally disappeared. I guess I shall have to buy another, it's just convenient for me having them readily available where I need to use them. 

Hubby has been messing with the printer as - all of a sudden - it didn't recognise our wi-fi,  Not being able to print the labels for my AVON books kind of brought my business to a standstill, as the prospect of handwriting all my information on 100 brochures was a non-starter.  My arthritis precludes me doing more than 1 or 2, and the aches for hours afterwards really aren't conducive to it being a consideration. So, I now have 15 pages of labels printed and will be labelling and bagging books, in sessions, for the next couple of days.

Thankful that I have a hubby who can fix things, or I'd be totally adrift without a paddle.

I'm also glad that he's off for the next week, for our anniversary on Tuesday.  Sadly I've had to change our plans due to my health.  My BP has been messing me around so a  long-ish road trip and a train ride, aren't possible right now. Shall just have to plan something else, closer to home. Added to which we have lots of projects going on around here to keep us busy. It's all good, the sleeping in of a morning will be awesome in itself.

Have a great week!
