Another busy couple of days!

Well, we are starting to see things getting done. 

The "cement guys" ,as I call them, came out and graded and framed the area for the driveway. They were due to pour on Monday but have needed to make it Tuesday instead. No worries. I'm happy knowing it's going to be done and will be ok by the end of the month, for me to have the Pod people put the Pod on. 

This looks so small but it's the angle of the pic, as it's 10' x 50'. I'll have to take one from the other direction which gives a better view.

Hubby started "messin' about" in my hallway bathroom, the one that is going to be my sanctuary for relaxing once it's done. He started pulling off some of the tiled surround. We've decided not to replace the 36" wide vanities with the same size, opting instead to go smaller, down to 30". Today we went back to Lowe's and checked out some in the new size, and just have to check the reviews and see whether people like them or have had issues.

Hubby found me an amazing spider plant for $8 in the clearance section. LOADS of babies, so she's in the sink soaking at the moment, and tomorrow, I'll start cutting off some of the trailers and planting them in a circle in some other pots. Poor plant was so light, so def bone dry. I spritzed her all over with Miracle Gro as well so's she knows she's got a home where she'll be loved..

I also bought some hyacinth bulbs, pink, mauve and white, a pack of 15, so I've planted 5 each in pots together, and they'll be a nice fragrance on the front porch when they bloom.  I was also looking for lavender plants or seeds but to no avail.

Hubby also did another concrete slab of the pathway today, and my grandson - Dylan - came over and did some weed-eating.

Earlier, I'd had a doctor visit, and we'd both had chiropractor visits. We met Dylan at Cracker Barrel for lunch, and grabbed some goodies while we were there.

My book of kid's poetry and colouring pages, is coming along. Another "slow and steady will win the race" project. I'm trying to make sure that it's going to be something kids will enjoy. Eventually, I'd still like to do "The Storybook Witch" as a stand alone picture book. but that's not going to happen any time soon.

Well, that's today's blog. Have a great weekend!

Life is getting hectic!

YAY, the walk-in bathtub arrived yesterday! It is currently taking up space in the living room, until we are ready to put it in.

Hubby fixed the ceiling fan on the front porch, so tomorrow I am going to re-vacuum, re-polish and then get all my plants out of the hallway bathroom and back onto the front porch. I've kind of been using the hallway bathroom as a plant nursery, LOL, so they have to come out so that I can turn it into my relaxation spa.

Earlier today, my "tree man" came and took down 2 trees that were half-dead, so that was another project taken care of. 

I've also been in the hallway bathroom taking stuff out of the under-sink cupboard. Let's just say, I've not been under there for YEARS and some of the stuff I threw out was from when Dylan lived with us about 10 years ago! The one thing that I THOUGHT was under there, but wasn't, is a pink ceramic washbowl and jug that a friend made me many years ago, when we were in Germany. I could have sworn it was under there, so now I have no idea where it is. Somewhere safe, because that's one of my "pride and joys" and I wanted it to have a spot as an accent in the bathroom, once we get it done.

Emailed the guy who does the skip rental, so that I can get that delivered, for us to start taking out the bathroom cabinet and old bathtub, and begin with the old kitchen cabinets, wall panels etc as well.  This is going to take us a few months but we are finally seeing a start to everything.

I worked some more on the poetry and colouring book for kids, and am hoping to get that finished in the next week or so, so that I can get it published before Halloween. The first poem is The Storybook Witch, that I've wanted to do as an illustrated kids book for years. This may not be what I envisioned, but who knows? That may come later. For now, this one is a selection of my poems for children along with colouring pages to match parts of the poems. I hope it'll make some little ones happy!

Tomorrow will be another busy day, we have plenty to do!
