Yesterday was a pretty nice day. The sun was shining, I felt well, and all was good in my world. First thing, we delivered 3 AVON orders to my customers, and then went to Greer, to have our massages at Studio Rejuvenate.
The "water" yesterday was a blend of kumquat and hibiscus, and me (not knowing what they "do" in the body) wanted to find out more. I was quite impressed - hibiscus lowers blood pressure!! Oh yes, that def sounds like something I'm interested in. I spent some time researching and plan on ordering some online, since my local health food stores don't stock what I'm looking for.
Hubby has been making the most of his new toys. Over the past couple of days, he has felled a Bradford Pear and transported it down to the field and dropped it in the trench to rot back into the earth. He's also been moving mulch from the free pile that we'd had delivered the other year, and spreading it around the yard, and levelling more of the gravel pile by the driveway. Yesterday, we stopped by Lowe's and he picked up another roll of the weed barrier that we are putting under the gravel.
It's all coming together pretty nicely.
I'm working on publishing "The Storybook Witch" by Halloween, I have about 6 months to accomplish that. I'd like to give a copy to each of my great-grands, and to my niece, Sophie, who is now a mum herself, but whose need for a witch poem one year when she was in Primary School, prompted the writing of the poem.
I'm looking out for peat pots so that I can start planting seeds and get them started. I found out last year that the plastic trays do not give up the seedlings very easily, so this year I'm going to use peat pots inside the trays, which should make removing them for transplanting so much easier. So far, the Dollar Tree hasn't started putting them out so I have to be patient.
Spring is definitely on it's way, and the white troughs that I do my container plantings in, need repainting on the outside to spruce them up. I'm hoping taht my great grandson can do it one time when his mum comes over. He can earn himself a few $$$ and have fun at the same time.
My reading list recently has included a book about, and another by, Corrie Ten Boom, a heroine of WWII who hid Jews in Holland during the Nazi occupation and became a public speaker about the Holocaust after the war. She was a very God-centred Christian who eventually set up Healing Centers where the persecuted and their persecutors could heal from the evil that had occurred.
As for the 4 legged sons and great grandpuppy, all are well and having a blast playing out, and being able to run in and out at will, on the nice sunny days. They're not too keen on the rainy ones, as coming in, after being outside, means no lying on the bed or couch, but confinement in the kitchen until they are fully dry. Those days are no fun for anyone.
Hope everyone has an amazing day. Thanks for reading!
