Last night around 9 p.m. or just before, thunder and lightning exploded my discussion. I am not sure I can reconstruct the whole thing. The man who is doing my plumbing does that as a side gig. He works seven days a week between...

My success of the day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 6 May

Today I got someone to come in and mow my huge back yard. He did a lot of clean up as well. I was surprised. He did it with a push mower. I should not have been surprised. I used to do it that way, but never when it was this...

I am working on peaches

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 2 Jul

We have eaten some, and I have peeled and sliced about a third of the box. I am freezing them in quantities that will make a good pie. I do not put any sugar on them, just some lemon juice, because I do not have any citric acid,...

And Another Trip to Town

Kareng @kareng (80243) • United States 12 Mar 25

So ranting a bit here now... I swear this man (hubby) is nuts. Today he insisted on needing spark plugs for the mower. He bought some part for it yesterday. Whey didn't he get spark plugs too? He made two trips into town...

I have not been online much today

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 26 Jul 24

I am going to visit a little before I head off to bed. Today I did not mow. I moved rocks. When I got a new neighbor who wanted to "help" me mow he ran up over my iris bed. I had carried rocks and put around them when I planted...

Early morning is the way to go

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 14 Jul 24

Before church this morning I moved the two wheel dolly up and got the concrete and post onto it. It was heavy, but I was moving it downhill to be near the shed. By the time church let out I was actually nauseous from the heat. I...

What I bought and need to plant

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 8 Jun 24

This is a new lily I got at Zogie's yesterday. I left my hand in the picture so you can judge the size of the blossom. I do not know if it will get bigger next year, when growing in the soil or not. Lilies are beautiful and quite...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 21 Apr 24

Yesterday was cloudy and a bit chilly all day. Today it looks as if the sun will put in an appearance. No news at all, except that weekends are just too short. After church we will come home. I already have two different meals...

Tunnels throughout

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 24 Jul 23

There are tunnels throughout the bits of wood from the cedar tree that I am cleaning up. They were made by carpenter ants. These carpenter ants do not know where to go with their tree down. They are hiding under bits of the...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 11 Jul 23

Actually it is not really mid day. It is after 3 p.m, but it is the middle of what I am getting done today. I did go out shortly before noon and do some lawn mowing and some watering. I will do more in a little bit. I took an...

I am having a mentally good day. I am in good spirits. I did some mowing and had to put more gas in the mower. I pulled some big weeds, and watered the chives I transplanted as well as some other things. We finished off the last...

What a long morning.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84699) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 May 23

I didn't get a chance to say good morning today, because I almost got in a neighbor war with my next door neighbor's yard person. My husband confronted him, non-conformationally about some trees that were due to be cut. We talked...

A phone call and e mail

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 18 Jul 22

I must have passed all the background checks. I got a phone call telling me that there is an e mail explaining how to use the time keeping system. I mowed a while, trimmed bushes a while, pulled some weeds. Now I will shower. I...

We may have a storm

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 15 May 22

I hear thunder in the back ground. I guess we may have a storm. Hopefully it will just be this morning, as Jane and I were going to the lake for coffee around three this afternoon. I wish I had something yummy already prepared...

It's yet another Monday and I have to say that I am still in a good mood from yesterday. It was a very busy weekend but it was pretty productive. On Friday, I took the day off of work to run an errand with my parents and bake...
