A little bit at a time

It is October and I will be needing to bring plants in soon.
I waited around all day thinking the mower guy would come, but he did not.
To get some outside time I went and took my amaryllis out of a big planter and put them in individual pots, hoping to force them to bloom more this year.
I am putting all of my geraniums, all five different kind, into that planter.
Is it any wonder I have dirty fingernails.
For lunch I had pork tenderloin roast with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. I also had a huge helping of bread pudding, made from banana bread of all things.
Mondays I talk with my son on the phone. Tuesdays I talk with my daughter on the phone.
Tomorrow I am meeting Beth for lunch before my eye appointment in McPherson.
This morning I had my labs for my Friday doctor's appointment. Just moving right along.
It is not dark, but the doors are closed and locked. I have started giving the boys a small can of wet cat food in the evening. Kind of to tell them the day is over.
I am trying to rearrange furniture, clean out closets and drawers. Always, always, pay bills, buy gasoline for the car.
So all those things are what is on my mind.
I have read and responded to quite a few discussions.

Sorry the mower guy didn't come
That must have been so annoying
You do have a lot of flowers, do you not wear disposable gloves when working with soil and plants
Hope the eye appointment goes well tomorrow Heather
You do have quite a lot on your mind
I would struggle to carry a load like that

Sounds like a routine. Good luck with the doctor stuff.

Sounds like you've been pretty doggone busy lately. But I don't think it'll be October for another couple days





I’m glad you’re going to have lunch with Beth. That will be enjoyable.
