We have had a very busy day. My day began at 230 up and sick sick. I finally went back to bed at 4 am and felt much better.
Then at 7 we had to get to work before it got too hot.
David began working the garden rows. They are fertilized and furrowed for the seed. I will do that on Monday. (he is worn out)
Right now I am watering the dirt. It is so dry I call it dead dirt. No life at all in it. Not one drop of moisture.
I planted several Shasta Daisy and cleaned out one of the flower beds. I also planted more petunias, and transplanted several clumps of Violas. They are running rampant in my front flower bed. I then proceeded to the garden to help cover the fertilize. We completed that task so we could work on a broken pipe.
Yes, a pipe Mark put in, It is the one by the side of the driveway. I noticed it was awfully slushy around the faucet and told David we had a break. I was sure. He dug down and found the elbow was not secure. No breaks, in the line just the elbow was not secured to the pipe when he installed it. (when he tried to install it)
David had to go into town to buy the pipe glue, when we could get it finished. After a lot of crawling around in the mud, and pushing the pipe together, We finally called it a day.
we put everything away. It was NOON
We had not ate yet. So we treated ourselves to breakfast and lunch at I Hop. Cereal would have been better and much cheaper.
But we felt it would do us good to just sit and let someone else serve us.
At least now the faucet is fixed and the flowers are planted and I can plant the garden on Monday. At least it is ready to complete all we need to complete. I used 32 lbs of fertilize on the garden.
While in town we shopped for seed. Not one package of black eye peas did we find. I have to search further.
I also talked your dad into a pair of Mens Crocs, He has to slip his shoes on to go to the back yard and this is so much easier on him.
Also keep him in your prayers, and pray we sell this place before it kills him.
I can see the age difference now, A few years ago it was nothing but now, He can not keep up. (Marie calls me the Energizer bunny and I am getting tired.)
When we were closing up outside I watched him walk across the yard. He is bent to the left. Not all time but when he gets tired. His entire body drops to that side and his shoulders are definitely dropped. I told him he walked like Leon, his brother. Poor thing.
I feel so bad when I see him like that. It breaks my heart. He wants the garden too or I would say "Heck with it". But as he said, "once we are eating the fresh veges we will be glad for all the hard work."
So on to a fun.
Ken and I have discussed writing a new vocabulary. You know David-isims.. Like my noise thing which is my voice. One is you know what. (from the doctors visit)
So all have a great day.
And you ladies, Sheri, Mashelle and Kristina, Have a wonderful Mothers Day.
