Gardening

We weeded the garden yesterday. Now it looks like we have a garden, instead of a weed patch.Weeding was pretty easy. We actually worked on it for two evenings. We go out about 730 and work only an hour or so.
I am confused as to why my peas and beans looks so sad. I planed on Giving them a boost today but instead cleaned the house, Top to bottom.
We are supposed to have open house this weekend, however we won't be here to take care of it. We are taking Bill (realtor) the key.
Man did I ever clean, I moved all the furniture in the office and mopped it all down, and moved the computer tower to a more central location.
I thanked God for the stamina to complete that part, then on to the living area. Again Move furniture, dust and polish everything.
By the time I was through mopping and cleaning the Great Room I was wiped out with the beginning of a major headache. I always get them if I do any heavy work. My neck and back always do that to me, Darn It.
I then take a nap. I rested for about an hour, ate a little deli ham and back to work.
I need to hang laundry on the line, but not sure I want to lift the basket.
I have not yet, put my laundry out and I want my whites on the line. The sun bleaches them out so nicely, no need for harmful chemicals.
Now when it is cool I will put Miracle Grow on my garden, I know that works. Two years ago we had so many squash and beans, Even into fall. David finally told me I had to quit feeding the plants, Then that did not work so he pulled them up as he picked beans.
I guess he figured that was the only way I would let the plants die back.
Now I have to figure out dinner, and vacuum the two bedrooms, I will be DONE.
At least until I find a new project. I think we have a little more gardening to do, like weed around the corn but believe me that is so easy. It is all loam with a few rock mixed in.
My potatoes did nothing this year. Maybe I will put them in this fall and see if that works.
The headache is still here but so much better. When David got home I hung the laundry and we both lay down a while. He is still asleep. I did not sleep, just rested.
Sometime that is all we need to get moving again.
Every day he comes home with another story on the guys. I know he sure is a busy fellow. He keeps getting jobs for the men. He has pulled in lots of work for them. (must be his smile and winning personality).
That was not a joke I was serious. He has really signed a lot of contracts lately for the men to work. He is pretty proud of that fact as he should be, the men get to earn a little more money to supplement their social security.
So that is my day, now for dinner. I am warming up a bowl of Lima beans and defrosting tri tip bar b que sandwiches.
I will close now and start dinner.
Bye see ya.
