Weekend

Another weekend is over and time has come to hit the hay. I am pretty tired but I did nothing. At least nothing on Saturday and Sunday. It was too cool to be outside.
On Friday David came in to get the car about noon. It was such a beautiful day he decided to stay home. I second that idea. We began working and worked until late.
He mowed and I cleaned the pool and trimmed the grape vines.
The pool filters were clean to begin with but when I was through they were totally covered in sand.
So we had to clean again. It is amazing how much sand blows into the pool in one winter. However it looks great now.
We have so many things to accomplish. We need a couple of loads of rock brought out to re-cover the road before we lose the work we did earlier. Our neighbors will be in on that one.
We need a load of bark for the rose garden, I need to mow the back area and I am still debating on an area for my herb garden. With six (6) acres you would think it would be a cinch. Not so, I just cant decide, plus it needs a good tilling and week killing.
It has to be where I can go from my kitchen to the yard to pick fresh herbs. Chives, Sage, Oregano, Dill and Rosemary, I am sure lots of others, I do have mint growing beside the house so I am covered there.
Problem, I saw my neighbors dog pee on my oregano and I became furious. as I said, I have no dog but I am constantly cleaning up after them. Which reminds me, I need to check on Shasta County leash law. I think they have to keep them leashed or in a secure yard.
I hate to complain but I am afraid of their pit bull. Scares me to death.
Plus he wants to come into house. He stood with his paws on my glass entry door on Friday and I freaked out. I ran him off, but how long will that last?
Saturday and Sunday it has been pretty cool, In fact not over 54 all day.
Friday we had our hot tub fixed so we made use of it on Friday night. It felt so good to soak in the tub.
Today we watched movies and I filled out crossword puzzles and read some of my book.
It is so neat to relive those memories.
I also cooked a huge Corned beef and cabbage. I know it is not St. Patricks day yet but i wanted to cook something that would last us a couple of days. It worked, all I had to do today was warm it all up.
Tomorrow I think I will take David to work and find parts for my tractor and put them on. Then back to town to pick him up at 2. Going to be another long day. Town and I do not do well together. I had much rather be home and relaxing, going to town just seems to ruin my entire day.
Maybe I will drop in to see my Friend, Gwena, while I wait for stores to open.
Please keep her in your prayers, she goes in Friday for the injection into her spine to help the break heal at the C-12 vertebrae.
She is one tough lady so I am sure she will fight it all the way. She is determined to be up and about her business, every day.
I admire her for that tenacity. Kind of like me, I detest being down for any length of time or even for a day or two.
OK that is our weekend, Not much exciting going on here.
