Just More Honey Do's

This week looks to be more Honey Do's like the last couple.  That's fine with me, keeps me busy and somewhat out of trouble with the management.  More yard work picking up the unusual number of oak leaves from this Spring's shedding.  WE have paid our youngest grandson to help in the past.  He wants no part of it this year.  Can't really blame him.  The tassels have finally stopped.  Will pull some maintenance on the riding lawnmower, change a spark plug and the oil along with cleaning the air filter.  It's well past time for that.  A trip to Home Depot for some items, grout for the shower, spray paint for our steel french doors in the back and decorative fence in the front, and a couple other things I don't remember at the moment.  AC guys will be out today for a tune up.  All of those things along with the regular mundane day to day chores is all that is going on here.  Exciting huh?  

Our family tree photo wall is finally taking shape.  It would have been finished but we ran out of ink for our printer.  So we weren't able to get some of the photos finished.  Others, after we put them up needed to be reoriented, from vertical to horizontal and others cropped a little more or a little less.  We are pretty much finished with the still living souls.  And we are running out of room.  We will finish those up and start on the older generations and go until we have no room.  I will try to get pics once it's done.  It's encouraging that 'K' has finally bought into my idea and is taking and big interest and her touch is making it sooo much better.  I can't wait to see what the kids think of it.

We woke up to fresh leaves and a few small limbs laying around and to very heavy patio chairs over turned.  Storms rolled through the area last night but all we got was the wind and apparently lots of it.  The day so far has remained very windy.  I know I have mentioned it before but this year/Spring so far has been as windy as any I remember if not more.  I have heard others mention it also.  At least it's not like South Dakota.

The garden is growing very fast.  Every tomato plant has tomatoes hanging.  The Potato plants have a ton of foliage.  I may have put them in the wrong spot, too close to the tomatoes and may shield them too much from the sun.  The West side of the garden may have been better to shield them from the hotter part of the day.  'K' is so impressed with the potatoes she wants more bags to raise even more.  This was just a trial to see how they did here.  But the bags are pretty economical so that may be what I do.  Have a look:

Well I've got things to do.

Happy Trails
