Exhausted, I figuratively dragged myself indoors. Too bad there isn’t a genie to fix me a bite of supper. I’ll settle for a couple of apples because easy to prepare. The thermometer says ninety-two degrees and I was outdoors in that heat. Why? In the earlier blog message, I mentioned five months remaining on my lease. The “to do” list is endless!! This afternoon I emptied soil from no-plant planters and washed planters. (I recycle soil because I always purchase top-quality organic and it can be rejuvenated with coir.) ~~ Two dozen green and brown beer bottles were smashed with a heavy brick. (Bottles collected but will never be used for my bottle bushes. No customers at my yard sale interested in purchase of brand-new never unpacked bottle bushes and free bottles. ) ~~ Watered plants; sprayed Fels-Naptha natural insecticide on infected plants. (Here’s an earlier blog message about my homemade garden products.) ~~ Five large garbage bags are ready for proper disposal. Peculiar items: Empty prescription and nutrition containers I used for “pebbles for planters,” and styrofoam “peanuts” likewise ideal in the bottom of planters for superior drainage. (So few “gardeners” in my community; I can’t even give away extra planters and garden paraphernalia.) ~~ Frankly, I’ve already forgotten half the things I did because I hop-scotched from one thing to another. “Oh, do this! Next, do that!!” Bottom line: I’m getting lots of exercise. Oh yes, picked up limbs, too, because dead limbs falling every day.

Preparing blog messages is relaxing, and enjoyable.
“Yours truly” seldom leaves home. Residing on a busy street with many neighbors, lots to see. The backyard neighbor had major damage from recent rain storm. Their new roof finished just prior to the rain storm expected to arrive this weekend. If I owned this property, roof repair might be on my “to do” list. But why speculate? I may have to move in five months; only a one year lease. This recent move has caused me pain and grief!! Another move is one thing (of many) that causes depression.
