It’s Come to My Attention

Update…our truck will be fixed today from where we had to break in. Read about that here. I thought it would be weeks!

Luckie cannot wait…she needs her “ride” to be rollin’! And “Please,” she says…”don’t lock us up and not be able to get in again…it was scary with you hammering on my window, Mommy!”

I went outside early this morning to visit the honeybees and found the “welcome mat” for the skunks was askew.   Those little stinkers, and I mean stinkers, have been back in the bee enclosure trying to get the bees.     I fixed it and that…my friend…is the only thing I got accomplished today.    I should have just went back inside and crawled in bed.

Later, I went to Kingsport for a 11:00 am appointment. Messed up my whole day. I need to get my work done in the morning, because by afternoon, I’m not very energetic. So…on the way to Kingsport, I listened to NPR about the debt ceiling and the government shutdown — neither of which I understand. Just the very sound of these things makes me want to run out and buy a year’s supply of toilet paper. Single ply so that it will last longer!!

Here’s a few of my unfinished projects…which I’ll have done by Sunday evening.

1) Do something for the front door. Or should I just leave the lone punkin’ lying in the little cart?

Do you remember last year when I made the wreath and then stepped back and realized it looked like two boobs? I may get that back out.

2) Plant 60 King Alfred daffodils, and by the way, what a stupid name for a daffodil.

3) Finish this little block pumpkin project. These have the beginnings of something cute. Maybe.

4) Make the darned applesauce. These apples are yelling at me everytime I walk by them and there’s many more on the trees that need to come down. Here’s one of the big mouths on the fence post.

5) Plant the pansies I bought in a moment of madness. I bought 36 pansies, and I’m not sure I even like them. They were so pretty in the big flat, but now….what was I thinking?

And I’m going to sit out in the front porch and look at the pretty view after all this is done.

    Think you’re going to be busy. By the way, I like the two boob wreath!! Skunk didn’t get very bees did it? Sure hope not–Judi is still needing her honey.

    Who knew skunks were so attracted to bees … or should I say honey? And Scott toilet paper is my thrifty favorite. You can buy it in bulk at Sam’s Club. 😉

    Gary says boobs can be very festive sometimes!! Lol!! But I say that decorating tips say to do either 1 or 3 so if you add a boob… I mean pumpkin… to the wreath your problem is solved! Also, I think pansies are beautiful but at my house they are just deer food!!
