Luving this Weather

Feel a song coming on----"Did nuttin' yesterday---just nuttin' yesterday... and am not ashamed to admit it." Have you ever had a whole day of putzing? Could not do it every day but yesterday it just seemed like the perfect thing to do. Felt real close to where's Waldo? Was here, there, and everywhere. Most exciting of all----went to an out of the way bookstore, chatted w/the owner and clerk, naturally, bought several books----have wanted to do that for ever (putz all day)---just did it. Plan to officially name 09/20/2011, as  "Ma's Nuttin Day."

Mass this AM, volunteer at the rectory, run some errands, then yard work the rest of the day. Got a mulched leave delivery yesterday afternoon (thanks Keith) and will begin spreading them in the flower beds. Perfect timing w/Fall on its way. Found the ground is really hard and cannot get anything past 6" down---wanting to move the birdbath, pulled it up and now cannot get it back into the ground---good move---Huh? My carpenter/handyman, who  is on a perpetual retainer----has an auger/like bit that fits onto a drill. He will be here this evening to secure the birdbath back into the ground/put my new pole chain saw together (for the price of supper/after dinner glass of wine.)

Got a couple of neat VA kid pics yesterday evening----cute kids!!! Thanks, Linda and Kurt for having those kids.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Clarification: somebody else removed the birdbath, somebody else was going to secure birdbath, removal was 2/3 of the work birdbath was not crooked and somebody else didnt get dinner/wine:)

You are too funny---Yes clarification is needed---someone (not me) removed the lop sided birdbath ----know handyman has tools to auger the holes to re-secure the birdbath---dinner and wine were superb---augering not done but will be done----possibly too much wine and would have ended up w/another lope side\d birdbath---will try another day w/o dinner and wine. Also, know that Rebecca would not have been involved in any of this---she is too much of a lady and would have none of this---other than a bit/sip of Reisling w/mother-in-law and handyman.
