Hail of a Night

Had ping pong and golf sized hail for a couple of hours last night. Holes in the (not now) new daylight window covers, deck pelted causing pits in wood and stain/paint on flooring, tresses, rails (you name it--mostly cosmetic), garden/deck decor broken (Don't laugh Kat) and just pretty discusting. Have already filed a claim and should have estimator contacting me by next week. Saved a truck total claim for State Farm---my neighbor parked his pickup in the extra garage area. Thinking about moving to Delaware where nothing ever happens.

Mass this AM, ran errands and getting ready for a busy, busy next week. Have plants to set out today--patting myself on the back I did not put them out yesterday.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Ma's Doodle Day

Mass this AM, volunteered at rectory, ran an errand, made a special BD call, getting inside house chores done (bummer) so I can get lost in a book later this afternoon (nice).

Putz Mission

On a mission w/conflicts----want to be out in the dirt---want to shop for plants--want to clean off the porch/deck---want, want, want--putz, putz, putz. (Sounds like a cheer---now all I need to add is a rah, rah, and a sis boom bah.)

Mass this AM, ran an errand, ate some more of  that oatmeal, put a load of clothes in the washer, and now gearing up to putz.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Sun Up, Ma's Out...

Mass this AM, picked up a Sunday paper, took the car thru the car wash, ate some more of that wonderful oatmeal (hate to admit it but am actually taking an acquired liking to it--changed brands and finding it much improved--thanks Kat) and am planning on sitting on back deck w/cup of coffee, newspaper, and barking dogs. Always the barking dogs.

Going to start getting the deck furniture ready for "action" (AKA: lounging). Hoping to have all my outside lounging done before the KU/North Carolina BB game begins. Working on another quiet day.

FYI: Mass for our family this week at St. Patrick's on 03/27/2012 @ 8:00am. 

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Stocking up

(Compost/top/potting soil--note the little white bag leaning on the potting soil; a heavy duty old shower curtain. That is the most useful part of the project. The curtain fits perfectly in the storage portion of the HR. Saves clean up, and multi-purposeful for pulling the bags out w/ease and works as a cover to keep  the potting soil fresh.. nice. I carry it in a Ziplock bag in the car in case I need to make a stop at a garden nursery. )

Think the top soil/compost/potting soil will do me for a while. Filled in some low areas, pulled weeds, and scattered Preen over the bare spots/no weed zones in flower garden yesterday. Luv having extra(s) garage space to stack my planting supplies. Taking a break today---just to take in the wonderful sunshine, blue skies...

Mass this afternoon/evening. Nap for sure, read----just chill.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

The Dirt

Mass this AM, ran errands, picked up some groceries and 400 lbs of top soil. No rain today, sun trying to come out from the clouds. Guess who is planning to play in the dirt today?---Yep, Moi.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
