It was her turn to work on the flower beds she had me redo and prepare for planting.
Rootbound plants get those roots ripped apart.
One bed done.
A kneeling pad is an absolute necessity when working in the new mulch.
She’ll pinch the blooms off the plants, but in a week or so they should be covered with blooms. I can see our breakfast time moving out to the patio in the not too distant future so we can enjoy the view.
Recently we have taken to grilling marinated chicken thighs on our Weber grill. These boneless, skinless thighs sure looked great when saw on the shelf in the meat department at our local HEB store.
You’d think that after a lifetime of buying a great looking piece of meat then turning it over to see big globs of fat we would be expecting this to be the case. Isn’t displaying the meat in the package is a form of advertising? And when they hid these big chunks of fat where you can’t see them, could it be a form of false advertising? Then again, it’s just the way things have always been done.
Trying something different. It was four years ago we ditched the cable and went to streaming only, meaning not any broadcast channels either. I’ve read where people get caught up in subscribing to multiple streaming services, but we have avoided that. We have had Amazon Prime for many years and only subscribe to one other service at a time. That other service is currently Acorn.
One of the shows we are watching is My Life is Murder starring Lucy Lawless and originates from Australia and New Zealand. It is amazing how much an excellent actor/actress can add to a show. On the other hand our choice in movies tends to be the quirky independent films have us saying when they are over that that was a really good movie (even if the tend critics say the opposite).
Go grocery shopping on Saturday. In our former life it was not unusual for both of us to work 12 hour days, leaving Saturday as the day to do our major grocery shopping. Let’s just say I was less than happy when obviously older and retired persons would also be grocery shopping on Saturday. They tended to be slow, taking what seemed like forever to pick something out, blocking the aisle and just doing what older people seemed to me at the time to do. Often they didn’t have their charge card, purse or wallet ready when their purchases had been rung up. I guess old habits are hard to break.
Even when hurricane Hannah hit a few years ago my bike didn’t blow over. Up next to our RV and tucked in slightly under one of the slideouts it is very well protected, plus it next to our coach house. These winds had to come from just the right angle to tip it over. Luckily there was no damage to the bike.
