Hello Tuesday, How did you sneak in here so quickly. I know, as usual Monday kept me busy and distracted so you could sneak on in. —- Well, it worked, didn’t it. 

Yep, Monday was a bust day. Of course we began with our morning trip to the oncologist office for Ms. Kate. Then out to breakfast and then home. My planned job for yesterday was to get the peony and iris bushes and plants “dead-headed”, i.e cut all of the old blooms off of them. I don’t know how many peonies we have but I’d guess 50 plus. They are really beautiful when they bloom but when they are done, I have to cut all of those blooms off or they really look ugly and they droop down. I filled over half of my garbage can with blooms from the two varieties of plants. The yard now is a mass of green bushes  and iris. Come fall I’ll have to cut the plants all back too. 

Speaking of cutting back; Jim is coming over on Friday and is going to help me trim the azealia bushes back along the front of the house. We can’t see out the from windows because they haven’t been trimmed in a couple of years. This year they hardly bloomed at all and I don’t know why but it is time to trim them back to window-ledge height. Yesterday I also took all of the buckets off of my tomato plants. They are strong enough to stand on their own. I may put a stake beside some of them to make sure they grown straight. I have two plants without a cage. I should probably go to Lowes and get a couple of cages for them. 

I got my little JD back from the John Deere dealer. Hopefully they have it fixed this time. Any way, I mowed my back yard yesterday. I still have the trimming to do and I have the front yard and trimming to o too. 

All of this outside stuff has kept me off of my computer so I’m running a couple of days behind on working on my June 4th service. Maybe I’ll be able to get that this evening. Tomorrow we will have Kate’s radiation, than an appointment with her radiologist. Then I have to go to the churches to run the weeks bulletins. In the meantime, we are trying to get the house ready and menus planned for the weekend when the kids all come in. 

So —- if you don’t hear from me for the rest of the week —- just know I’m busy being busy!!  Have a blessed day. Peace.
