How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Think it rained most of the night,,, every time I woke up I heard rain hitting the roof by my window.

Unless hubby finds another tree to cut down,, we are done splitting wood.

Started dusting the book shelves in this room.
Thinking about changing things around..

Already have my mother's parents pictures & one of hers up.
I have old pictures of my grand parents from my father's family.

The next shelves have wild life figures & plates
May just dust those shelves & clean figures & plates,, put it all back as before.

To find some good pictures of my father's family may take awhile.

Hope every one has a good day.
 

Home from North Georgia.

Yesterday had one very special happening. My younger granddaughter, who is essentially nonverbal autistic, came up to me and kind of “leaned into me“ — that’s her way of saying ‘I’d like a hug.’ I gently hugged her; then older granddaughter came up and wanted a hug too.

So I said, “group hug!“ And the three of us stood there in the hallway of their home, hugging each other gently. My younger granddaughter is not a ‘touchy’ person, but she accepted this and it was a very special moment for this grandma.
 
Left: A half year after her retirement, my wife has recoved and finds the energy to turn our 6 y/o grandson's play area back
into a living room; and to clean the refrigerator and every drawer in the kitchen. We designed the house ourselves although a
Cal Poly architecture grad student put in a proper form. Our worst mistake was designing the kitchen as being too narrow.
Right: On second thought, do I really need three dog beds in my bed room?

Our large yard is a dog's paradise. I love watching my 13 m/o puppy running uphill, jumping over the water, and even falling. But a
bored puppy left unattended is problematic. Rex managed to turn my bedroon upside down, including throwing all of my bedding
to the ground. My grandson wouldn't have been able to do a better job when bored.

Left: Cutting an Olive Tree is only half of the work. Nature is tenacious. With Muraic Acid and Roundup, I am trying to prevent
the tree from growing back. That's a tough job. Right: Isn't it awful how some people discarding trash on other people's land?

It's a bit cloudy this morning, but it still promises to be a beautiful day! I don't expect to receive Canada's gift of cold temperatures until Sunday, and I'm not going to keep them for very long. By Tue it will be warm and sunny again! 🌞

My day is still in the planning stage, so I'm not sure what I'll do......

@hawkdon regardless of what my day brings, I do not have any where near the energy or enthusiasm that you have today! Send some my way, pleeeeeease! 😅


EDITED TO ADD.....
I almost forgot to say that it looks like good weather for traveling tomorrow. Right now, the plan is to go to the roller rink, for the first time in 4 weeks! I get to go skating!!!!!

@packleader

There is a product called "Tordon" that kills the stump and prevents those little rootlings from growing. It kills the entire thing. I have used it in the past few months and so far, so good. The man at the local farm store recommended it; also, the guy who cut down a few trees for me said he uses it. You paint/pour it on the area where the bark meets the inside of the tree. Easy to use. It looks like Amazon has it. Does it work? Ask me next spring.
