I had my husband go to Home Depot, get grass seed, and peat moss. It’s 52 degrees today but lots of snow expected next week. Ground is pretty frozen. The back yard is dirt so he spread the grass seed (except in the garden space), laid the peat moss on top of it, and hope for a grassy back yard next spring.

The peat moss had frozen 🤦🏻‍♀️ so he had to break it up with a hammer and shovel. 🤣🤣🤣
 

I had the little girls all day today. We took a walk, we did Christmas crafts, we sent Grandpa out for Happy Meals, we played games.

The 4-year-old cleaned and rearranged my kitchen and the TV room. She wanted to do the laundry, too, but settled for folding towels. She organized the pantry and straightened up anything that needed straightening up and some that didn't. She chided me for having a couple of library books on the kitchen table even though I told her that I liked to read and do crossword puzzles there. "Don't you have somewhere better to put your books?", she asked. Sure 'nuff, she found a place she wants me to keep my books. Then she blew the leaves out of the driveway with a little leaf blower that's almost as big as she is and did some raking. That's what she likes to do when she comes over.....yard and housework. Four years old. She's a treasure, that one is. The 7-year-old likes yard work, but isn't much for housework.

I'm a lucky woman. They aren't my flesh-and-blood but they have my heart clutched in their grubby little hands and I think they love me as much as I love them.
 
Did very little again today... except cook...and do the laundry.

DD says she has a 'little surprise '' for me if I felt like driving over there , but it was pouring of rain so it'll have to keep for another day

I'm just happy staying home when the weather is bad...I like to be in my comfort zone, and she's exactly the same :love:
 
I really didn't have plans today
On my mid morning walk,I dropped off latest issue of Time magazine{ my subscription ended in July,I didn't renew,still keep get it,go figure} Paul Krugman's article in today's NYT to my friend,Marcia's house.I put them in her mailbx,then I continued on my walk.I turned the corner, heard Marcia call my name,she was walking the family dog Aker aka my 'buddy boy'. I joined them he was happy to see me wagged his tail When we got back to the house,I gave him his treat,Marcia&I chatted for couple of minutes. As I was about to leave,bent down to give him a hug he licked my nose
This afternoon,after lunch&nap I walked 3 x around our apt complex.The sun was out,good way to get some exercise
 
What did I do today, let me think! I did some wash and then I had to Iron some of my husband's shirts. I found that strange because he only wears those type of shirts when he is wearing his suit. There were already at least a dozen that were ironed and still in his closet. Of course, he didn't think any of them were the color he wanted. I told him to go look and check the colors and he said "No I'm sure I don't have any beige ones or light blue ones." So rather than argue with him I ironed some shirts. He is very lucky I didn't use the iron on him! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Going to see my favorite son today. Going grocery shopping.

Trying to refrain from buying a small puppy since I will have an unexpected 1200 dollars, yes, his and mine, hopefully. A small dog eats very little when full grown puppy so I can afford to feed it. Then I will have a small little puppy dog that I take with on my walk instead of looking like a fat overweight older lonely woman with nothing to do and no place to go. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I feel so pathetic some days. 🙄

Please don't feel that way.......
Sounds like you've put a lot of thought in possibly getting a little companion......hope the best in your decision.
Enjoy your visit with your son.
 
going to work soon. i have lost count of the covid trays we're sending out because there's so many. according to facebook updates we have 42 in the hospital now. not sure whose eating and whose vented.

it's becoming an exhausting task and i think it's starting to take its toll on the other employees now.

have a good day all and please be careful!
 
This morning I went on my early walk around 6:45,wearing boots since we got a 'white Xmas' I'd say we got 4 inches of snow,temp was 28
I walked out the front door of my apt building {as I do every morning}no surprise our sidewalks were not shoveled but the driveway was.I walked halfway down the street,came back and walked 4 x around our community garden circle{not shoveled either}
The rest of my day open my presents,take a couple more walks,hopefully on shoveled sidewalks
This afternoon at 4 have a 'family zoom meeting' with brother&family,they are at their place in NH,my sister who lives in England
 
Christmas day like no other before it... we've pretty much done everything we'd do on a normal day.

I've had a little more special brunch than usual, and will do the same for dinner, but in between, I've re-framed a picture and hung it in a new place .. cleared out some boxes from the shed into the barn....... had a 2 zoom calls with family members.

Hubs emptied all our trellis plant holders of water since we've pretty much had rain for the last 2 weeks (not today )... then he cleaned and refilled all the Bird feeders.. he had to crack the ice in the bird bath because it was frozen solid..

Lit all the livingroom up with candles, and showed them off to family via Zoom...

Did the laundry , wahsed, dried and put away ... and in between posted here...

It's coming up towards 5pm now and just got dark ....but it's forecast for a big storm here tomorrow, torrential rain and high winds

I'll be having dinner in a couple of hours, we both have dinner at separate times, he's vegan and I'm not, so he just has his when he feels like it...
