Back door needs to be fixed near the garage
- fix it and then have it vinyl clad to avoid future rot! DONE
OK it's always scary to see it in
writing, but it's better if it IS in writing.
What’s the good news? The door was
replaced. However, I now need to add another bullet for:
· PAINT the backdoor.
·
Sprinklers - yes, we HAVE to add this back on
there
What is the GREAT news on the sprinklers? They were seeing
a LOT of progress. New heads put in, water running to them, trenching continues
to this day... Pretty soon we'll be down to just one (not so) little thing
left... and that is run the final wiring to the box by the driveway bump out.
Butch wants to go under the driveway for this one... which will entail some
tunneling. What is the BETTER news? I now have a sprinkler in my little garden
area. I don't know if I'll know what to do without having to hand water
everything all the time. :o) I'm pure-d twitterpated at this point!!
· Revisit tree solution - as sickening as that is
to say
The tree solution? Hum... with about 7 of the 50 trees
surviving after the drought, lesson learned WAIT until the spirnklers are fully
completed.
· plant flower beds to the north side of the pool
This
bed too has a sprinkler freshly installed and ready to start sprinkling
whatever is put in there... It's "Butch's bed" to plant... so it will
be interesting to see what goes in there.
For the sake of THIS exercise, I’m going to put the
whole “sprinklers” and backyard stuff to bed with a “Butch is doing that… and
pray the progress continues!!

Transfer
the lovely Wisteria vine dad has for me to my arbor THIS spring.. just before
the thaw and the roots start growing...
This is DONE (transplanted) and growing link a, well a
wisteria. It’s almost reached the top of
the arbor already – it’s about 2/3 of the way up. The grapes, however, on the opposite side are
going gung ho and are all the way to the top and filling in nicely with grapes
actually forming on them this year. I’m
exited! By next year I should have
grapes on the left and wisteria blooms on the right… and by the next year,
hopefully they will have intertwined and we’ll get color and greenery all year
long across the top of the arbor!
· get the rest of the
house organized with the group
· get the craft room up to snuff (scary statement)
The organization is going well too with the weekly "to do" list
from the group. I find it doesn't get the exact thing done at that time, but it
keeps me moving and somewhat on track to get things DONE. That's a good thing.
As always without moving every few years it’s harder to keep from accruing a
lot of “junk” and stuff that I would never miss.
I’m doing better… just really need to
concentrate on the
crap craft room over the next few months.
Goals are set… let’s see if I can stick to
them.
