I’m off to Phoenix tomorrow for a week of adventures. Yesterday “harvested” all the hydrangeas in anticipation of late fall bouquets, took a walk around Deepwood garden and enjoyed the last of the summer bouquets from Sharon’s garden as I tidied for departure and made some lunch: See you next week!!

Trick or Treat!!!
It’s always a aurprise when you go to the door on Halloween… but in this case the giant scary chicken was Mike who came with his son Owen who was dressed as an egg (in this case we know which came first) Trick or Treat!!
The Goodwill Bins
Yesterday three of us went to the Goodwill Bins, an astonishing experience. In a large room there are many many blue bins, all on wheels in rows, all FILLED with junk. Some bins have only books, some have only clothes, some have junk. Mostly (except for books) you pay by the weight. At 4:00 p.m. […]
The New Lawn, finally, complete
Well it just POURED yesterday morning. Torrential. But, in the afternoon the guys arrived to do the final work. Cleaning the walks, patching and trimming the grass, testing the sprinklers.

New Lawn, the Penultimate Day
Considering they laid the sod in the dark, it looks pretty good this morning. They covered the walk in sod as it can’t stayed rolled up another day. Tomorrow, Monday, the LAST day of this process, they will come and use the grass on the sidewalk to fill in little spots, trim, clean up, etc. […]
New Lawn, Day 5
Well the fog and mist of the morning kept the guys away until noon. Then began the long process of preparing the dirt to take the sod. We went off to do errands and came by mid-afternoon to check the progress: Home about 5:30 to find the sod just being spread out and the stepping […]
The New Lawn, Day Four/Evening
Well it rained all day. They needed a three hour window to lay the sod, but it rained all day. We arrived home at 6:00 to find the dirt spread and the sod delivered, but no new lawn. Tomorrow maybe??
New Lawn, Day Four, Morning
At the end of the day yesterday the holes were all filled in and there is a big pile of dirt out there. It rained all night and it looks like the day today is “the perfect day to lay sod” as my visiting Aunt Pat said. Roger and I are off on an adventure […]
New Lawn, Day 3
The guys got an early start this morning and when I went off about 11:00 they were making progress. Wayne says it’ll be all done tomorrow and we’ll have a lush green lawn. Hard to imagine!! (And I’m pretty imaginative) (I should have told them to divide those lilies.)
