I was able to go to the place where I bought my one tree - (I bought three from them) - unfortunately the tree was cut short in the roots when the grower dug it up. I have to write the manager *- I don't think the woman believed it was the growers fault. I showed her the pictures and she said that we didn't use their tree planting service so that I may not get my money back.

I figure they can at least pay me what they paid the grower for the tree.

wish me luck.

lunch has been had by all - mom is taking a rest

*letter and pictures sent.

[Nancy]

Can is back from the curb.

Bw2 how much of the probs. with helper is b/c she might not get the hours in?
You do not have to answer but some thing to consider.

You've been busy bw2! And Nancy, hope it works out for you!

Dh just walked in and immediately got on the phone.

I feel less scattered. I have two HOA bills to mail and did four other checks that are reimbursements, including one to me for ordering new checks on my credit card. I went ahead and deposited that online. Along the way I cleaned out a printer jam - our printer is old and jams frequently printing checks. I also hung up the damp laundry from the washer.

Since dh is home, and the HOA stuff of off my mind, I'm going to go upstairs in a bit to play.

I've cleaned two areas that were previously decluttered/deep cleaned this month. It doesn't take long to keep the areas maintained. I know me enough to know that if I don't have a weekly card reminding me to LOOK at the area then it will most likely revert to previous status. IYKWIM

I have been diligent today so I'm declaring that it is time to reward myself with an afternoon cup of pebble ice & Diet DR Pepper and go for a drive. I take pleasure from simple things.

[blessedw2]

hello again - gosh I love being here with all of you!

yay on your cleaning d lady! I agree - going over things once a week works. I have not done the for awhile and I am hoping to get back on that routine. good for you!
taking pleasure in the simple things - great!

hi d twins yay on feeling less scattered! glad you were able to clean out the paper jam. yay on hanging up laundry

hi d Nancy - yay on lunch and breaking down branches -

I don't mind answering the questions at all: the helper is here from 8 to 6:00 pm.
she gets lots of help from dd's and I
she gets paid very very well.

no big things after this morning -

dd younger went out for dinner with her d cousin. so happy that they are taking time together.

Two teens are washing dishes. One teen is taking a shower.
Clean dishes....clean body.
It is the small things of life that bring me joy.

I have harvested the final garlic of the 2025 garden. Now I am letting the 46 garlic heads cure for a couple weeks. The phases of 2025 garden seem to be passing fast. Asparagus is done. Strawberries are almost done. Garlic is done. Basil is beautiful because I made the decision to let it flower. Ditto with the dill and its bright yellow flowers. Most of the greens are finished until fall garden. I am somewhat sad to see them end.
However, the flowers and other vegetables growing will be doing their thing for several months and are amazing this year. I genuinely enjoy being in my happy place.

d lady how exciting - garlic harvested!! yes having clean dishes and clean teens
