I’ve been getting out at 6 am to catch cooler temperatures: we HAD to get some pruning done. One thing with a yard with many trees and bushes and such—if you don’t tend them in spring (and we didn’t) it gets way worse by July. <\/p>\n
I also managed NOT to kill myself, but it was close: we needed to cut some Virginia Creeper at the front retaining wall, and I’m the one who’s best with the weedwhacker—and atop the bed atop the wall, I lost my balance and fell, fortunately into a ‘burning bush’, not the 3′ drop down to the lava rock below. Unfortunately it was at a head-downward slant, so I’m yelling for Jane to help get me up: I’m tangled with the weedwhacker and a juniper next to the bush; and it hurt. Gotta watch where I put my feet.
\nThat was a potentially far more painful one.<\/p>\n
The tank is getting along: got the fishes ordered. It’ll take a while because they have to be quarantined for observation and treatment if they have anything.<\/p>\n
Best of all Jane and I working together are finally beginning to bring some order to the upper house. The basement is a mess—we have SO much stuff inherited first from inheritances —all mixed with sentimental stuff, so it had to wait a little to get sorted. But it is time and it is getting done—complicated by a four-footed inheritance from Jane’s sister Lynn: Tanner, a Siamese who hates our other cats and now won’t tolerate Finity that we got to keep him company after his brother kitty died. Now we’ve got a basement cat, 3 ceiling cats, and it’s impossible to clean up the basement as we’d like due to Cat Wars….<\/p>\n
But we’re making headway. And I’m not flinging myself off any walls. I’m resolved to be more cautious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
