5-3-10

Took mom to the dentist this morning after
getting the kids on the bus.
Then I took her to Walgreens to get a
prescription and then to Kroger.

Ok if you buy mulch, don't leave it in your
vehicle overnight! The Tracker this morning
smelled like a tractor! Had to fix that in a
hurry! We bought 4 bags over the weekend.
I managed to mulch the side of the house
with the pompass grass which is starting to
grow very quickly. Pompass grass doesn't like
me. It makes me itchy if I come in contact with
it and I break out in red splotches.
It's starting to warm up outside. Putting
down mulch was making me sweat. Supposed
to be about 78 today.

Found mulch at Marc's for $2.50 a bag which
was pretty good compared to $3.50 to $4.00
everywhere else.
To do the whole yard, which is the front and
side of the house along with 3 other flower
beds will run approximately $25 to $27 total,
I'm guessing, for 10 to 11 bags.




After the kids got home from school
I headed out to the garden to do some planting.
All three 55 gallon water barrels are full.
So that will help out with watering all
these plants.
Still need to find stakes before putting
in the tomatoes. Also we plan to put up
some sort of fence around the garden to keep
the rabbits out. We have a few one of which
was out in the driveway this morning. They
tend to come out early morning or late evening.





Went to the South side this evening to
check out a drywall repair job.
Tony is trading drywall services for
transmission work.

On the way home since it was getting late
we stopped in Toxic Hell to eat.
Mistake, lol. Does a number on the stomach
leaving for a chilly ride home with
the windows down.




We kind of took the back roads to get to
and from the South end due an accident on
33 backing up traffic.
We passed by the airport and decided
to stop in the viewing area to let the
kids watch a few planes take of and come in.

The video I took was an airforce plane
that looked like he was coming in for a landing.
He came down low but never landed.

Returned home about 8:30pm and no sooner
got in the door when mom called.
She said there was an accident on her
corner. We all knew it was due to
running a stop sign as that's a problem
on our street along with speeding.

The SUV ran the stop sign and
spun the other car like a pit maneuver.
As far as I know no one was hauled away
in the ambulance and everyone checked out ok.





Ok well I am off here for this evening.
We're watching Avatar for the second time
because we have to return it to our friend
tomorrow that we borrowed it from.
It is a very good movie.
