Hi Potties! Might as well check in since I'm up. A little over an hour till the NASCAR Xfinity at Darlingtonl.
Max - Can you post a picture of your yard? Love to see what you're working with. Is the vining plant a madevilla? I think one of those would recover with food & water if any of it survived. I never give up on one until it's a dead stick!
Katie - I'll see you sticks & raise you several limbs. We've had 3 days with rain &, sadly, some heavy wind. More on that later. I've blown bits & pieces of leaves, twigs & miscellaneous debris off both decks 3 times between Thurs. afternoon & Fri. evening.
Congratulations on selling any kind of silver. I thought that market had died when the hot market for gold & such eased off a couple of years ago. Good for you!It was a dismal month at the booth - didn't cover the rent for the 1st time in over a year. Kathie said the whole store sales were slow. Not a lot of consolation but at least misery loves company.
In the wee hours of Thurs. AM when we were having some rain & very heavy winds I heard a loud noise outside but couldn't tell where it came from. Looked & saw nothing amiss on either deck so went blissfully to bed. Late Thurs. afternoon I got up & decided to drive up to collect the mail & the flea drops order from Chewey. Hopped in Kermit & his whole right side of the windshield was bashed. Called my Insurance co. to find we had a $500 deductible & very conveniently the repair estimate was $474 plus change. Made an appointment to get it fixed today & the wonderful man from Safelite got here an hour early - I hadn't looked closely at the damage & he spotted a fair sized dent across the hood where the limb (as big as my arm) had bounced after trashing the glass. We cancelled & since the insurance claim office & my local body shop are closed for the weekend, I'll be in touch with both of them on Mon. Sure don't want to pay TWO deductibles. PITA!!
The first batch of plants that I put out last weekend seem to be settling in nicely. At least the 3 days of rain agreed with them. I haven't put out the latest plants yet but I have started putting them where they'll be planted in the next few days. Might as well let them start getting used to their new homes until I get around to putting them in the ground.
Enough for now. Need to call Zac & see if he has a minute to bring the new big bag of cat litter in for me.
Everybody take care & enjoy the changeable spring weather - I'm in long sleeves today after several 80* days. Later.
Susan
