Good Morning "bugs"...well yesterday was a cosmic day for me, it just seemed that all things were great...got the house all cleaned, even did some windows..then they came to shampoo my rugs. I spent the rest of the afternoon working in the yard and finally finished up the on corner of the yard that has been "my problem corner" for years.

This corner and has a tree there and a very large patch of ivy, that has become "straggerly" over the years and this winter the snow didn't do it much good. It also is a catch place for leaves etc. I srarted to cut it back about two weeks ago but I was still unhappy with it, so I finally pulled it all out. I moved three big hostas to there, put in two small boxwood and a couple of golden tipped junipter and a few fern...Then I mulched the whole area and I am so very pleased with the outcome.

By 6:30 last night the house was cleaned, the rugs were cleaned and the yard looked so nice. DH and the pups were upstate so I could jusr sit back and enjoy all this alone.

For the moment, no one was having a problem and I truly was thankful for all these little blessings. I'm real easy to please, its truly the little things for me.

On top of that Remy's surgery went very well and he was home recuperating. I came in from the yard I was tired and very dirty but happy, I took a shower and made myself a big salad and I made it through friends but fell asleep soon after.

We're suppose to have rain the next two days but I have some indoor projects that need doing..

Oh...almost forgot, the dentist office called and my bridge finally arrived, so I made an appointment for Saturday morning

Hope you all enjoy your day....

Val

Good morning Val. I hope the rest of the weekend is as smooth and enjoyable as yesterday.

Someone on the board mentioned their neighbor digging up the lawn and planting ivy. I thought this would be a problem and worse if it crept into neighboring yards;I had read that ivy can harbor mold and mildew.

Glad to hear that Remy is doing fine. Now enjoy your weekend. Kathey

Indeed a cosmic (love that!) day for you, Val. Gosh, I wish I could say my house and yard are in the shape yours are in. Way to go! Now you can relax this weekend, or do something fun. Glad to hear Remy is doing well too. All is right in your world. Enjoy! Love, BB
