ORK AT HOME...

I did and didn't want to go out today so I stayed home and went out....into the yard! There is an endless list of "need to do's" so I tackled a couple of them.  My back gate the one I come and go thru had sagged and it has a spring on it so it will slam shut...since the dogs could go out that gate, although they know better, If it's left open a stray dog could come in, so it's important it be closed.  So this latch will lock the gate, when it slams shut...it was not working right so I got that put back right the screws were loose and the gate was dragging the ground, so I raised it up an inch and tightened up all the screws, and oiled the latch and now it slams shut again. 

Then I took off my windshield wipers, and painted the metal arm, cleaned up the windshield as best I could...and then replaced the wipers one is a 20 inch and one is a 19 inch, soooo One is wrong, I think the 19 is wrong.  I also put my little toiletry pack in the van so I wont be stuck without a toothbrush again, and I checked the engine oil.  It was good. 

Then I dug up the planting bed by the screen porch and planted my knock out rose bushes in the ground...they have been in pots for 6 yrs so Im going to try them in the ground...I dug it up good put them in and that's as far as I got I need to mulch the bed, and tidy it up a bit...hope they will grow now they generally bloom all year so I expect them to do as well at least.  

I did a repair to the broken bird feeder, it seems to be working, and other little things, brushed one side of Flossie she wouldn't roll over to let me do the other side and I didn't want to force her, she is having a really hard time with her legs...

I meant to trim Annie's nails but forgot...so tomorrow.  

And I found more photos on my CD's to put back into some photo-less posts, did one really big one...it was a lot..but now that one is done its a 2018 post...

2011 12, 13, 14, 15, gonna be very difficult...but Im gonna try to do as many as I can. 

And that was a busy day, and Im beat and my back hurts from the digging.  It was sunny and beautiful a little cold this morning, and tonight it will be 35F.   

Its always good to get some things done.  

I ate left overs on the front deck in the warm sun...felt so good.
