NEW BACKYARD!

WEDNESDAY
10-17-2018

Got up at 6AM.

We dressed and took dogs for a walk.

I started lattes & hubby made eggs.

Then I started doing Waldorf salad. Very difficult to wake up this morning.

Wilson was barking at the construction workers next door.

Then hubby watched his automotive shows.

Darryl came with a helper to do our backyard! Yippee!

Landscaper Arriving

Darryl Bringing in Rock

We talked to him about plants that we saw at Star Nursery yesterday. He said that he would unload everything and we could go see the plants and call him to ask if they would be ok to plant.

Went to Star Nursery about 9:45AM. We got some Aloe Vera plants - Tiger Aloe, Delta Lights Aloe, and Campfire Jade.

Darryl told us to get the Dwarf Pink and Red Oleanders. The dogs helped pull the cart thru Star Nursery. The lady at the checkout was adoring Ben.

Watched an Air Force plane fly overhead while leaving Star Nursery.

Then we drove to Ace Hardware so hubby could buy some 1x2's for the base of the cat tower.

Dogs and I waited in the truck for him.

We drove home. Darryl was there already. We pulled in the driveway with the Dually and gave the plants to Darryl. He said that the Aloe would have to be put in pots as they will not survive the winter.

He will plant the Oleander.

Darryl placed the plants in the spots to plant them.

Landscapers worked until 2:30PM.

Hubby worked on the Cat Tower.

I submitted the information on our warranty to Pulte.

Went to get mail and walk dogs at 1:30PM.

Stan, our neighbor, came over to ask hubby to pick up a bar for him that he had purchased at the Consignment store downtown. They agreed that Stan would come over tomorrow. 

We sat down and watched tv for a while to relax.

Then at 5:15PM, we walked the dogs again. Loaded dogs into Dually. Drove to the Mesquite Pharmacy to have hubby's prescription transferred.

Went to Walmart to pick up milk, copy paper, & file folders.

Unloaded groceries at home and hubby let Ben out of truck and he darted into the road after some people with dogs. Nice neighbors, but told hubby he cannot let Ben outside without a leash.

We had dinner from Walmart - Calzones.

I was very tired at 7:30PM.

We watched Monty Python for a while. I took a hot bath, shaved my legs, and was in bed by 9PM.

Hubby walked dogs later and came to bed at 11PM.
