Adult Attention Disorder- Is there really such a thing?

I had the rest of my plantings to do. I grab my planting tools and refuse bag and put it on the boardwalk, go grab the hose and start watering. Got most of the watering done and just had to stop and weed a couple of things. Got the hose and finished watering the items along the driveway and hard to reach areas with the other hose. Turned off the water and then turned it back on. Emptied the dogs and critters water bowl and filled it back up. Okay, now back to the planting. Got the holes dug for the 3 plants and decided the Vinca would be easy to put in. Planted them in with the tomato in the whiskey barrel. I needed some soil for the plants. Walked with the bucket to the North side of the house. The Coral Bells (Heuchera) were almost dead and I couldn't find my painted Japanese Ferns. I dug up the three remaining Coral Bells, put soil in the bucket, weeded the area and put the Coral Bells on top of the soil to carry up front. By this time, Jim decided to take the dogs for a ride. Lacy took off on him and came up to the front yard. I thought she would just come to me, but nope the little bugger didn't. She ran in the street, crossed the street went on her merry way. Ignoring me totally. Jim finally crossed the street (he has trouble walking). Thought we were going to get her, Nope! By this time I am crying! Finally Jim got over close and grabbed her. Thank you Lord!!!! During this episode I hit my hand on the concrete step of the neighbors or something and hurt my hand. Like a sprain. At first thought was broken. I took off my rings due to the swelling. Back to the yard, digging with my left hand and planted the 3 plants. Decided to put some of the Vinca in the corner plot up by the street. First had to clear out the weeds, then I dug out Zoysia grass. Then started to plant the Vinca. Oops, needed more soil to work in, so, back down to fill some into the bucket. After planting those, decided to dig out some of the Zoysia from the area where Crepe Myrtle is planted. By this time my hand is not giving me fits at all so guess it's okay! Reset the rocks and got, oh maybe 6 feet or so and decided to quit. Went with the refuse bag, shovel and garden mat down the side of the house to empty the bag. Stopped along the way because there were so many weeds by the Autumn Olive bush. Yep, I started weeding again all around the Autumn Olive bush then down the fence. Jim called out and said you better come in. LOL! This was an hour later. I emptied the bag of the weeds, walked up the hill and realized I needed to water up front, and so I did! I finally made into the house!

All done




Coral Bells (Heuchera)

Hope I didn't wait to long to move these- they look awful

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                              We used my dad's birthday as a

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin

Winter-Yard Gardens Birds Critters and ME

Winter-the Yard, Birds and Critters and Me by Mary J Williams It's sort of winter but the weather is mild You can be outside Which makes me smile Weeds were pulled and I planted a seed one was a tree If it grows, it will surprise me I have had fun watching the birds an argument between bluebirds and the Robins I've heard Chickadees flying in and the Titmouse too I grab the camera Then off they flew I have a flowerbox sits on the rail It's on the two by six so falling will fail It also can sit on a two by four but mine just has the space The birds walk through the tunnel and disappear without a trace One time, while filling the feeders One of the tunnels had a bird A sparrow was in there  He ran so fast, he was blurred I love watching them  they think the tunnels fun Maybe they get cool If there's a lot of sun. I have to wash the deck  to try and keep it clean with bird seed and poop Dog pee I mean When it's cold outside Or very early morn The dogs do their business
