Can't "JUST DO" Anything!

I am back in the house! I was "just going to do" the watering. I don't know how to "just do" anything. 
I ended up pulling out weeds and grass from around the pots along the sidewalk, then decided to move the pots, dug all the grass and weeds under and around them. Have a couple more to do but, that will be another day! 
Plus, while watering, I see these things growing that aren't suppose to be there and I just have to stop and pull them out. Then you end up with a pile and I went down the drive and got the old container and lugged it up the hill and filled half of it with all that stuff. LOL!
 I can't "just do", one thing. 
Then, lol, I interrupted myself, while getting the shovel to dig out the grass and stuff, saw the bird seed cylinder on the workbench, so stopped and got the saw and cut it into 6 pieces. Brought the shovels and the seed up front. Took the seed in the house and to the deck and decided to get the meal worms and put them out. 
By that time the water had already been splashed out of the birdbath, so, filled it back up. 
Then back to the front to water some more. Neighbor was watering and I went to ask him a question. Noticed seeds on his Red Japanese Maple. Discussed propagation with him. Then noticed there were some on my tree. Have never seen them before. Grabbed one. When I was heading to water the stuff along the driveway, I thought, those are perennial and probably need a cold period. I took a small pot, filled it with soil, took the double seed pot popped it in half, and after dampening the soil, popped the two halves in it. 
Finished watering. 
Took the pot in the house, had to stop and refill the water in the birdbath, again! Then in the house and got some plastic wrap and covered the pot and popped it in the freezer. 
Just set a reminder to take it out of the freezer in 30 days. Going to wait on doing another until they dry up and fall.
It has been two hours since I started outside the first time!

As I type this, I realized I did a little more. I dug out some potatoes out of a pot. Not many in there but a large seed potato was and still looked like it was alive. I had an empty pot up front, where all the borers got in the squash, so had pulled the dead plants out. I took out the trellis and planted that seed potato in there. Who knows, it just might grow.
I took the trellis and put it in a pot and partially in the ground, as there was a Cardinal climbing vine in it going all over so thought it might like the trellis to crawl on. 
Besides taking pictures of my Eastern Bluebirds. The looked like they had been in the birdbath.

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-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
