A Beautiful Day

It was so nice out today, that I thought it would be nice to be outside instead of
painting, which probably was'nt to smart since I don't have that many days during the week to get the basement done. J mowed our grass and he always does the lady's
next door,so I worked in the flower beds. It was so relaxing to me,to me that is'nt work.
I put in about 60 more bulbs.. tulips,Iris,crocus & daffodils, cleaned up some of the weeds that grew since the flood, and put away my hanging baskets. I'm not sure how many more nice days we will have before it gets cold..so I had to take a break from the basement. Zesa and Ta went shopping at the Mall with the kids, so it was nice to be in the Sun shine for the afternoon!!!!! I got the front of the house decorated for Halloween, it looks good

not enough time

I know that I have'nt updated my blog since my birthday,
but I had alot going on. I was reminded last night when I talk to my daughter in law last night that I have'nt updated in a while. I feel like I have neglected everyone because of this flood.
After all the clean up, we had to get the paint off the walls because it was peeling. As we got the peeling off the basement walls it started to mold, so the cleaning
started over. Zesa has been so much help in cleaning and painting.. don't know what I would have done without her. Just getting the peeling paint off was a job and what a mess it made. I had a melt down in the the basement one night --thank god I was by myself and one one saw me... but the mess was to much, but I got over it and life goes on. Zesa and J painted about 3 quarters of the walls in the last two days and it looks good. I'm home alone today so I think I can get alot of it done today. It is just had to work and get it done, we just need to get it done so we can get things
done before the snow comes and we get everything back in the back in the house from the garage. Well I need to get to work, hopefully I can update more often.
