Saturday, February 27th., 2021…… Slow weekend. As usual, I don’t
make too many plans for shopping or much else on the weekends. But the weather
is nice. I made breakfast at home and
didn’t take a vehicle out of the yard all day!
I did a few loads of laundry and watched tv most of the day.
I think I’m done looking for the
fireplace/tv cabinet for this season. Most all of the sales are over and stock
is low and most places have put them away in favor of Spring. Our Lowes and
Home Depot both have patio furniture and BBQs as well as rows and rows of riding
mowers outside now. There will be a lot of folks spending their stimulus checks
on yard equipment soon, I’ll bet. This
is the one I wanted and it’s from Wayfair.
Sunday, February 28th., 2021…… Another great day! I was up and out with butthead and then got a
text from my sister. I went and picked her up to go to Shirley May’s for
breakfast and she took her smoke detector with us so that, after, we could continue
on to Albany and got to Home Depot and Lowes to get a replacement. I took
advantage of the trip and looked at laundry room cabinets. I’m finding they are
not commonly in stock so I may have to order online. This is the one I probably
will get.
Monday, March 1st., 2021……
We are in our third day in a row with nice weather. I love it! I had no plans today, so I decided to clean
the main bathroom and then I ran the small dust vac around the house to get all
of the ‘Rylee hair’ picked up. Boring day but at least that’s done for a while! I think I will follow what my sister does and
will be looking for someone to come in and clean on a regular schedule.
I went out to the front yard and
cut a dead ‘hanger’ branch that had broken during a wind storm last month. I
cut it up and put it in the trash and then went out and ‘tested’ the lawn. It
is still way too soggy to even consider mowing. I think I have another month or
more before I can mow again. We’ll see. My doctor neighbor across the street
had his mower out today but I saw he was pulling a sprayer and hitting his
fence posts and such, killing his weeds. I had a couple of burritos for lunch
and I wasn’t in the mood for a big meal for dinner, so I just cut up some
potatoes and fried them up. Rylee shared. TV until bedtime.
Tuesday, March 2nd., 2021…… Again, another beautiful day here
in Oregon! We got up to the 60s today. Two of my neighbors have now mowed their
lawns. The one I could see looks terrible, with rows of dug up dirt! My lawn is even wetter than theirs so I won’t
be mowing anytime soon! Besides, I still need to get my black Sears tractor up
to Cascades Outdoor so they can sharpen the blades and change the oil. The
Husqvarna is sitting for the time being. This is the one Kirk and I own
together and he has a new zero turn too so he’s not using it at all. So, it may
be up for sale this season. I left the house and went over to my sisters to
hang up a board. This is something that Chuck gave her. It’s black walnut and
was cut on his mother’s home in Oklahoma many years ago. She wanted it mounted
on the wall so we did that this morning.
I stopped on the way there and got
some more stainless steel bolts and nuts for the piece I am attaching to the
boat guides. When I left sis’s house, our landscape guy, Justin, practically followed
me back to the house. He brought his plate compactor and finished up the gravel
in the carport area. It looks really good!
