Yay for Friday

Well, the truck is essentially gone, replaced with another Ford E-150. This one has the travel package in it. That means a ton of track lighting, a TV, VCR, I think there's a DVD player, two sets of captain's chairs, and a back bench seat that folds down into a bed. Hubby does have to fix the rod for the door handle on the back doors, because the one screw came out and the rod came apart, but otherwise, it seems to be okay. My little Escort runs okay, but it will be a while before I trust it like I did Victor the Aveo. So at least vehicle-wise, we are doing good, and I can get back to a full schedule of getting things done around here for the business that I need to get done.

Outside, everything is so green, and all the trees are fully leafed out. We are expecting rain again the next couple of days and got some last night, so I have only had to water my tomatoes once this year. They are growing like crazy. But the trees ... oh my gosh, they are so leafy that I can not see the trunks anymore. It is the warm weather jungle time. If we end up moving into town, which is likely, I will miss this time of year here. Though if we can buy a place, I would put in a garden and lots of growing things around the yard to "fence off" the place with a living hedge, and that will give me plenty of greenery. Forsythia, spirea, lilacs, all kinds of flowering hedge plants, along with my fruit and nut trees, my berry bushes and canes and plants and all my vegetables.

Nothing soothes my soul like green and growing things, which is why winter hits me so hard. No green things, and with housecats, it is a bit difficult to have houseplants that they do not try to eat! If I can get a big enough place, there will be a small greenhouse, too. Not just for starting seeds off in the middle of winter so my seedlings will be big and strong by warm weather, but if I get one big enough, I can have a few dwarf citrus fruit trees like oranges and bananas and kiwis so that I can have fruit year-round of some kind.

But since I no longer have to hustle through a minimal amount of work so hubby can get there early and socialize, or so we can do a zillion things as far as vehicle stuff, I can relax a bit and get some real work done. Hugs and love, all, I'm outta here!
