Month: May 2017

Alpha and I enjoyed our first Tai Chi class last evening. We are planning to make this a regular thing.

I slept on the sofa bed last night: not bad. Ron’s new mattress is on the truck for delivery today.

PT eval went pretty well yesterday. Scheduled 3 once-a-week sessions for the rest of the month.

Watered new garden yesterday.

Rain today. Got out in time to weed the street side of the fence. Had planned to spread compost but didn’t anticipate so much weeding.

Ron’s new mattress arrived before 3pm. It was nice to be able to set it up early.

Ron had an accident during his recent bout with food poisoning, and we had to dispose of his mattress as a result.

Mashpee couldn’t take it, so we brought it to Bourne.  We found a replacement on Amazon which should arrive in two days.

I did some more grass removal around the gardens on the right side of the house and more pruning of the Autumn Clematis.

I watered the transplants. It looked like we needed a feature for the now empty corner of Alpha’s garden and I remembered we already had one.  Ben carried the cement birdbath base across the yard.  It’s quite nice here whereas it wasn’t all that visible before.

Made chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and salad for supper.

Did some cleanup around the oval yesterday and planted the rest of the tulip bulbs that I’d removed from the roses.

Ron was sick this morning.  We think it was from old turkey baloney that he foraged from the freezer.

Went  with Alpha to Highfield, but it was pouring rain, so we were sent home until next week.  Did some “Wacky Tuesday” shopping at Windfall.  Roads in Falmouth were pretty bad, lots of flooding.

Dug up about 1/3 of the yarrow in the corner garden.  Moved the astilbe in the Emme garden from one corner to another.  Finally planted two begonias that had been soaking so long, they were starting to rot.

Made meat loaf and brown rice for supper.  Drove the kids home.  Dug up the rest of the grass on the edge of the birch garden.  Captain Jack’d the roses and the crabapple.

I finished the last big cleanup chore yesterday, removing grass from inside and around the “bean garden”.

We hauled a load to the transfer station and after limping back, changed sheets and had a late lunch. I rescued a small sack of potatoes that turned out to be okay to eat.

We skipped dinner and watched “The Accountant” and “Bosch”.
