Moved one of the little evergreens to the South East edge of the back yard.

Transplanted a few more dear ones from the oval to the “U”.

Vacuumed both vehicles.

Watched it last night: inspiring.

Switching mattresses with Ron seems to have helped his back.

Got a call yesterday about remote work.

Tried to do two big projects today but was too tired to finish both.

We did get the new mattress pad on the double and remade the beds.

Set up the little plastic fences around the tulips after Ron pulled out the metal stakes. Needs to be tweaked a little but will be nice.

Ron switched out the remaining wood fence stakes for metal ones, but reinstalling the hardware fabric was more than we could handle today.

Brought a beautiful blueberry/peach coffee cake from Washashore to the Winslows. Laura sent me home with two huge slices. Heated up tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.

Took a run to Dartmouth to pick up a gift at the BB&B. Dropped it off in Wareham, shopped at the new Job Lot had a big lunch at Barnicle Bill’s. Watched part of the Flynn hearing.

Finished spreading the compost! Ron mowed the front and side yards. Robert reminded us at 6:15 that we needed to pick him up.

Had a bad night last night. By the time I got up, Ron had made coffee and grabbed the paper.

Picked up Robert and the Edgewater transfer station stuff.

Ron and I did the transfer station and moved a good portion of the compost pile. I hope to finish tomorrow. We ate pretty light today, a salad for lunch and sandwich meat for dinner.

Pruned the rhodies, dug up an azalea that didn’t make it and transplanted a fellow that was getting crowded from the oval to the “U”. I think it’s the one with feathery purple flowers, similar to a Sea Holly or a Dianthus.

Put compost around the hydrangeas in the “U”. Miss Kims are budding nicely.

Something is attacking the crabapple.

I made pancakes and bacon for breakfast and took us out to lunch at Bobby Byrnes. Bought Ron a treat from Cupcake Charlie’s.

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”.
