early start Got the rest of the citrus fertilizer spikes buried, then a couple thin long branches of a tree pruned and bagged, part of paver edging slid over with more garden dirt added behind it and one broken huge paver lifted. by then i decided Miracle gro out front can wait! Glutius Max not going to be happy with all that bending.
Have to take out five more pavers there this week because of tree root and slide rest of edgers over and fill in garden begind it. yuck. need to buy a couple bags of dirt. still a lot of creeping ficus to trim.
So I dyed my hair...why do I hate doing that?...and while waiting to rinse it made the reduced calorie black and blue burgers for later. 1/4c chopped mushroom into microwave a minute, 1.5 T crumbs and 1/2 teas. garlic powder plus pepper to taste. ..mixed with 1/2 pound lean hamburger. divide into four balls. flatten them. put teaspoon of blue cheese on one . put another over it and seal. repeat. Fry or grill like regular burgers.
Going to have that with air fries and applesauce.
Hope your weekend is going well

hi owls. been in my playpen today. keep cutting and rearranging colors to figure out how I want the next block done. didn't get any sewing done.
I was petty much by myself today. don was helping jeana at one of her rentals. an apartment had a broken water pipe.
don sure is glad we don't have any rentals properties.
lin that yard sure keeps you busy. what happens when you can't take care of it anymore. is there a plan b? hope you don't mind my asking.
snow is melting of the roofs.when don came home it was 39 degrees. I had thought about going to the mail box. it is across the street.didn't want to take the chance on a snow packed /slushy street. phyl

Phyl, I have slowly been planting shrubs that grow steadily in a good shape instead of flower gardens, and do most of my flowers in easy to use pots or front of an area easy to reach. The shrubs and trees can be done by someone hired if needed. We have guys who trim the front and blow away leaves every two weeks. they tend to attack stuff with electric trimmers and make it unnatural looking, but I do not do the front. Benind and working outside actually keeps me going with exercise! trick is when to stop and what not to do. we have a special dolly to slide under pots to move them. Bob carries bags if dirt but wayback when he was away on exchange trips sith students, iwould just ooen the bag in the trunk and bring it bit by bit or cut it in halves I could manage.

Hi owls. Thanks for starting Lin. My body would sure not deal well with the yard work. Sure glad we have someone that does ours.
Nice to have decent weather again. Managed to walk Ozzie around the block. Mostly able to avoid the slushy spots. He had to have a bath when we got back.
Took a drive this afternoon. Wanted to find the Place where Daves appts are on Monday. We usually do that so we know where we're going and where we have to park. Stopped at Joanns on the way home. Got the batting I wanted. Also stopped at our local grocery store. They had turkey breasts buy 1 get 1 free. They're big ones so each will be a few meals for us.
Dave had steak and baked potato for supper. I had half a baked potato.
Lin, if you hate dyeing your why do you do it? Nothing like our naturally frosted hair, right Phyl. Sorry, don't mean to be rude. If you like your hair colored then you should have it that way. DD has been telling me for years i should have mine colored.
