Onions

I planted a bunch of onions this afternoon wherever I could poke  a hole and stick them in.  They are long overdue for planting so I don't know how they will do.  Onions are pretty hardy 'though and if you forget them over winter they will come right back up again.

I also pulled out a few "volunteer" potatoes from the ground.  Not a lot, but enough for one meal.  There are more out there; I just need  to find them.

I was going to mow the yard today and got the mower out and filled it with gas.  It wouldn't start.  The battery is dead so it is on the little charger.  It takes about eight full hours to charge so I won't be mowing much until tomorrow.

I didn't waste my time 'though.  I have been busy cleaning off the fence line.  That is a some job.  Most of the vegetation growing along and on the fence comes from the other side.  There is Virginia Creeper and Morning Glory the length of both fences.  It is the kind of vegetation that just takes over a fence line and creeps right into the lawn.  It will ruin a fence and cause it to rust out.

The new neighbors say their kids can't play in the back yard because they are all allergic.  What am I?  Non allergic?   If I don't get out and do the job my mower gets all tangled up in the vines and that makes it more difficult for me.  Plus, it is a great harboring place for mosquitoes, chiggers and insects .

My Plum tree is so productive, but the wind knocks the plums off onto the ground before they are ripe, and then the ants get them, then the flies.  I am going to trim it back just slightly...sometime.

I added this picture from a previous post.  I have been buying them at yard sales and at the Good Will Store.  They are cast iron frying pans and a couple of small ash trays.  They sort of fell in a random order, in the center of the post

The hard, physical work causes me a little discomfort, and then my "everything" hurts.  I took a half of a Lortab around noon, but when they are gone, they are gone.  I have been nursing them along for quite a long while, now.  I doubt I can get them renewed as this whole area is drowning in drugs and meth. labs.  Oh Well.

I am/was too tired to cook and then clean up after myself so I made a fast trip to Wendy's...and no dishes to wash up.  Thank you,  Wendy's. Your just too good to me!

I have been outside most of the day, from about 9:00 and on.  As Alice says, the best laid plans have to change according to the needs.  I really wanted to get the grass cut.  Tomorrow is to be about 90 F. and I don't like working in the heat: I can feel my B/P thumping right along.

So, tonight I guess I will go to bed earlier than usual and recover from a busy day.  No, I didn't get my Split Pea Soup started, either.  Dang...shoot me with a pea shooter...remember them?
