Betty, I had the same reaction to your comment. You will never finish. Why do I know, because I am the same way. But I am getting better. My house is larger do my landscape area is smaller. That is probably a good thing. I have one area that I sit in the most, so that area is my main garden bed in the back landscape. The majority of my plants in the back are in pots in that area. So much easier to garden. If something has a problem, I just pull the pot, put it in the greenhouse and put in a different pot.

Susan, good for you tackling the damp soil to plant your garden. I have tomato plants and a bed with lettuce and basil. Gave a friend a big bag of lettuce yesterday when she left. My parents always grew a very large garden and gave a lot away. That was their satisfaction. Giving a friend something fresh from the garden.

Linda, even larger cities are low on product. I had a double oven go out in a rental and had to order it from Lowe\'s on line and it took 2 weeks to get here. Lucky I have a patient tenant. Of course, my daughter did all the leg work on that one. I would be kinda lost without the help of my daughter and her family.

Pat, when Vern and I first got the two kittens, we were laughing all of the time. They were just so fun to watch. That cat is so blessed to find you as his new family. He is one lucky cat. You have a lot of work ahead of you putting together the cat tower. Vern and I put together our last one and it was challenging. You need to get him a box. Not to big. They love to get in boxes.

Thinking this virus is a hoax is crazy. I ventured out last Wednesday and had the smog done on my car and the oil changed and did not have to get out of my car. Then I went to Lowe\'s for plants, then to Star Nursery for plants and finished pant hunting at Home Depot. My final stop was at trader Jo\'s . Had to wait in line outside to enter Trader Jo\'s. During all of these visits, I wore my mask. I also have a baggy full of clorax wipes. I was gone about 3 hours. When I was leaving the parking lot of Trader Jo\'s, my car would not go after I had backed up. The harder I pressed on the gas, nothing. I was locking to see if I had placed the parking brake on when I discovered I had had my foot on the brake all long. I thought, oh no, I am losing it. When I got home, it was a struggle to get everything out of my car and put away. I had picked up two flats of plants for a neighbor and I needed to deliver them because her son was coming over to plant them. I placed the flats by the driveway and while backing out, ran into her streetscape tree. Did not damage to my car or the tree but gave to cause to think I was really losing it. That night I went to bed at 9 because I was so tired,. I was fine the next day. While I was gardening yesterday, I realized it was the mask. I had a hard time breathing while wearing the mask and got really hot.
I think I fried my brain from not breathing right. All of these stores are close together, so there was little time I did not have the mask on in the three hours. So now you guys know my secret.

First photo is a ground cover that has overgrown the pot and trailing down the side of the planter. Second is the area I replanted and moved pots yesterday. Everything in this area is in pots. Second is a succulent, which I have many, that just loves where it is at.
