Lordy one can get lost easily coming home when you don't have any plans...stopped at the Innisfil Outlet Mall, of course I couldn't leave without donating money..so, found at Black and Decker a 3 way tool, scrapes old paint off, detail sander, reg. sander and can be used for drill, thought my step father might like it..needed something for fathers day..what do you get when they have everything..I know, the 2nd everything..lol..know he'll appreciate the gesture...then off to Barrie we went, went and bought some crystals to make more coolant bandana's..if it's going to rain, it would be a great project for me to do..then I couldn't drive right past the nursery, walked around, head held high, plants down low but came home with another car full..oh Ruby I'm just so excited, the had castor bean plants, about 2 to 3' tall so I purchased 2 of them, a flat of different coleus, potatoe vine and black eye susan vines..when I got home you could hear the thundering far off so got everything planted and came in..poor Sailor is going crazy here at my feet, panting and whinning..poor girl...going back Ruby to my castor bean plants, I didn't plant them as yet, just set them in a cool place, trying to decide what's better, shade, full sun or shad and sun mixture, what do you think...

As for declutering, I can relate, when I moved after Roger died and again 4 years ago I basically gave or threw out most of what I had to make a clean start so please tell me how I ended up with just as much...

Passed about 3 garage sales on the way home and talked myself out of stopping, good girl Betty..deserve a treat so perhaps I'll go to one or 2 tomorrow..lol - just what I need...

As soon as I came in Elizabeth from Ireland called me, I could barely make her out as she was crying so heavily, she's distraught about Janet getting the terminal verdict..I tried to console her as best I could, but I have difficulties with heavy accents over the telephone, hearing must be going...we've been friends for decades and I try to encourage her to talk via msn and that way no accent to contend with, sure do hope I was sympathetic when I was suppose to be, will write and send her an e-mail tonight before I retire..said I'd send her the candle sight where you light it and everyone prays for your beloved...

Marion, you know if I go to Florida to mom's at Christmas again I'm surely going to make a detour and visit with you, few others along route for tea or coffee...that will make my trip...yes Ruby, can make the detour and pick you up...

Bev, he looks great..maybe you caught it just in time...what's the weather doing in your neck of the woods, right now it's thundering like crazy..am sure lightning isn't far behind, perhaps I'll finish this post and unplug computer for the evening...proud you should be, I'm off to look at them or perhaps I'll make it in the morning just incase the storm picks up...

Walked the yard for 1/2 hr..tomorrow is weeding if weather co-operated..here's a few photo's...it truly is now starting to come alive...
