I finally got the internet connected this afternoon and inside the house will be painted on Tues. Arborist coming on Tues too and the landscaper Thu.
I have a brand-new toilet brush, gardening gloves. I bought 3 bird feeders, for sunflower, thistle seeds and nectar, since there is one humming bird that stays all winter. I’ve delighted to hear trains, especially at night. I grew up in earshot of a train yard and love the sounds that come with them.
And a litter box, litter and cat food. And a cat bed that sits on the floor in front of the gas fireplace I plan to put in next fall.
I’m total disorganized. I keep getting up and looking to see what the bush is, or where the rain runs in the garage door. I’m writing something and I see a bird I have to look up.
My magnificent gate turns out not to be electric, although it was in the past, If I leave it open most of the time it will shade out the laurel hedge behind it. They mow the lawns in the winter here sometimes! I’m wishing for a zoysia lawn, they grow slower than other grasses. Then I’m up to look at the plants on the wall of other side of the canyon. I own the land across the creek and up the other side of the canyon. I’m thinking it might be cool to get something colorful or noticeable planted there to look at from here. I have to hold myself back from planning any plantings until I’ve been here long enough to figure out what happens through a whole year.
