Brain Training!

Studied Spanish!

Hebrew! Just doing it on the Sabbath has really helped me remember all the letters.

Westside BC!

Pastor Ben spoke on the importance of Calvary. Amen! When I was in Israel, I wanted to go see Golgotha, the place of the skull. Wasn’t allowed to. It’s now a Muslim cemetery.

Planted my two cherry blossom trees. It was hard work. Digging the holes!

Quite a lot of rocks.

Placement!

I filled the hole with high quality garden soil.

My procedure was add soil. Water it and tamp it down with my hand. Then add another layer. That keeps air from getting trapped in the soil. At least that how my Mom taught me to do it!

Then I cover it with the soil from the hole. I try to build a small area around it to hold water.

Then I rake the rest of it evenly in the yard and take out the rocks and weeds.

And water it down thoroughly to even it out.

Very happy with the new additions! I planted them further back from the road than I did with the Pink Magnolias and Gardenias. They need more space. Don’t want them crowding into the road.

My azaleas have been spectacular this year.

While I had the hose out, I washed the pollen off the side of the house and in the garage area.

Part of the challenge was to stretch my hose all the way and twist it so that it lays flat again. It gets kinks otherwise.

Also rinsed off the pollen from the driveway.

Scrubbed the garage floor once I rinsed it out.

Ton of pollen.

Looks great! I’ll work on the first mowing of the season this week. Mulching those leaves will reduce them to soil soon.

Then got my Gorilla Cart out and hauled sticks and big limbs to my recycling area in my back yard.

Lots of movement!


Over 3.5 hours in all.

These old shoes will be retired soon as I get new ones and the ones I wear now will become my work shoes.

Admin duties now.

Since starting the Sleep Cycle app, one thing I’ve noticed is that no matter when I go to sleep, I still wake up around 8:00 am. I may doze after that but not always likely. So in order to really get the rest I need, I should go to sleep earlier, like 10:30pm at the latest. I also found that it takes normally about thirty minutes for me to go sleep after I turn my lights out.

It’s all about learning!

Mileage!
