Podcast! Calls! Newsletter! 5.31.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:33 pm  

I like this!

OYB!

EspaƱol!

The end result of my labor so far.

This was all that was left of the squirrel I left there yesterday.

I spend about 30 minutes a day doing Duolingo in Spanish.

Went to Stone Mountain. I wrote (talk to text) my newsletter on my phone.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Take Cover.” It’s a good one.

Great talk with my Mom. We usually have a conversation on Sunday.

I continue to listen to books on tape in Spanish. Can’t say I’ve liked this series very much. I’ll probably go back to Harry Potter. I find it more amusing to listen to.

Went to the bank to deposit checks. Amen.

I wrote my newsletter at Stone Mountain. I come home to use my Mac to produce and lay it out.

Printed labels.

Shifted the recording I made onto my computer.

Kathy’s sister Ann went to the hospital today. Don’t think she was admitted.

Grandgirls! Sleep Over! Monkey Grass! 5.29-30.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:34 am  

Grandgirls slept over, so the blog is combined for the last two days!

I liked these!


I’ve been playing Horizon Zero Dawn again. I have to admit this is my favorite game of all time.

Always learning.

OYB!

Keep going!

Talked with my buddy Anthony.

Keep listening!

After two decades of living at my house wondering if grass would ever grow in my front yard, I’ve decided to go with what I know works: Monkey grass. SO I’m planting rows and will let it fill in, then start cutting it. It’s too shady for any other type of grass.

I dig it up from my back yard and plant it in my front yard.

The girls come to help, especially Everly.

Lots of digging, but I’ve figured out the fastest way to do it.

Keeping their roots wet until I plant them.

Hot Chocolate!

The whipped cream was a special treat.

They went to sleep about 9:15 PM.

Cooler! That’s why I did so much yard work.

Turn to the Sun.

And study!

OYB!

Once the girls leave, I clean the driveway, deck, vacuum the house, sweep the kitchen and clean the glass doors. Ashley and Miles picked them up around 11:45 AM.

After vacuuming, I clean out all the parts. That keeps the suction working great.

I’m always researching something. Including how to do the yard work better.

I go through the house and try to find all the stuff the girls will need to go back home. Includes clothes we don’t think fit them any more.

Went to Ann’s house to take her some meds.

I saw a dead squirrel by the street. Took it to my yard for the hawk and crows to eat.

I’ve been interested in these hand held synth/loopers. Finally got one.

Listened to this while I was doing yard work.

Just keep planting.

I’m alway thinking about better ways to do things. This is for a trashcan to roll around on. I put a towel on it and roll around while I’m planting. I needed something lower than the cans I normally sit on. Too much bending over.


Watering the fresh transplants.

I’m making curved lines to seem more like it naturally would spread.
