Leaves! Shoes! Feeders! 12.27.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:23 pm  

Yesterday may have been my highest one day score in Duolingo.

Listened to Piolin last night.

Supposed to have rainy weather later today.

Still looking into better rates on auto insurance.

OYB!

EspaƱol!

Finished up the leaf project today. Cleaned the NE side of my property.

I used my rake. Only had to blow the road clean.

Looks better.

I’m leaving part of it unraked. I’m also letting the mound of leaves decompose in place. Over the years I’d like the soil to be built up there

I brought a cutting of Plumeria back from Texas. I’d been trying to get it to root for about the last six weeks. I opened it up today and it showed no evidence of trying to put out roots. One of the videos I watched mentioned that the cutting needed to be kept at around 80 degrees. The room I’ve had it in has been down to the mid 50s. I think that’s what the problem is. I’ll try again when it warms up.

The area around my back door had a lot of leaves. I cleaned that and redid the St. Francis shrine.

I thought this little polypore was a beautiful color of yellow/orange.

Over the last few years, I’ve gotten into cleaning my shoes regularly as well as painting them with white leather paint. My shoes pretty much always look great. Even my work shoes. I didn’t used to be like that at all. Another big change is my life is not wearing flip flops regularly. I only use those around a hot surface pool area.

You’d think by the numbers I’d be #1 for sure this week, right? But Jacob in 4th place made 11,000 and 9,000 points last Saturday and Sunday. Not sure he’ll put in that kind of effort this week.
