It&#8217;s when you become aware that you&#8217;re dreaming <em>while you&#8217;re in a dream.<\/em> Bob is quite a source of knowledge about that.  We had an interesting conversation about how to develop that skill.  Jesse is also good at it and has a few books in his library that I will also be looking at.<\/p>\n<p>Had a fun lunch with my good friend Jon Paul.  I&#8217;ve been working with his wife, Linda about some pain issues.  Sadly, she had a big fall and got kind of beat up.  I didn&#8217;t get to pray with her today, she&#8217;s on pain meds and was sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>Went to Walmart to pick up some groceries and supplies for another plant project.  I&#8217;m interested in growing Wisteria vines.  I&#8217;ve been doing some research on it and have done a recon on areas that have plants that I could take cuttings from. Today, I got potting soil, some dowels and some growth hormone for root stimulation.  I have about eight small pots that I&#8217;ll start the shoots from.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Yard-Work--4-4-19\/i-mwf7RHq\/0\/0e4dd9e0\/M\/2019040420083734-2571788547305907496_IMG_0208-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nI&#8217;m also thinking about using the blue plastic tubs for growing bedding plants in.  I think that will be better than trying to put soil in such a large area.<br \/>\nI also bought some plastic flowers that I thought might be fun to also &#8220;plant&#8221; in my front area near my door.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Yard-Work--4-4-19\/i-w6FmSjC\/0\/41e1c155\/M\/2019040420083734--5859943720579273010_IMG_0209-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As I was trimming bushes yesterday, I noticed this fungus growing on some of my shrubs.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Yard-Work--4-4-19\/i-ZWsbPwN\/0\/d5950acb\/M\/2019040420083734-1612912674067513389_IMG_0210-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nI already had fungicide in my arsenal of plant stuff, from when the Pink Magnolias had a fungus.

I wore glasses and a bandana around my nose and mouth plus used rubber gloves.<br \/>\nAfter that mission was accomplished, I got the lawn mower out.  But before I fired that up I put in my hearing protection.  It&#8217;s a special type of wax that is normally used for swimming.
