SAD......

It looks like because of dog pee and tramplings, I am only getting the one spring flower in the back yard. Lots of leaves, no flowers. Guess I didn't get the fencing up soon enough. Oh well, last year they were beautiful.

The front yard looks more promising as Trouble doesn't get out there much.

Most of the ivy in the back that I was training to outline the walkway is also dead. I suspect Mike might have had something to do it's demise along with the dog. He hates ivy!!!

Almost Spring

Had to fence off my bulb areas to keep the dog from trampling the flowers as they pop up. He's not too happy with me and got tangled in the fencing a few times. His eyesight is not real good so I guess he has trouble seeing a green wire fence.

Last week I had a "job from hell" stripping 2 large rooms of paper. I persisted and got it all down but it was so depressing because the people seemed to think I was possibly incompetent. Had to use a steamer to get the backing off and the woman didn't like the fact that it was messy and water was allowed to touch her wood floors. I did my best to use drop cloths and to clean up right away but she was still not happy. Oh well, it's done and I know I'll never hear from them again!!! I hope.

Tomorrow night I am going to Charlestown with Rheba, Betty and Bucky to play the slots. Haven't gone with them for months because I haven't had much work so couldn't justify wasting the money.

If I win, I'll report in. If I lose, I'll commit hari kari. Not really because I'm only taking $100. There's always that small chance that I'll actually come home with some left over. The seafood buffet will be the hi-light.
