Last week pretty much blew me away.  I stayed out there and just worked until I couldn't do anymore.  After Monday-Friday of that, I had nothing left on Saturday.  I went out there, looked at everything and then went to install the mailbox.

The concrete wasn't set, but I decided that since the weight of the box would be on top of the post pushing down, I could still safely install it on the post.  Normally I would just wait until I'm 100% sure it's set, dried out and not going to have to start over.  But, that pesky postcard from Google is coming and I needed to be sure the box is there, ready and waiting.  I need that Google account.

Anyway, there has been lots of rain -good for the grass to grow. I am going to put out another 100 pounds of seed I have left today.  Over the existing grass - a light seeding to try and thicken it and also over the far rear of the back in lots. I have grass going maybe 10 feet back. Beyond that it's just dirt.  Yea, I know, I "should have" seeded it before.  Priorities.  Time. Energy.  

Well, maybe cancel that.  I'll have to check the weather. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and allegedly it's going to be a gully washer.  A waste of time and money to seed it when the rain is just going to wash it away.  However, that area is where all the seed would go to when it does wash it away. I dunno, I'll just have to make a call on it when I get there this morning.  

I think Marc is coming for half a day today.  I was going to light up the burn piles but I suspect everything is still quite wet. That leaves just doing a lot of cleanup work.  Sticks everywhere, I need all of that gone.  Tomorrow may be a rain day, I'm try to get as much cleanup done today as possible.  If it is a rain day, I'll just spend it going over the software again - and again - I'm trying to learn all the different aspects to it. There is a lot to learn.  There are dozens of training videos as well.  

I need to write down what's left to do.  Add up all the costs and see how that is going to leave me financially The big one is gravel - more gravel gag - and getting the weeds cleared on the rest of the land.  I just ordered a dispenser for the dog waste bags, just need a trash can.  I want more picnic tables - I'll get them as I can afford them.  Oh,; and the walking trails.  Just need to do a final clean up.  A good, solid day should finish that off.  

Wait. Hopefully tomorrow it does rain. I need to get Christmas shopping done and over with!  

I'm just trying to get the negativity of the word "monday" out of my head. It is the day that the Lord has made and I will be glad and rejoice in it!

Did I say I went to church yesterday?  I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even be going but now the kids are hooked on it and want to go every single Sunday.  This particular church isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it's a good start.  The boys love it - they get dressed and are ready to go Sunday morning before I even get out of bed. They are still of the age that they really have no sense of time - so they think when they get up it's time to go, lmao.  Uhh, no, it's still 2 hours til church.  

Ohhhh, the look on their faces as they face the prospect of having to wait for 2 hours lol.  The service is only an hour long, the church has a few adult programs but nothing on the scale of what you would expect to find in such a large place with so many people.  They are definitely geared towards children's ministry, all well and fine, I was looking for adult social meetings/clubs to engage new people.  And, the few adult meetings they do have? Are on Sunday morning! Lol, they have 2 regular services, I guess you go to adult meetings during one service and go to the church service after. 

They have a Wednesday service - well bible study - in the AM as well.  It's just strange their setup. Maybe that's just what they found would work?  There are 100 other churches in the area, but now that the kids are hooked on that church, it would be difficult to tell them we are going somewhere else.  

Anyway, it's still early. Coffee time, I got up early to get my thoughts in order, have a cup or two of coffee and prepare myself for a day full of the wonders of picking up branches, lol.

G'day.
