Still doggedly working on re-landscaping. This is a monumental project! But now that the weeds have slowed down I can work at a more comfortable pace. Also raked up a ginormous binful of pine needles from the pine trees I planted 15 years or so ago. They've grown into majestic beauties. Ahem! A bit too majestic.

In the front yard, the oak tree, planted about the same time as the pines, is blossoming. The Catalina Island cherries and hollyleaf cherry are beginning to blossom too... long sprays of small white flowers... and bees are going nuts over them. There are some California poppies that popped up among the weeds, which I of course saved, that are beginning to hloom, and the purple lantana has been blossoming for over a month now. And, finally, some potted succulents are also blooming.

Backyard is in full bloom too. The multicolored Joseph's Coat (this year, mostly a rosy red) and white Lady Banks roses- both climbers and 8 feet tall- are covered in flowers. Orange and golden nasturtiums, pink geraniums, and a pale pink azalea are also blooming like crazy. Even the avocados are blooming. I even have some evening primrose flowers from seed I planted four or more (!) years ago that I had given up on.

Some time in summer I'm going to have to call a tree guy and have all of the trees attended to, one way or another. The pines need to be thinned, the cherries need to be pruned back, the oak should be limbed up, and avocados need to be cut back and balanced. But it's a glorious sight right now. I wish you could see it.

Again no luck at mah jong this morning. Missed out several big hands. Oh well. Least the lunch was decent. Spaghetti with a meat sauce. Too much for me to eat in one sitting, so I brought the rest home for supper.

Yeah, same here. Time to take puppywuppy out for her walk.

Been allocating my time between indoor work and outdoor work depending on weather and schedule. Today I'm sorting out about 2 1/2 years of misc paperwork for filing. I bought a big 4-drawer filing cabinet from a used office furniture place a long time ago, which is where these papers are destined. Tomorrow we're expecting a surprise late season shower, so more filing. I should never have let it sit that long!

Then will probably need to yank more weeds after the rain. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Yeah, I still have old bills and such to shred. Haven't got there yet.

And take today for instance. I thought once I got back in I could get some book work done. Nope got derailed and I won't get back on track today. Maybe tomorrow. I hope.

Speaking of rain... we got the 10AM showers as predicted. But at noon we got a surpise thunder-shower. It rained pretty heavily for 5 minutes ... not a downpour ... and tailed off to light rain for a bit before finally quitting. Probably not enough to penetrate more than the top inch or so of soil, but still appreciated by all the plants.

That's great Sig.

My area is getting a bit of rain at some point tomorrow and then on Monday. We dry out for the rest of the week. Fingers crossed.

Wow, really did a number on myself a bit ago. Though I had really gotten one of my seizure meds stuck in my throat. Pounding on my chest and coughing I was able to dislodge it and try again. Second time it went down but most of the coating came off and just yuck. Leaned back again.

It was. Turned my head as I was trying to swallow and it sent the pill down sideways instead of straight. Which is why it got caught. Couldn't move it down but like I said coughing brought it back up again.

So lesson to me is don't turn my head while I am trying to swallow.
