~~~~~ Don't be sorry. Here, people park on the street and that made having your address on the curb a moot point especially since garbage pickup was moved from the alleyways to the front of the houses. I'll have to send you a picture. At current, you can't call what's in front of the house "shrubs" anymore. They are like 15 foot tall trees. The tree that is cut back under the address has to be near 8 feet tall.

About to order some Fire Department Coffee from FireDepartmentCoffee.com to see what it taste like.

I'm thinking of upgrading some equipment to get things moving along faster because before you know it, Fall will be here, signaling the beginning of the end of build season and the ability to do outdoor groundwork.

Determining what to handle next. My To-Do list is going slower than I expected.

Feeling like I can finally function again. Suffering from heat as I get older was never quite on my to do list.

~~~~~ I truly hope it is everything you envisioned.

Feeling like it's a good thing I don't curse because I would really let it out on a couple of sites right now that are attached to the DGN accounts.

It's July and the Month that brings you Independence Day, 7 Eleven Day, World Emoji Day, The Start of the Summer Olympics, National Lasagna Day: A total of 48 Observances and... BOARD DOMINATION WEEK CXXVIII!!! Daily rankings will be based on the top 3 Top Posters +, as listed in the sidebar, from 12am until 11:59pm with the actual Top 5 totals posting at the end of the week. Now, with that said... READY, SET, POST!!!

~~~~~ Sorry if I stated something incorrectly. We don't have numbers on the curb. We have numbers on the front of the house. They are big enough to be seen from the street. However, the Rose of Sharon grew 6 inches higher than the numbers. I trimmed the stems back and now everything is back to normal. Sorry if I made that difficult to follow. 😅

Pamper Yourself with a Sweet Treat!!!

~~~~~ Wow, that same thing happened here. Several streets got repaved, a company came through and painted addresses on the curb of the homeowners that wanted it, the block club across the main avenue from us held a block party (and our family got invited due to us being their paper carrier) as they Limewashed the bottoms of their trees. It was a group effort as we worked and partied. Nothing like that has ever happened again, but it was most definitely a fun time. As for the address being seen, it's all good. I trimmed the bushes back. Decades ago, my mother had me purchase giant house numbers that we stuck onto the front of the porch pylon because there were complaints that the address couldn't be seen on the house next to the front door. However, after our mother's passing, her beloved Rose of Sharon now grow like wildfire. It's like 6 to 8 inches of growth every rainfall. We think of it as her spirit in the greenery. 😊

~~~~~ Well, that yardwork didn't happen. Time to go make it a reality.

About to head out to trim up the yards. I really do not want a ticket for overgrowth. They have been clamping down on ordinance enforcement these past 2 years and it is illegal if your address cannot be seen from the street. The Rose of Sharon have gotten a bit rambunctious this year. They are beautiful, but not worth a $150 fine.

~~~~~ Although tasks were delegated, I ended up being the cleanup crew to all the everything. finally made it to bed around 4am this morning. Now it's time to get stuff out for curbside pick up tomorrow. I feel like once I get these houses cleaned out, then the idea of having extra time may be in the picture.

~~~~~ So that must be it. People keep treating me like I have free time just because they see me out of the house. Where it is true that I did help raise my niece and nephew until our mother passed away in 2015, I wasn't granted custody of them until they were 13 and 10 years of age respectively. Until that time, I was fulltime employed in automotive administration then went into fulltime on-call home care provider services (starting in 2008). Executor to the Estate was tacked on after the settling of our mother's Will. Yes my niece lives 6 minutes down the road, but I still help support her. And yes, my nephew is on campus during the school year 15 minutes away, but otherwise, he stays at the HomeHouse and I still support him. All the while I am 24/7 on-call assist with Trene. Add property maintenance, family everything, legal responsibilities, pets, wildlife and everyday living into the mix and sometimes it's all I can do to keep up. If I can't automate a system to be self-reliant for some period of time, I have to throw what I can at it until I can officially get back around to it. All the while, I'm ducking and dodging the neighbors because if they see me out, they have a request for me because they don't think I do anything but sit at home and cut the lawns. I had a carpet bug infestation a couple of weeks ago and ended up pulling everything out of place throughout my entire house, minus the basement, and, honestly, my current living situation isn't even organized chaos...I'm at warehouse status with four legged security patrol. The only things I can say for certain, at this moment in time, are: my computer is on, all the grass is cut, all the Feral Furs and new born Feral Babies have been fed, I found something to eat, I have a package on the front porch over at the HomeHouse and the shed is half assembled. I left this year's 4th of July planning up to the rest of the family.
