GOT THE OLD SHOVEL IN THE GROUND TODAY:))

ALONG THE MORNING TRAIL

Another energy driven productive day. It is so unbelievable to me how the elimination of a simple cup of coffee each night after supper has made such a difference in my life. A few weeks ago when my Nurse Practitioner suggested no coffee after 12 noon as a solution to my poor sleeping habits I just figured, 'ya right!!' But, I was willing to try anything rather than go the sleeping pill route so I did what I was told for a change. I hadn't had a good night's sleep for many years let alone a whole week but since giving up the later day coffee I have been sleeping like Rip Van Winkle every night. Direct results of this are increased energy levels & today was another good example of that. Never had to take a recliner break all day. Nice:))

FOUND THIS LITTLE CATERPILLAR FELLOW IN A CEDAR SHRUB I MOVED TODAY

Some of our flower beds have become overgrown the last few years & I just didn't have the energy or the interest to maintain them anymore but today it was just like old times as I got my good old shovel in the ground again & busied myself transplanting flowers & shrubs . Landscape gardening was a favorite hobby of mine for years & today it felt nice to have those good old creative thought patterns flowing again.

  

OVERGROWN FLOWERBED-WORK HAS BEGUN-ALMOST FINISHED 

I've heard of goal tenders, ship tenders & business tenders but until this morning I had never heard of battery tenders. Slip on over to RETIRED ROD'S blog & he'll not only tell you about battery tenders but show you a picture of one as well. 

KAREN & AL  wondered what company we purchased our sun screens from that I had pictures of in last night's blog. We bought those visors in Quartzsite a couple of years ago from a vendor outside the big tent on opening day. Can't remember the name of the company but we just gave them the make & model of our rig & their computer told them which visors fit our Motor Home & that was that. Pulled them from stock & away we went. And yes, they are put up with 4 suction cups on each visor. At the same time we also purchased the full windshield screens that we use while parked. Same see through material as the visors & they are suction cupped on as well. We can see out OK but it's hard for anyone to see in.  If anyone knows the name of that company let me know & I'll put the addy in the blog.

YEP, OUR MOTOR HOME SITS ATOP ONE OF THEM THERE WORKHORSE CHASSIS ALRIGHT
