PRODUCE

We went to Valdosta today to run a couple of errands. On the way home we drove by some of the produce fields to check them out. Some are starting to turn green with plants coming up. We don't know what they are yet. Vern biked by a field this morning and he said it looked like they were planting potatoes or sweet potatoes. Hopefully by the time we leave we'll be able to tell what some of the plants are.



The trees and bushes in our yard are starting to bloom. We have 2 honeysuckle, a palm tree, and a plum tree. There is ornamental grasses, mini daffodils, and a lot of azaleas, pink and red ones. There are a few things we don't know what there are.



The last 2 recliners came this week and the end tables. We spent about an hour and a half putting them together, but it was worth it. I really like them. Friday afternoon we had a service guy here installing a security system. We decided since we are going to be gone for about 4 months this summer it would be a good idea. Now it's trying to remember to disarm it before we open the door. So far so good. A lot of our neighbors have security systems and we've seen signs in other neighborhoods with signs in their yards.



The other day I watched a golfer come into the yard to get his golf ball. At least it didn't hit the house. The neighbors house was hit a few days ago. He came out and yelled at the guy, but we decided he knew the guy and was giving him a bad time. The workers are out on the course around 6:30 a.m. mowing. It is still dark, but they all have headlights on their mowers. They keep the course looking nice.

UNPACKING

The pod arrived right on time and we had an hour to unload it. It took us 40 to 45 minutes to unload an 8x8x7 pod. Boy, did we get our exorcise that afternoon. I needed a break when we were done. I have all the dishes unpacked and put away. I moved things from one spot to another a few times, but for now it is all done. I had so much fun unpacking my Longaberger baskets and seeing which ones I had. Some I have found places for and some are sitting in corners until I decide where they're going. The bad thing in all of this is that Vern couldn't help me.



I got fed up with the furniture store where we were getting our living room furniture. They kept moving the delivery date back. I got so mad I called and canceled our order. I then went with our second choice and had the furniture here the same day we went in to order it. We were lucky. The set we wanted they had gotten in a couple days before as a floor model and let us have it. We got a love seat and a recliner. We ordered 2 more reclines, one of them will go in the room upstairs.

The yard service was here last week and mowed and took a leaf blower to all the leaves on the ground. They also trimmed the bushes and weeded the flower beds. They did a great job. They are a father and daughter team and do 3 or 4 other yards in the area.
