Daily To-Do's/Notable Accomplishments

I think I need to start posting here again - just to let myself know i'm doing SOMETHING - LOL.

Made bread, made sourdough pizza dough, washed/folded/put away laundry.

I have feet issues, so finally put on the new Teva sandals I bought. (Think I hesitated because I was afraid they would hurt instead of help my feet). Preliminary walking around - they feel good! Yay!

A big snow here so stuck in all weekend. Ugh.
Yesterday most of the snow was gone and I found a stone that might be a tool. So bummed to have 8 inches of snow on the ground today.
Got my 60's Omega automatic watches working and successfully changed the date. Hooray! Saw my son this week and he has gotten very into watches, so we are planning a trip to a watch repair/pawn shop once spring comes. Trying to figure out if I want to sell off any of my old watches. Did not realize how much I liked the two automatics and now I have to figure out how to keep them running--one has been keeping time since yesterday. Another one stopped in the middle of the night and then was running again this morning.
Wish my daughter in law liked vintage watches but she just wears a Garmin. My son had an old Helbros on that I bought him for his birthday last year and he loves it. He's never serviced it and it keeps great time--it's mechanical, not automatic, though.

How lucky happy stuff that the Tevas work. Tybee, what an interesting post about watches. What a cool thing to do motherand son. I got rid of MORE corn husks and blades ( I just learned that the name of corn stalk leaves) Every flower bed is FULL from the corn field across the street. My husband has pulled out at least 15 30 gal. garbage cans full. Luckily we have a meadow behind the house and the wind will shift them up to the woods. But, it is a chore I don't like because it is useless...but has to be done. I keep hoping the farmer will start rotating crops, but apparently soybeans get so eaten by the deer there is no profit. So he keeps planting corn.
We have about 4 more beds to clear of corn!

Put in two red/bright pink hibiscus and two blue plumbagos this week in some empty spaces. My pots are done. I got them all planted before the real heat so the plants could get a good start. Added three more watering units to the drip irrigation I put in, so now I have 14 pots hooked up. Also have been doing a half hour of weeding, trimming everyday. I’m hoping to get all the lines hidden this week and finish trimming before the heat. Already lots blooming. The thing I love most about Florida. Spectacular flowers.

good rain today and 75. Exactly what freshly planted bushes need.

I planted a Plumbago a few years ago. They are not hardy here and boy that was an expensive annual, but it was beautiful with those heavenly blue flowers. if I saw one in a garden center again, I would buy it.
