Wordless Wednesday--From Me?

NEVER

When have you ever known me to be wordless--on Wednesday or any other day of the week.  So much going on--in my head AND my life.

75 degrees today.

This morning the guy--that is his name Guy--came and power washed my house--er-rr, trailer--no--mobile home--no it's not called that either--unit?  Well, anyway, you've seen pictures of where I live, so you call it whatever you want.  $80.00.  The house looks so nice--he puts a wax on it too AND he spent extra time on my back porch, which was dirty, mildewed and awful looking.

Yesterday afternoon--I did this.

Freddy made me this raised bed quite a few years ago.

It was filled with strawberry plants.  Then they sort of died off

and it went to weeds.  I dug it up, (I actually DUG IT UP) and saved a few of the strawberry

plants to put down at the south end.  It is going to be my vegetable garden this year.

A regular sized tomato plant on the north end, a Grape tomato plant

on the south end AND a hill of a few cucumber seeds in the middle.

Freddy was always going to put a rose in that triangular thing on the south end.

I have sprayed it with Round-Up and will just put in--something--I don't know what.
Don't you love my wonderful crop of Dandelions?

After Guy left, I grabbed Pearl and we went across the road to the garden shop.  She has already made two trips there, but thought she needed more flowers.  We get so crazy this time of year, when it is planting time in Michigan.  This was my purchase--($100.00) waiting a few days for them to harden off and me to plant--probably next week if I can wait that long.  May 15th is our planting time here, because in Michigan, you can always get a late frost.

There are no Impatiens this year.  They developed some sort of mold disease

last year, which killed them  People going back to the garden store for more,

as all their plants are guaranteed.  So this year, they won't sell them.  

Even Lowe's, will not sell them this year.

This led to quite a quandary for me as I ALWAYS plant Impatiens in my pots and planters.  

The manager there showed me a flower called Rosea Vinca--and guess what? 

They look much like an Impatiens to me and sun and drought hardy.  YAY!!!

This combo will go in my large pots.  I think I am going to like the Fuchsia geranium

dark blue/purple Wave Petunia and this chartreuse vine--I can't remember it's name.

The Geraniums are a bit darker Fuchsia then they appear in the photo.  

I so love these colors together--POP!!

Friday the guy--only that isn't his name--I don't know what it is--Lynch Carpets--is coming to clean my carpets.  I can't move EVERYTHING out of the way, so I will clear out the living room and bathroom (yes, I have carpeting in the bathroom--not my choice) and have him clean those two rooms and the door ways to the computer room and bedroom and my couch--sofa--davenport---whatever you call it.  We used to call it a davenport, but I think nowadays, most people call it a couch.  Whatever it is, it sits on a metal frame with recliners on each end and is impossible to move unless you take it apart.  It and the entertainment cabinet will stay where they are and he will clean the rest of the carpet.  $120.00

As I said before, money is pouring out of here like water from a faucet and IT HAS TO STOP!!!  The whole inside needs to be painted--I did it five years ago AND that stupid ceiling stuff they put in these kinds of places, need to be painted also.  I can't do that--I think it has to be sprayed.  BUT--I can't move the furniture out of the way anymore, so...............guess it will just stay and get yellower and yellower as the years pass--then when I pass, the kids can have it all done before they sell this place.

On a more serious note--Dar was over yesterday--she was in a huge anxiety mess.  It seems she may have breast cancer.  She had it ten years ago in her right breast and now--it may have re-appeared in her left breast.  She had her mammogram, or as she calls it, mammy-oh-gram, and they found a "disfigurement" as she referred to it, in her left breast.  She goes in Monday to have an ultra sound.  After all the bad stuff I have gossiped about her!!!!  I have made up my mind, if she has to have treatment, I will drive her to her sessions.  She doesn't have a car.  The cancer treatment center is only one mile away.  It's the least I can do.

Which reminds me, I get my mammogram and chest x-ray next Wednesday!

Until tomorrow--I don't have anything planned, but you never can tell what will come up for me to tackle!!
======================
My other weird neighbor, whom I have never written about--worse then Dar, just posted this on FB--I love it.
