It is Wednesday-1 June in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

Today would have been our 41st wedding anniversary. We had a traditional wedding in our little country church. As most brides, I had no idea what laid ahead but what laid ahead made me who I am today. Good and bad.

Finally got a trellis finished/built for my cucumber planter that is in the BBQ grill in a clay pot. It will “climb” down instead of up but still need to find it a place that it will stay until after harvest. *sigh I’m running out of space down here. Well space that I am will to use for cucumbers growing. I’ve grown very fond of cardboard which keeps growth out that you don’t want, however, it kills whatever is under it, so that is my dilemma, and it needs sun. I will probably end up putting them on the side of the house. I have other stuff to move to put it there, but so be it. Think I just decided.

Bought something to put of the water hoses on when not in use. Had a wind up storage thing, that I gave to daughter. It kinked the hose too badly when you were trying to roll it up. I will plan to make another holder for another hose.

Bought the things I need to make the insect repellent. Will make a batch today and see if it works as well as they say. Must admit that some of the “natural” sounds great, but works very little.

Bought and started taking the Turmeric for my arthritis and joint pain. Wish it would hurry and help.

I cleaned both filters on the aquarium Sunday afternoon. YUCK! It had been too long but they are both cleaned and working fine now.

Started on the gas grill cleaning job yesterday. The two right burners wouldn’t light when I used it on Monday afternoon, and still wouldn’t after I got all the gunk cleaned out. Not going to mess with the connections or the gas line that feeds the two far burners. I’m terrified of propane explosions so will just use the two that will work. Still need to give the outside of it a bath and clean the grills and the burner covers. It took a while to scrape the inside and get the crude through the bottom holes. I put an empty bag underneath the holes to catch the crude. Didn’t want it in the yard or the concrete. It it sitting with the lid up and gutted right now. I was expecting it to rain overnight, but it didn’t. Ah well, hot soapy water and rubber gloves are in my immediate future.

Not a lot planned right now for the day. Will do some laundry and dishes. Fill or change out the hummer feeders. Bought more sugar yesterday. Did you know that hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward? Learned that on 500 question show last night.

Going to get my butt in gear and start laundry, take a shower, and go from there. Showers are in the forecast again. That is ok. The Amazon bookclub is calling my name. I have Kindle for Android. Any thoughts on the Amazon book club membership? Does it get more expensive after the introductory time?

Have a great day today. Take care and God Bless
