An addiction to gardening isn't that bad when you consider all the other choices in life.

     Darel had a comfortable day yesterday.  We went to Bangor, he enjoyed getting out.  It is too early to know if we'll go to church.

     I successfully tackled the peace lily yesterday.  I divided it into 3 large plants and four small ones.  It should be much happier now.  I still have the hoya and philodendron vines around the windows  to do. That will be an all day job.  One of the hoyas needs repotted.  i won't try to take the vine down.  I'll hang up a new pot and transfer it in place.  I did the other side of the window last year.  The vines have been up there so long the pots are crumbling.

   Back down to one flock of grosbeaks which is ok with me.  i can't afford to feed all of them!  I haven't seen the skunk that was living in the barn in awhile.  Yesterday the chunk of rat poison was gone.  I put another one our right away, I'm real good about making sure the rats are fed!

    Darel is awake, he doesn't want to go to church.  His voice hasn't really come back since Tuesday's "event".  He didn't try to tell me he should ride around Walmart in a cart yesterday so I'm not surprised.  I'll go to Sunday School.

    Have a good day, Sally
