The day was chocked full of things to do

We went out when the temperatures finally warmed to the mid fifties, I know, brrr for Florida!
Any-who most of the day was that chilly, we went to do errands that I felt needed to be done and it was great getting out after my viral infection and birdie watch to protect our pond fish, who were wonderfully fine on our return; the netting works in its new configuration.

First we stopped for gas to fill up, wow, those prices are inching up again we found that our warehouse store had the cheapest at 1.87.9 all the others were anywhere from 1.91.9 to 1.99.9. And what’s with the .9 thing I do know it has to do with the tax, but you would have thought by now we would have rounded it off with the way its been fluctuating these last couple of years.

Then we went on to a linen store then two discount stores all of the ones we went to were oddly fairly busy for a Thursday morning.
Afterwards we stopped off for lunch at our healthy choice soup and salad place, which too was busy with a nice lunch crowd.

We arrived home with our purchases and full bellies all before 2 P.M.
I do enjoy going out, you don’t realize how much until you haven’t been in a while, I wouldn’t say I had cabin fever but it was pretty close.
Tomorrow night we will be going across our canal to a dinner party at our neighbors from Montreal who stays here six months now that they are both retired.

I asked hubby what he will be doing this afternoon now that we got home fairly early, and he said that he would plant the two palms that the wind or whatever took down two nights ago and broke the one’s pot, and plant them he did right where they sat.

Next he started a controversial project that was voted on a while back and he said he was about to do the opposite of what had transpired by the vote that came in, he was removing our grapefruit tree that has not improved one iota health-wise and still looks an awful lot like the ‘Psycho’ tree alongside the Bates Motel. Well, my hubby was determined, and he winched it to the boat lift and tightened it so the branches were in his reach for cutting with the chain saw an electric one, which is much lighter than the gas models, and down they came, and with every rung of branches being chopped off he would lower it another few feet, and now at this time tonight it is nearly lying on its side naked in its near death state. In its last hurrah it shot out a couple of blossoms onto one tender branch that my hubby blatantly took a photo op of, and I am as corrupt as him too with my many PICS of the murdering deed itself. Actually it was more like euthanasia since the tree really has really been dying sadly slowly and painfully for years.

Sorry to hear that for some unknown personal reasons Caroline Kennedy has taken her name off the short list for the replacement of Senator Hilary Clinton seat.
Mysterious with her reasoning, but perhaps in the future we will find out, curious minds need to know.

Good night to all and to all keep on, well… just keep on doing what makes you happy and healthful.
