In the Yard Again

I am so tired. Today, I sat while J picked up and moved stuff in the yard and cut down green things. There was a lot to do, mainly because she was always going to do it later, AND I have pots and buckets galore. Plus, she cut more wisteria to free two tables and a rack to hang clothes on that I am giving to her--not the tables, just the hanging rack. Most of the buckets went to the road for trash day. I am quite sure they will be gone in the morning.

Since she trips over wisteria and has such a hard time cutting it, I am quite sure she will never allow it to live in any yard she might have...lol.

She was wondering why I am saving all dirt from various pots. I need to fill in the trench in the yard made by the water being pumped out of the basement. And, the trench dug to put in the water line still needs more dirt in it to make the yard right. Most of the length is filled in but not some in the side yard.

My nice neighbor with whom she lives picks up black nursery pots of dirt he finds on the side of the road. He uses the dirt to fill in little divots in his yard. She thinks that is strange. ??? She thinks I should throw the dirt in the trash.

She never got around to mowing today. I had other plans. She sprayed the picnic table with something to clean it off--grime, mold, green stuff. Then, my plan was to have her paint at least the top on Saturday. It has been dry enough that painting is a great idea right now. We will see.

Plus, I took her (my idea) to courthouse so she could go find out about getting a driver's license. Supposedly, she has to pay $150 to reinstate her license and about $2000 in fines. She was driving someone's car and got a ticket for wrong plates. The woman today said even if the car was owned by someone else, the owner had to pay fine. That does not seem right. Plus, another time, she did not have proof of insurance on the same car. It belonged to someone else, but she has to pay the fine. That does not seem right.

She is very depressed by this news. But, I am going to find out of this is true. Legal aid is the only thing I can suggest for her.

Her bf is crazy. He had to come by here and say "bye" after lunch. I want him to stay away from here. I suspect he was just checking up on her. Maybe he just wanted to prove to me he can come here.

She cannot drive a stick, and that is what bf bought. I am going to find someone to teach her. He does not want her to learn. I had a friend in her 50s whose husband only bought a stick. I thought it was to keep her home. He had to drive her everywhere. I know how to drive a stick!

For lunch, I had the last of my fresh eggs, scrambled and with a glass of milk. Dinner was a Chicken Caesar salad and too many cookies with a glass of milk. Later tonight, I will have a fruit salad--banana, grapes, apple. Later, I will put vegetables in the crock pot.

I went to Lowe's for something I did not get, and bought a yellow mum for $1.50. It is tiny, but I put it into a pretty blue and yellow pot and placed it in the kitchen window. I can only afford tiny mums and plan to keep them over the winter.  Hopefully, the will live and grown larger next year.

For a few weeks I have been talking up a drive on the Natchez Trace to ex bf. Keep your fingers crossed. We won't drive the whole thing, just a section.

Your turn
Do you throw away dirt in a pot or do you find a use for it? Can you drive a stick shift? Have you ever heard of a driver of a car having to pay fine for changed tag or lack of insurance?
