I went out to get my blood work done and the place I always went to didn’t take my insurance. I had to go to another place which I could not find and I was told has a wait of 1 ½ hours. I came home and took a look at my taxes. No word from the state of PA. I may just print the form out and send it. I need to get the amount to put on my NJ taxes. I raked another third of the back yard. This time I wore my own gloves and tried Ted’s rake. It is bigger and I was afraid would be heavier but it has a padded handle. One thing that takes so long is when raking; I rake clear the English Ivy growing in the grass and yank it out. It’s rather like bailing out the ocean. The stuff has really gotten a holt. The mower keeps it short but the danged stuff is sending runners under the grass. I thought I’d be out of here and it wouldn’t be my problem any longer. I hate the stuff. It was bad enough yanking it out of the hedge. It flowers and produces berries. The birds eat them and drop the seeds on the lawn.
Another pest is the English House Sparrow. I think they are trying to make a nest in the window here where the air conditioner is. I left it in this year, again thinking I’d be leaving. The unit makes a loud noise and I am not taking it with me. I didn’t want to bother carting it to the basement. I stuffed paper in one side on the sill in the area between where the window and storm go. The other side is not as easy to get at but I’ll have to do that if I don’t want a nest of nasty sparrows. They have already left a couple piles of droppings.
I haven’t heard any word on the job yet. I’ll keep you informed.
