I did some work on the computer this morning and then did some sewing. I sewed up some seams on a pair of sweat pants. I had taken the elastic out of the bottom of the legs a while ago and I just got around to stitching them back up. I started to sew a pair of curtains for my brother’s house but I need to iron the hems before I stitch them up.
After walking Danny and having my lunch, I went to work on weeding the flowerbeds. I started with the southwest corner. I didn’t have weeds so much as grass. Grass is harder to pull out then weeds. There are two kinds of grass growing in the beds. One kind is that zoiza grass. I hate that stuff. Ted killed it off twice but it returns. It’s supposed to be good in hot sun but it looks crappy. Its roots are runners that are down under the soil about three inches deep. The get underneath my irises and the irises get pulled up along with the roots. It’s supposed to be grass that is used on golf courses but this stuff doesn’t look like golf course grass; it looks more like crab grass. It turns brown with the first frost and is ugly until about May. A lot of people in this area think it’s great. I prefer fescue. There is some real nice fescue grass in the back yard. I hope the zoiza and English ivy don’t over run it. I was hoping last summer would be the last I would have to deal with the yard. I sent some mulch to my niece’s house when I was cleaning up the yard. Most of my lawn furniture is there. She is keeping it until I move to a new place. I may need it all back if this place doesn’t sell. I hate feeling in limbo.
After I finished the southwest corner, I called my Aunt. I hadn’t talked to her for a while. I did see her at Christmas time and we do email back and forth. It would be nice to be over in that area so I could visit my family.
