I got a few things accomplished today. I planted the plants I brought here from Vineland. I planted the clementis out in the center of the fence and some daises and dahlias on each side of it. I plan to plant the glads in front of the fence. The contractor came and patched my roof. I cleaned up some of the junk that was in the ditch out back. It is a beautiful wooded area and someone has thrown all kinds of junk down the embankment. There were several white plastic hanging flowerpots that still had the dirt in them. There was a big tarp thing that was probably the cover for the air conditioner, plastic bags of all sorts, a bag of foam peanuts, and a nice wrought iron planter that hangs over the railing. I dumped the dirt out of it and will put it on my front entrance railing. My back entrance has several planters with herbs in them.
I met my new friend, Sue, as I walked past her house. Her little Yorkie came running out to greet Danny. They sniffed each other and Sue put her in the house. Danny went up to Sue wagging his tail and cuddling up to her. We talked about our dogs for a few minutes and then Danny and I went on our way. We met Sue and her husband again this afternoon. We didn’t walk far as it had gotten cold, dark and windy. Danny and I cut across the space that is an empty lot.
I set up the VCR and DVD that I brought down here. The one I had here had gone caput. I was able to watch a couple VCR tapes that I got at the Library sale for a buck. One was Days of Heaven with Richard Gere. It was a strange movie. I couldn’t figure out what was going on. The other was Seven Years in Tibet. Although, he went there in 1939 and came back in 1951. It seems to be a lot more than seven years. It was an excellent movie based on a true story.
My friend, Diane, called this evening. She will be moving to her new home in North Carolina. She hasn’t sold her house yet either. It has been on the market as long as mine. It is in a better section of Vineland and has all the upgrades. It is a more expensive house than mine mainly because of its location and upgrades. I don’t think anyone is moving into Vineland, Although, I read where Boeing has purchased the old Airwork plant in Millville. That should bring some people in. Millville is doing better than Vineland. At one time the opposite was true. It is also less expensive to live there. They did a lot with renovating their water front. Vineland does not have a water front. The river is on the west side about five miles from downtown. Millville’s downtown is on the river.
The new plants look nice along my walk and fence. I put in some tulips, daffodils, and hosta. I planted some lily of the valley back in the wooded area and also some hardy geranium. It hardly looks like a geranium any more than the dogtooth violet looks like a violet. The hardy geranium has a blue flower and the dogtooth violet has a yellow flower.
