Good morning. I haven’t written for a couple of days, but it has been rather busy around here. Mark has been down with a case of, as mom used to call it, the trots. He must’ve made a miraculous recovery since last night, as he is off hunting this morning. 🙄

Our neighborhood is having a garage sale. I wasn’t going to personally do one, but Kim had a few things to put out. So I am taking a golf cart load down to Kim’s and we’ll set up with her for 8 o’clock. Sue is going to pop by with a few more things, so I imagine we will have a right good garage sale.  If nothing else, we will have some good laughs.

Yesterday we took a trip to Lowe’s between bathroom runs for Mark, and I picked up a couple of nice poinsettia and chrysanthemum planters for out front. With the big tree down, the yard is wide open.

My dear sycamore tree … In fairness to the tree, we’ve treated it both through the ground and with Spraying. We were unable to control the scale disease

Interesting to see the hole in the middle of the tree. What the heck was that all about. Anyway, I feel safer with the tree gone during wind storms.  

Sue arrived with a trunk load of sale items. Kim, a minimalist, is looking on in horror. 😂 We sold a few items and the rest we packed up for donations. 

Tonight, we went to the Olive Garden for a good dinner. We really enjoy their salads, and they make a really good chicken Parmesan. Mark had gnocchi soup, two bowls. It’s a little bit chilly tonight, I’m going down into the 40s by morning. Brrrrr
