Miss Ellaneous...........

Yesterday was beautiful out so I worked outside as long as I could.  I filled the tank, put air in the tires and took off mowing for an hour and 1/2.  It was due to rain today so I try to get it mowed in between the Spring storms.  I also shook and washed rugs and hung them out after I mowed.  I weeded and mulched and sprayed the poison oak and ivy that was trying, once again, to gain a foot hold.

When I came inside I vacuumed the laundry room, kitchen and family room and my bathroom.  You can never vacuum too much during shedding season. 
I tried  Clorox Gel Toilet Bowl Cleaner on the grout in my bathroom (it was a pin on Pinterest) and it worked!  You put the gel on the grout and then let it sit for 10 minutes and then scrub with a brush.  The only problem is I can't stand being on my knees very long so it will be a slow project but at least I have finally found something that works!  So now I hate not only carpeting but ceramic tile floors too! LOL!   

I had one little hen survive last year and it is having babies!  I'm so happy!  I will be transplanting them soon.

The roses are blooming too only mine look like shrub roses and they don't smell....huh?  I bought them on sale but I want those big, beautiful roses with the gorgeous scents.  David Austin?  I need to research as I just picked these up on sale.  There are also those that are black spot resistant etc.  I forget the name of them.
I took a nice hot bath after the grout scrubbing and then we all had supper and I knitted on my 2nd sock and watched Grey's Anatomy and then an episode of Heartland on the Feeln channel on Roku.  I finally finished P.D.James book; Death of a Witness but I won't be reading anymore of hers.....pretty depressing.  I'm now reading A Year At Ladybug Farm and loving it!
Today it rained and I was a little slower today but managed to get housework done and changed the sheets.  I also emptied the hall closet by the front door and have a "wild hair"......here's what I got done today.............the "before " picture............this closet sits right across from the front door in the entryway.

  I removed the clothes pole but need to remove the holders...........

This is the floor..they even carpeted the closets!  Really?  And the carpet is right up to the front door and a cream color....not in my world!  My parents and I were so different.  Those summers spent in the country with my aunt and uncle are what did it and I am SO glad! LOL!  For years I was sure I had been adopted but my mother finally showed me my birth certificate just to shut me up.

I removed the shelf too before I thought to take before pictures.  Actually this carpeting looks much better than the rest of the house but I do have a box cutter and I'm not afraid to use it!  Stay tuned!

 I better go fix my dinner....enjoy your Friday night!
Happy Trails!
P.S.  If you want a copy of your blog posts you can print out just put YOUR email address in where you can email people your posts and then you can get a copy and print it off.  Of course, I just started doing this and that doesn't help me with the last 8 years?  Oh well....it's a start.  Toodles!
