Nothing at all to tell you about the upcoming weekend. I have zero plans – no projects, no long list of chores (just the normal ones) and Ken’s working. I have a couple of books I want to read.

This is not to say there aren’t about a dozen projects I *could* do. It’s best, however, that I don’t jinx myself by saying I’m going to do xyz — I’ll just blog about what I did or didn’t do on Monday. 😛

For example, I was reading a blog today that had outlined how to prepare your flower beds for fall planting. Since mine is a dismal failure this year, I really could (and SHOULD!) do that. It was a great article, too. It told me exactly how deep to put everything which is something none of the other articles I’ve ever read have done (that I can remember at any rate). Most just say a layer of this and a layer of that, but don’t tell you how deep those layers really need to be consequently, mine have not been nearly deep enough. I bought some lovely bulbs at the Jackson Perkins outlet store in Greenwood a few months back that do need to be planted. Hey Judy — do you need some bulbs? They had some really awesome looking ones the last time I was there for really CHEAP prices (like $1 a package).

I also really need to clean out the office. I’ve accumulated way too much club stuff that can be dumped. I was the recording secretary for GKC for 15 years, so have all those minutes that can be tossed (they’re all transcribed so it’s not like if I throw away the handwritten copies, I’ll be losing anything). I also have a bunch of old pedigrees of dogs and such that can be tossed as most of those are in a database now. Old dog vet records — dogs are dead and have been for years, so those can go. Well, I think you’re getting the picture…

There always seems to be no end of stuff that should be taken to the thrift store for recycling. Everything from books to tupperware is just junking up the closets, bookshelves and cabinets.

Gosh! Just thinking about all these need-to-dos has made me tired! I think I’ll just read this weekend…

Yeah, that’s a great plan!

I hope you have a great weekend, too!

Love to all,

Margaret
