Must get moving

 I think the long weekend and all the activity from yesterday has caught up with us.  We slept in this morning, neither of us woke until gone 7:30 a.m.  Usually on Tuesdays we get our groceries for the week, we were a bit later doing that this morning.  The grocery store we go to no long has an hour for seniors only, but not many people go to this store anyway.  

Home and all the packages, veg and fruit put away, now on computer catching up with everything that I  missed over the weekend, then lunch.   Need to get that housework started this afternoon.  

A lot of the flowers in the garden are looking as if they are past their prime, so will start cutting back some of them.   Want to move a couple of shasta daisies but think I will wait until it is a bit later in the year.  Still need to water some of the baskets as they suck up the moisture due to the sun and wind drying them out.  We have yet to have the dog days of August to get through so trying to keep them looking healthy for at least that period of time.  

The Gypsy moth infestation seems to be slowing down, few moths are being caught in the traps now.   We are still keeping our eyes open for the eggs the females lay, have only found one and it was destroyed   The little Jenny Wrens are busy feeding their little ones, some of the food they bring to the nest are quite large and we wonder how these little ones can swallow them.  Soon, I am sure they will be flying out on their own.  

Dinner tonight, chicken, veg and salad with our own cherry tomatoes.  Dessert, must think about that soon. 

Have a great day. must get moving.
