Good afternoon, and nearly "Good evening" here in Jordan. It's 6.45 pm here.

Your day is coming to an end and mine is just beginning. I'm about to turn off the computer and go out and chop weeds (after I take care of the animals, that is).

It's warm and sunny and I'm covered in juniper sap. I HATE junipers and we have 6-8 of them around a pond in our new back yard. I'm cutting them back as no one has touched them in 10 years and they look look h-e-l-l. I can't wait until we reach the 'maintenance' phase in yard care. We've got a lot to do still. I also have a bunch of roses which I might hate as much as juniper that I'm going to put on craigslist for free, you dig - I hate plants that want to kill me.

Whew! Got rid of all my RES today, thank goodness. The lady who took them is 80 years old and lives in the country. She has a 5 acre "pond." Now if I can just convince people to not bring me any more!

I should be so spry at 80. She came to town to go to Lowe's to purchase veg for her garden. Driving her own car. No Glasses (but I saw a pair on the dash of the car as she was leaving). Walks without a cane or assistance. Talked like she has all her faculties. Well, actually, I'm almost there at 79, but for some reason, I don't feel like I'm that old. And definitely not feeble!

Good morning! When I get off work, I will start my week of Jeff therapy. Except I still have to work my two overnight shifts.

We have baby foxes living under the ramp, in a den at work. Their mom was hit and killed by a car so a few of us were really worried about them. We had a wildlife rehabilitator come to trap them. That is until we realized daddy fox is still taking care of them.

The weather here in the northeast is still dreary and wet. Next week is finally supposed to clear off, warm up, and be sunny!

I don't understand. Are you saying Jeff is going to be home for a week starting today?
