Nice day

The day began on a high note when I looked over and Niki had ensconsed herself on the "throne" previously the exclusive domain of Gracie.  That is truly wonderful since she was barely able to even stand up, let alone climb up onto the window seat, only a month or so back!  Guess that Deramaxx stuff is worth the ridiculous price they get for it after all.

We went by Home Depot earlier and picked up a couple more types of grass killer that are not supposed to kill  landscape plants.  So far we've tried a few of them, but they either don't kill the grass or DO kill the other plants.  But we continue to experiment because we REALLY don't want to be constantly pulling up the grass and weeds in those beds out in front by hand. 

While we were there, we got new lights for the back porch and new bulbs for the flood lights in back.  I like having the floods all working because they attract the bugs at night so that even when we leave the door open for the dogs who aren't able to use the dog doors any longer, the bugs don't come in because the doors are not near the lights. 

I wonder if there will ever come a day when we can just sit around and enjoy the place, when nothing needs to be replaced, fixed, installed, moved . . .

I doubt it.  But today has been nice anyway.
