How is everyone doing? Day one of all the kids home and it is slow going. Our school was actually prepared for this situation. All the kids have chrome books issued by the school and they have had what they call Elearning days. They are given their assignments on line and check in and do their assignments. They actually had this set up for when the kids miss school for weather or hurricanes. By doing on line schooling they don’t have to make up the missed days. So today all my public school kids signed on and got their assignments from all their teachers and did their assignments. First day went well. Hope that they keep the momentum going!
Since the weather was nice we also did a little clean up around the pool. When you have 6 kids doing a job it doesn’t take long at all.
I will admit, our yard is in sad shape. We start out strong in the spring and then it gets hot and the weeds overtake us. We are going to try harder this year. Part of the problem is we always have a little one and they just makes it more challenging to get out.
We also realized that 3 of our y’all pine trees has died, we have pine beetles. No way to get a truck back there so we had to find a tree climber to have them removed. What a mess, what am expense!
Today cold weather rolled in. It had been real nice. Tomorrow it is supposed to be cold and rainy so no out door projects. I think I will find one for indoors. I am still working on many indoor projects! They never end.
Anyone doing some home projects during this time of being home bound?
You could try a spray bottle of vinegar- either full strength or diluted to kill weeds. It works on grass too, but if you had kids you could trust with it and would find it fun, they could spray that on weeds once or twice a week and keep them under control. And it's vinegar, not roundup and other harsh chemicals to worry about. I use it on my brick patio to keep the weeds down.
