I did not get up until about 0745 this morning, I guess that I was still on my Sabbath rest. I made up for it a little bit today. I did a load of towels, washed, dried, folded and put away. Then I vacuumed the downstairs and did a lot of the hand washing dishes. Kathleen got up this morning and when she came downstairs she was dressed, something that she had not done all weekend.
I put the solar house number sign that I bought several years ago in the ground and put the sign on it. I bought it and set it aside to do when I had time and it was buried and I ran across it the other day.
About noon we went to Home Depot to pick up some more of the teak oil so that I could finish the planting bench. I went outside just as soon as we got home and I changed my clothes and started to apply the oil to the bench.
It only took about forty-five minutes to finish the bench. When I got in the house Kathleen was talking to Alyssa, she was going to come over with the children. The other day when I talked with Alyssa she wanted to get some raspberries and irises. So I went back out and started to dig up some raspberries for her. I cleaned out an area that was becoming overgrown and in the same area where I cleaned out under the apple tree.
I also dug out a couple dozen irises in a part of the rose garden that I am trying to clean out and open up a little.
When I went inside and cleaned up Andrea was there having her lunch on her way to work. She had been there a while and just stayed for a while after Alyssa arrived.
Hayden played with one of the toy Wranglers that I have for the grandchildren to play with while Zander played with the battery operated train. He spent a while assembling the track, but he finally did and then Hayden wanted to play with the train as well.
Natalie went upstairs with Kathleen to see how her pillow was progressing. Kathleen is embroidering a little pillow for her for her new room.
Alyssa left with the children about 1730, and we heated up the leftover chicken and rice from last night for dinner tonight.
My eyes are really irritated, I think from all the digging in the soil. I feel tired, but I think it is mostly from me not being able to keep my eyes open as they are really watering.
Well, I think that is it for tonight, so I will just wish you all a good night.

Thanks for all the plants. I am excited to get them in the ground. I can't wait to see how the iris look, as they are a beautiful variety. I meant to come see the bench you were working on, but I just got distracted with the kids. Maybe next time.
