NO AL, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS ALL IN ONE DAY!!

 OUR NEIGHBOR MONICA'S MAGNOLIA TREE IS IN BLOOM

Each morning when I peer out of our large east-facing living room window I can see my view turning greener by the day as the trees and shrubbery continue to quickly grow and fill in my view.  Disappearing quickly is winter's gray and stark colorless landscape.  Oh, how wonderful to see those horrible horrible winter months gone!!  While looking out the window a white pick-up truck backed into our driveway with my load of stone dust.

 GOLDCOAST DELIVERS MY STONE DUST

My seven bags of mulch for the front yard flower beds didn't go far so Pheebs and I were back to Gold Coast Landscaping for seven more bags again this morning.  Buy six and get one free is their Spring special at the moment.  And a swing down around Bayfield's foggy harbor and beach area before heading home.

 A FOGGY MORNING AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH 

 AFTER BEING IN STORAGE ALL WINTER THE BOAT DOCKS NEED A GOOD HOSING OFF

 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW THEY GET THIS DRYDOCKED FISHING BOAT BACK INTO THE WATER AGAIN

NICE TO SEE THESE TREES IN THE HARBOR LEAFING OUT

 A MONTH FROM NOW THIS BOATING AREA WILL BE A HUB OF ACTIVITY

 HOME AGAIN AND TIME TO GET TO WORK

I very much appreciated today's cooler air as I busied myself in the front yard.  I got right at wheelbarrowing a dozen heavy waterlogged half-wheelbarrow loads to an area between our front deck and the frog pond.  In between loads, I spread four more bags of mulch.  I had to take a couple breaks to rest my legs, right knee, lower back, and a couple dozen other muscles today.  All par for the course when using muscles that haven't been used for a very long time.  And, I had to keep telling myself over and over, "NO AL, you do not have to do this all in one day"!!  If I were to ever have a tattoo which thank heavens I never will, but speaking hypothetically, I would have those above words tattooed on my right arm in bold block letters where I could see them clearly every day.  NO AL, you do not have to do this all in one day'!!   

 MY VERY WET AND HEAVY STONE DUST PILE WITH A COUPLE WHEELBARROW LOADS ALREADY TAKEN OUT OF IT

 AND SO IT BEGINS

 AS THE STONE DUST DRYS IT BECOMES MUCH LIGHTER BOTH IN COLOR AND IN WEIGHT

 IT LOOKS LIKE KELLY SNAPPED A COUPLE PICS OF ME SPREADING MULCH

 LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER GOOD WORKING DAY TOMORROW

Finished my book The True Meaning Of Life by Judith Hindle and I do agree with much of what she has to say.  But, it is a classic example of reading with an open mind but not so open that your brains fall out.  The next book in my queue is Beneath A Scarlet Sky by author Mark Sullivan.

MONICA'S MAGNOLIA TREE

Al's Music Box:)) Mr. Blue is a popular song written by DeWayne Blackwell that was a hit for The Fleetwoods, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1959, giving the group its second chart-topping hit of the year. Roy Lanham played guitar on the track, and Si Zentner played the trombone.
