Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey...watering yard

-

 I think I have found a small job that hubby likes and keeps him busy. We have underground sprinklers but some areas my flowers are not getting enough water. So I have hubby resting out back on the patio doing word search and I tell him every 10 minutes change the water from the sprinkler to a different flower. Seems to be working...flowers getting watered and hubby seems happy...a win win for me.

Removing and replacing our old pathway

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

Today was sunny and bright out but a cold wind was blowing.   So I went to work on the house....stripping down wall paper that I put a few months ago and thought I would love it.  Well, I lived with it and today it all came down.  All over.....hubby came home and said "what in the world".  I told him I found a paint scrapper and it had to come down. I then went to work on our dining room table...it was oak and I painted it over 6 years ago white....been looking at it and wanting to take time to strip down the top and make it oak again....so today was the day.....sanded and sanded.... I then looked at our side table in the dining room...this is an older stand and I love all the detail...but I have so many vintage dishes and just dishes.....I went looking over the house and found an old shelf that has 5 shelves on each side....so I lugged it up the steps and heaved it onto the stand....but then I was afraid it might fall so I had to attach it to the wall. ...
