@Snowysmom I had to read your post twice. 60K for car maintenance? Can I be nosy and ask what kind of maintenance costs more than what you could buy a new car for?
@PollyannaMom I know how you feel about your pool. When I used to have one, closing it up always meant the end of summer. But it also meant I didn't have to keep it clean and vacuumed, so one less thing to do!
Sunny and 86 today. I already closed up and put the ac back on. I wished I had done it yesterday but by the time it was 82 in here, it was too late in the day to bother.
I did so much yesterday that I could barely move. Stripped and remade the bed, dusted and vacuumed the whole house. Took down the birdbath out front and the solar flowers, put up all of my Fall decorations. Door mats, garden flags, door decorations, metal yard art signs, etc. I decided that needed to be done before vacation in 1 1/2 weeks, and before I finished fall cleaning.
I just went out and cut back the crepe myrtles that were so high they were blocking the view out of my bedroom windows. I cut back the ornamental grass on the side and straightened out the little fence that the grass had grown through. The cats will be a little lost, they liked to hide in that grass because it was cool and they were hidden, but it will grow back in the spring.
Summer texted me and made me laugh. She bought Gracie a bed frame, headboard and footboard on Amazon. She got a notice that the post office tried to deliver it yesterday but 'the mail box was full'. Really, they were going to try and put boxes that size in a mailbox? It should have been delivered to her front porch. Now she has to wait until tomorrow and go to the post office and pick it up herself and file a complaint. Her carrier is just plain lazy is the problem.
I'm done with chores for the day, no fall cleaning until tomorrow. Going to put a chuck roast in the crock pot for dinner so that will be taken care of.
Have a good day everyone
