Busy Times

Here is the gallery. We are moving furniture and continuing to move plants. We are also doing dump runs from things that collected in the garage. It's a very physical day.
We had Jon come over to help Dennis move furniture. It saved my back. I just can't heavy lift. It tells me I need to start doing weights as not being able to lift heavy is driving me crazy when I used to be able to and was sadly out of shape.
I need to start taking my sweatshirts out and find my comfie sweats. Dennis keeps finding me things to do so I am losing it. LOL Every day I start at 7am and don't stop. I need to have time off.
As Pippin says there is nothing like fresh air. Doesn't matter that it is cool, it is time to get an exchange of air before we can't open the windows.
Ozzy has departed. Dennis and Nathan doing another dump run today and tomorrow continuing. It means I am it for dogs. No exercise yet. No eating yet but we are trying. after Smores departs.
Dennis is waiting till Nathan gets up from his nap so they can continue so I figured I would finish the blogs. I am going to exercise after they get back and try to eat too.
Dogs really are curious why the furniture and many plants are gone. We still have some plants to take in. It seems like it never ends.
I am understanding Harlow more. She starts to cough when her tummy gets full and when too full, the tummy pushes up against the lungs making it hard to breathe. This is a strong indicator that she needs to be drained. When she gets drained, she is back to being happy. Now that we understand the process, we are not giving cough meds as all that does is suppress not eliminate the reason.
We just ran out of mousse - other than 3 cans. Can't find it locally so if you know where, let me know. Harlow uses it for meals to maintain and she uses it for her meds. I usually get it from Petsmart but although their site says in stock, it is not. Frustrated as she really needs it. I should have started hunting a week ago. Just wasn't thinking.
Nathan tried to take Stryker to bed but he only wanted to play so he brought him back down. Going to be interesting Monday night when he is the only one left.
Now Dennis wants me to pile any boxes we maintained so he can bring them to the dump. Is there a theme there?
Are you hibernating or doing Fall cleanup. I want to hibernate.

I think I finished planting the garden except 1 tree peony, I know, dig up more lawn!
Houseplants to bring in are covered nightly to protect from frost, yes, I'm kinda late but others to be dried for over winter, I'll just bring into garage to dry up till ready to lay up in basement, I save a number of tubers for the next year.
Oops, I'll check for mousse on Monday, gardening today since I minded my brother's kids on Sat.
Too much work to bring them in. I still have some succulents to do but pups take priority. Luna departs, Stryker needs to adjust and Yoshi's pen gets taken down and pups move to larger digs. Nathan says a quiet day - I said for you. LOL
Are you going to finish today with plants? I hope so. It is rather cold outside. My leaves were getting burned on my tropicals. They will recover. We still have lights to put up. Come March Dennis is saying can't we get them outside? Not yet! Got to do leaves too - sigh
Ah, ran out of time today, they're under a huge plastic tarp on the front porch facing south. Bathed Pixie today, one job a day it seems is all I can do🤣 Had to cook up some fresh ground meat for them combo of beef,pork and lamb and saving the rest for us to make a nice meatball soup for tomorrow.Yum!
I was cutting back pots after we took them in as too tall for grow lights.So much to do when you winterize. Crazy process to save money and have large plants when spring comes. My plumeria has burnt edges to the leaves. Took too long to get inside but it will come back. Every day we do more. Dennis has to do the pond.
