Managing

Here is a mini gallery.

Tomorrow is my day off - 1st in a very long time. I may stay in bed late. We shall see. But the blogs will be small, Still do them. Still take photos but no chores as much as I can get away with. 

It is not cold out. Okay, it is cooler out and we need to do leaves but it has to be dry 1st. 

Mr. Pippin will be going home tomorrow. I will be doing his grooming just before bed. 

A dog (will go nameless) got behind the tv room tv and took it out - well all the cords by us trying to get them out. It seems there was an antler there and they went to retreive it. Oh boy Dennis had fun plugging it all back in to get it to work again. I said it was an opportunity to vacuum behind the tv cabinet? He just looked at me and did just that. So laughing as I was teasing him. 

Now the dogs are all over the couch and chairs and crates etc watching tv with Nathan. 

Guess with the time change, it is about to get dark. Joy - not!

I can kinda relate, bringing in the rest of the houseplants forces me to move the coffee table, move the couch, move the plant stand, wash the windows, wash the floor then return the plant stand, rearrange all the new additional plants and lighting, move back the couch and watch as my 2 check out the new sightlines from the top of the couch.
See why I delay doing this.
Oh, still have plants to take to garage to dry off for basement storage in the winter and also pull up tubers.🤷‍♀️

Making any progress, Dorothy? Too wet out there but I am at the point what is out there now dies. We have to do a huge job bringing in plants. We have a system that has hanging grow lights, grow lights that are vertical and watering systems all to set up in the basement and in Dennis bedroom. If you go outdoors, it appears we have a grow operation and we do of sorts but flowers not drugs. LOL

Got most done, just the tubers and 1 plant and of course the budding neighbor bought me another perennial that I have to plant.
We have those pink lights as well, just for flowers and yes we do get asked if we grow anything else, nope!

Ours are full spectrum but not pink. We have ours daisy chained and we have stand side ones that throw natural light from all directions. Each year we add when they go on sale. It's beyond ridiculous but cheaper than buying each year.
