Randomania




Older daughter got her college diploma delivered to our house. Opened it up - spelled her last name wrong on the diploma - mailer was correct. Don't they have anyone checking these? Yeesh.

Spent the day shopping today. First to McKay's a used bookstore chain in Knoxville, Nashville and Chattanooga. OD did real well on her trade-ins. We didn't take any. Then, on to Target. No Target stores near Cookeville, closest is in Mt. Juliet (near Nashville). Their store is on the small size and the one at Turkey Creek in Farragut is a super Target. Tons of stuff there.

Watching a couple of squirrels chasing each other up a down the big ? tree out front. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, but it's big.

I find it hard to accept that it is only May. The weather, when it hasn't been raining, has been pretty spectacular. Monday and Tuesday were particularly nice, with Monday being nice and cool and conducive to working outside.

Speaking of working outside, this is what we did in the back. Also explain why my knees hurt so much! Top photo is taken from the bench and the bottom photo is taken from the deck. Also plan to plant a couple bushes in the general area where that hose reel sits and a semi-privacy fence on the left of the walk near the top.
