Tuesday

Okay...here's your last chance to make a donation for my Run/Walk/Crawl for the Cure this Sunday...the link is https://www.cibcrunforthecure.com/html/participant_search.asp
Just type in Annie McKinnon and the location is Halifax...
This weekend I decided to rip out the large overgrown rose bush thingy that was taking over the front of my house. I looked like a giant lilac bush but it would get these pretty pink blossoms in the summer for about two weeks. The problem was that it was about 2 ft high when we got here and grew over 12 feet high and about 8 ft wide. It was covering most of my front porch and front door and quite honestly I hated it. First I thought I could dig it up and move it...haha...it was too large so then I thought I could trim it and then dig it up and move it...hahaha...still too large. So I hacked it up and Mike pulled out the root ball for me. Did I mention it was a rosey bush with lots of thorns. I look like I lost a fight with ten cats by the time it was out. I am soooo happy with the result. You can see my front door now.
Connor and I "stole" some corn husks from his father's field before it was all chopped the other day and yesterday Josee and I went and "stole" some bales of straw from their barn...having a brother in law as a farmer is working out great for my fall decorating...thanks, Jeff. Mike thinks I am whacked for decorating for fall with corn husks and hay bales. I think it looks great.
Today is laundry day again...yes, that's what my life has become...hay bales and laundry...I need a job. I am getting my housework done, the laundry done and I am wondering how I did it while I was working...was I crankier then (I know Mike is thinking that's not possible), did I sleep?? Not too sure. My house seems no cleaner than it was (okay, I did have a cleaning woman for a while in Halifax), the laundry doesn't seem to get done any faster...not too sure.
I have filled a police check form so I can volunteer at the school...hope that goes well...haha.
