As in to-do list.<\/p>\n

I started the day with a number of things on my list of things to do.<\/p>\n

First up – Clean the pond. I don’t believe I’ve talked too much about how I like to keep the pond free of debris. But it’s one of those things I strive to do daily. Not because it’s a necessity, I just enjoy it better when it’s clean.<\/p>\n

The daily cleaning = netting out\u00a0any leaves or debris that may have blown in overnight.<\/p>\n

Today was the day to actually get in with the fish. During the summer months, I like to dip\u00a0in about once a week to clean out the lilly pads and flowers that are no longer bloom. Something like deadheading the lilies and pads.<\/p>\n

It also tickles me that the fish actually come swimming right up to me the moment I get in. They let me pet them and we’re like best\u00a0buddies. And if I stand in one place for a while, they begin to nibble on my skin. The whole experience truly makes my heart happy.<\/p>\n

Here’s an image I shot of one of the babies. I can hardly believe they are a year old this month. Yup, he was born in the\u00a0pond last year.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to give the roses some attention. I gave some a little extra TLC with a dose of coffee grounds. And while I was at it, I thought I’d shoot an image of the roses, but in a different perspective. I love the array color throughout the garden.<\/p>\n

And I took an image of this plant. It bloomed this week for the first time this season. Soon it will be loaded with pretty flowers.<\/p>\n

And then I had other things on my list.<\/p>\n

Things like returning an item back to the store. It wasn’t a\u00a0painful task,\u00a0but it sure felt like it. It’s one of those things I’ve been procrastinating. So it’s a relief to have that little pesky thing crossed off.<\/p>\n

And picking up some items at Bed Bath and Beyond. I was particularly excited with this stop as I had three 20% off coupons + one $5.00 off coupon + one $25.00 gift card. I’ll say I made out really well today.<\/p>\n

One last stop at the grocery store for some much needed grub and then home sweet home.<\/p>\n

My list also included some household chores, laundry and ironing. Done, done and DONE!<\/p>\n

And then I got to do something that wasn’t on my list. I took a nap. Because my peepers were heavy, so I gave them a\u00a0rest. And that sure did a body good.<\/p>\n

And now we’re heading into a nice 3-day weekend. I’m really looking forward to it, as we have a few fun gardening things on our weekend list of things to-do.<\/p>\n

Cheers to To-Do lists and getting things crossed off.<\/p>\n

Happy Weekend Friends!<\/p>\n
