Small Projects

I never did post anything on "Finish it up Friday", so I thought I could play along with Crazy Mom Quilts and do a small project list for May.  Here it is two days past the middle of May and I haven't put up my list yet.  But, I have been thinking about it and hoping that I will be able to cross out completed projects. You will notice that they don't involve much sewing, but it is MAY! Yard work calls or "rears its ugly head". Anyway, here goes:

Read a book
Shop online for quilt backing
Blow the maple seeds off the driveway, once, twice, thrice
Dig up the fountain
Fill in the hole with lots of dirt
Weed out lots of purple Lamium I don't intend to get it all, but this stuff is invasive--I am keeping the pink ones.
Transplant one Canterbury Tales DayLily
Transplant one Bleeding Heart
Edge the back lawn with my new edger This took three separate attacks over two weeks as it got too wet to use it.
Mow the back lawn twice I have to mow it twice to get all the grass clumps from the wheels chopped up.
Mow the front lawn twice Same reason as above and you will see it repeated for each week in May.
Shop online for quilt backing
Dig out the Russian Sage and get it out of the window well
Plant three Hosta
Spray with Rabbit Repellent  so it has a chance of surviving.  Rabbits are not a problem in the back yard because the dogs are out there a lot.
Move the bird bath  Miss M. helped as it was too heavy for me to do it alone. The cardinals came and took a bath soon after I finished filling it--small reward for my effort. Two robins came a little later.
Edge the front driveway, right side This took over an hour as it hasn't been done in years AND two Advil.
Edge the left parkway side of the driveway This also took over an hour for this little strip. I may need a sharper edger...and a younger body.
Relocate and raise the fountain being sure to get it level I like it, but do WONDER if I should have just kept it where it was and I have to look for the timer--may be another small project there.
Mow the back lawn twice
Finish edging it  
Mow the front lawn twice
Plant six Betsey Boo dwarf iris
Transplant three purple ones
Plant a peony and it better be PINK like its picture. (This is the third one and I don't WONDER why the others got dug up soon after blooming)
Plant three Coneflowers Of course that involved compost, more dirt and all that good stuff, also for--
Plant three Yarrow I just planted three because I may not like them.  I planted some white ones three years ago, but they vanished.
Weed the Russian Sage that is persisting on growing Will probably have to use RoundUp next week.
Buy a black obelisk and, singlehandedly, get the Sweet Peas in it    YES!
Buy a boxwood to replace the one that died and dig it in
Mow the back lawn twice
Mow the front lawn twice
Transplant the Magnus Coneflower
Transplant one Canterbury Tales Day Lily
Transplant one Canterbury Tales Day Lily
Transplant/divide white Japanese Iris clump when done blooming
Clean out the dry creek and fill with more pebbles
Get wood chips from the Village for the back, bench area and path  Repeat as many times as necessary.
Buy and plant Annuals:
Impatiens
Petunias
Alyssum
Dianthus
Moss Rose
Vinca
Spikes
Read another book, just to sit out on the patio and enjoy the view
Finish the yellow baby cardi
Hopefully, all completed by Memorial Day-then I get to trim bushes as well as weed and mow, but that's another small project list.
