Basement cleaned and about an hour outside giving the hostas breathing room as I removed all the plants that are not Hosta around them. They are doing well now and with the roots of the other plants I pulled (but didn't always get the roots) will have lots of food for the coming dry spell! There is still lots to do and the lawn does need cutting. Probably this weekend will see the lawns cut. We are not quite the last ones on the street to cut the lawn but close. I do like the dandelions to bloom for the bees though. My husband is horrified for sure as he would never have let these dandelions live in his lawn. I used to help him pull them up but when the city suggested leaving the grass a bit so the bees could work the dandelion flowers I thought it was a great idea and went right into that thought and there I have stayed.
I also spent time on matches; not as much as I would have liked but the cleaning does always come first and that was accomplished in good time and is getting easier and easier actually as I organize things into areas that work very well for me. Out of the way so that I do not run into anything and neat so they stay readily where they are put. Fourty more matches to sort from FT DNA and then I think I will move to GedMatch next as I have been going in and out of that file looking at items and there are some new interesting matches there uploaded from Ancestry. The last task will be Living DNA and a quick look at My Heritage to see if there are any new ones there. It took me a long time to extract all the matches from My Heritage and do not want to let that get behind again. Mostly I am using the DNA side of all of these databases and not so much time researching as I am back pre-census in most lines and I have pulled most of the BMB data from the records for my people back into those registers. I seldom use other people's trees other than to locate the likely relationship because of the DNA match.
Some discussion on the Gold Dome yesterday and I continue with my opinion that it is a very interesting idea and I do think we should be all in on it. For the most part of our existence as a country we have been with the United States in terms of how to protect the continent and this idea continues to be in my mind a worthwhile expenditure of funds if only to halt items falling out of the sky before they do damage especially with so much being up there in terms of space craft and all such things. The new radar system we purchased from Australia will fit right into this scheme.
The devil stalks our world in main time these days and we must do all we can do to cast the devil and his workers out whether figuratively or literally. God has given us a message that we should love our neighbour as ourself. If someone is not doing that then they are on the wrong side with God. I think one should read love as respect for our neighbours property rights and way of life (so long as it doesn't interfere with anyone for sure from a legal position). A devil free world is a wonderful ambition I think.
Teatime finished, solitaire games played and it is breakfast time and I am late today. The fresh air and work outside saw me sleep in a bit I guess. It is raining so perhaps not a lot of work outside today although I have one full bag and a partial bag. I would like to fill the partial one as well and there is lots out there to put in it. The Starry Solomon Seal I transplanted last year actually came up and the hosta as well that I transplanted (both of them) and so I want to move more of the Starry Solomon Seal to the back corner as it is a perfect spot for it to grow and multiply. The gooseberry bush also survived the fence building and several other flowers that I had not expected to survive.
