I am imperssed with your seed starting! I love snap dragons too. I have been in Jamaica in the very warm weather and flowers all over and came back to cold and a little snow. It has warmed up a little now so I have spring fever again! I hope you are having a great week!

I had a big decluttering project today… I cluttered craft supplies and boy were there a lot! They are part of my job, and they accumulate. I was able to. Bring four garbage bags of fabric scraps another one of yarn plus an entire row of miscellaneous stuff that I put in a pile in front of my house. And my best friend took half a carload for her classroom. it took me seven hours, even though I usually do things a little at a time like you do. It felt good to get it done and now I have to take my son to the zoo tomorrow. He’s 15 so I feel honored that he still wants to go with me. We both love animals. The deer in your yard are adorable.

Hi Jodi great to see your video, I’ve bought compost to repot some indoor plants this week . Guest/grandbabies room has a new mattress, curtains/ curtain pole and lampshade, looks pretty now it’s finished 😍

[@josephdaly2015]

Great work done again. Clarke is adorable 🦮 The deer family are lovely I can’t believe they are so close to ye. I am wondering how there are any sweets left in the drawer tbh cause they wouldn’t last in our house 🤣🤣🤣 “ I don’t know if it’s 1 plant or 5” 😂 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏👍💪🙏💐🦮🐈‍⬛🦌

[@helenatkinson4730]

I enjoy hearing your cheerful voice and stories about your family as you do your cleaning and organizing. When you hung the basket outside by your door it reminded me of when you Stained your door. It looks so nice! I just can't get over how it transformed that door. Especially when you started with that horrible Orange color. Also, I would like to challenge you to try something and videotape it. It's called "slow vacuuming." It's pretty much what it sounds like. First, you do your regular vacuuming with your corded vacuum cleaner. Empty out your canister, and then you go back over that same space that you just vacuumed in super, super, super slow motion back and forth over the whole area. You will be absolutely amazed at how much you don't pick up at your regular speed! I know I tried it and was amazed and horrified! After that, I did slow vacuuming regularly. And I mean so slow it was painful. I don't do it quite as often, but I know when I do it, I will pick up so much more.

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Thank you so much Helen 🤗 Yes that orange color was so terrible I was scared 😂 I saw slow vacuuming on another channel, this crazy life, and tried it. It is crazy how much it picks up. I haven’t done it in awhile so thanks for the suggestion ❤️

Hi jodi, I hope you had a wonderful Easter! We did, our daughter came over. She & her hubby left Arkansas Thursday after noon. They came straight through, except for resting & eating, etc. They've been wanting to come back home for a long while! So glad they're here now! She everyone that she sees is really nice & pleasant to talk to! Ok, I love your bulbs. I can't wait to see them! Your snapdragons are coming, so cool! Clarke is so cute wanting to go out & play with the deer! You are awesome. Here in Eastern Washington, it's been in the 70's. Im not doing too much. I need to get my pots with flowers in them. Also, I've been working on a roll-up sewing roll for myself & a cosmetic pouch for a family member! I love your laughter & stories about your family. It feels like we're together & chit-chat! Well, have a great week. Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🐾🐾✨️

[@DonnaVilser]

When my tulips, daffodils, hyacinths etc are done blooming in the house I just dig a few holes in the side yard and plant them altogether. Let the leaves absorb the sunshine and die off naturally. I’ve been doing this for over 15 years. In the spring it’s absolutely gorgeous with bouquets of mixed flowers. People stop to take pictures. It’s all bulbs that I used to toss out before I started doing this.

[@shellycarson6563]

CWD (chronic wasting disease) in deer could be in your area. And when deer share food that is fed to them it makes it easier for it to spread to other deer. know thats one of the big reasons feeding deer in some areas is illegal. Maybe that will help curb the urge to want to feed them. 😂 but i do understand wanting to feed all the animals. 😊 New here and enjoying listening to your banter. Your upbeat and joyful attitude is so refreshing after a long day at work.

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Shelly it’s so hard!!! I put some tomatoes out for a groundhog that sometimes visits the yard 😂😂 he didn’t eat them though. I’ll have to look that up and see if it’s an issue here. I know one issue is they are so overpopulated right now and unfortunately it causes accidents daily around here with them running in the roads 🤦‍♀️ just breaks my heart

[@lisadearing5960]

Hi Jodi, I also use couch covers including one for hubs recliner, they are a thin gray velvet and wash up great. Unfortunately the minpin who has a nursing fetish, at 10 years old, and he chewed a hole about the size of a golf ball.🙄 Your dish towels are lovely, I have green and blue in my kitchen. I need to discard my abundant supply of microfiber cloths, many look pretty sad and I had bought some new ones for the cleaning scam last week. I need to go through my drawers and cabinets, they’re a wreck. We have had sunny, warm weather this past week in Denver. Thank you for this video.🙂

Hi, Jodi! Hope you and your family had a blessed Easter! I spent the day with my daughter and five granddaughters! We had brunch and then we had a cricut and my daughter made names on some cups she got us. Mine has Nana on it in purple! Then later I was taught a new card game called Kings in the Corner. It’s a type of solitaire card game but you play with two or more people. Fun times! Hugs to all! 🌷🐣🐰🐇💜

[@weroy77]

I got all excited cuz you shouted out my 80s word!! Haha So, I'm pretty decent at growing things and what I find is you need to keep your trays very moist and warm, I never take my dome off until 75% of the seeds have come up, then I worry about sunlight. Until then they need moisture and warmth and patience. Hope that helps ❤. And I love the basket by the door!!

Hi Jodi, i went to our local hardware and bought more paint because they had a sale buy1 get one free. Stocking up so when i feel like it, I can start painting on the interior of my house again. I have more hybrid daffodils coming up. I wasn't sure they would do anything because i was very late getting them in the ground. I made 5lbs of potatoes into potato salad Saturday and it's all gone. Made Texas sheet cake and a "no pecan" pie and it's gone too. I have been craving sweets to much lately, and made magic cookie bars last night. No wonder that i have gain 10 lbs. Sciatica still giving me problems, but not as bad. Need to do some exercises to help. Have a great week. God bless. P.s. love the white rabit, dish towels and dish cloths

Hi Jodi. I’m still resting my shoulder from surgery. Here in Cincinnati, Ohio it’s 66 degrees but we’re having storms most of the day. I can hear thunder in the distance and it’s getting dark out. Later is when the strong storms come through. It started about 6am with a lot of lightning and heavy rain. I hate when it storms when it’s dark out. I loved seeing Clark as always.

Oh my goodness, you have deer right in your backyard! They were so cute with their little tails. Are they an invasive species, that would answer why you can't feed them. Though, feeding wildlife is never a good idea. I have seen kangaroos in my backyard - back in Brisbane in an outer suburb - you don't usually get kangaroos in a more urban built-up setting - though you do get possums!

[@jodidunnmymessylife1847]

Holy cow I would flip out if I saw a kangaroo 😍 how cool!! The deer aren’t invasive but unfortunately are quite overpopulated the past year, which causes lots of car accidents when they run in the road

[@JulieS1961]

Clark was so cute whining at the deer. My oldest daughter and her family live by a wooded area and get lots of deer. Her neighbor feeds the deer and so they have lots of deer traffic. It was cute until my daughter discovered the deer eat her beautiful flowers outside. She has given up having flowers now.

[@wandamitchell8010]

Jodi, You can put dirt in a couple of baking pans and throw them in the oven bake on low heat about an hour. It kills everything. I suppose you could use the microwave. I made my own potting soil in the early 70’s.

Hi Jodi 👋yep. Chores take a while. Maybe for hubs, the pillows on the covers are a reaction of something he can CONTROL with all the craziness happening in the world right now!!! He may not even realize that's what it is. Great idea to use towels just for Clarke! Have you put those in a small basket or bucket with the rolled ends sticking out like flower buds? Yep I'd say you missed a bulb but that's ok. Those indoor pots of bulbs can go in the garage until January and then they'll be ready to start their 2 months growth for next year after theve been cold stratified. Daffys look great!!! Candy drawr😂 yep. Having a mini notebook in your purse with measurements of any stuff you want to future organize is a great tip i got from my MIL many years ago. She also had all the bed linen measurements and curtain measurements for every window by room in hers. Then when she found something she liked, she knew right away by checking her little book whether it would work or not. Like the MINI COMPOSITION books at dollar tree or a spiral one. Temps here today are hitting 80*f around 3-4 pm. But in 40s last night. Temps going down for the weekend, too! Deer ... You already feed them all those plants they eat in your garden. Seriously, you see cute, i see dinner on the hoof! Edit. . . Chooping carrots & celery during your vid today. Hopefully going to get oven cleaned tonight or tomorrow. Then it's on to other chores i haven't been able to do for a while. Unfortunately while my number of spoons of energy is larger, the size spoons are smaller. They require quicker break times. Lol

[@edieboudreau9637]

Jodi. Tackling my oven. Yours was great compared to mine. Finally got it clean enough that the automatic oven clean feature works. Not sure how well it will do. We will see. Oven cleaning is difficult when you can't do a lot of lifting ( oven door & warming drawer & top of stove) or bending & stretching to get inside it. Unfortunately it's been over 18 months. But today FINALLY. May have extra to do tomorrow. I'll find out in 4 hours when it finishes. Lol. That's my big chores this week. Planted some ginger root in my "raised garden bed"(tote)... Again. Been over 2 years since I've been able to. Just take a piece of ginger root with the whitish eruptions on it and plant it with that part up. Like iris. The entire plant is edible. I usually try to leave 1 piece of root deep in the bin but sometimes it doesn't make it through the winter. Especially when we have multiple up & down extreme temps like this year.
