During the month of June, we saw more things open back up here in Florida so I’ve been venturing out more, if you can call it that, by actually going inside the grocery store, Ulta and Joanns. I still haven’t eaten at a restaurant and even if they were open wouldn’t set foot in a bar as it’s believed a lot of the increase in C-19 cases we’re seeing here is due to socializing at bars. Have you been venturing out more?
With everything happening in the world with the coronavirus and social unrest, I’ve been spending more time in the Bible by doing a morning devotional or two six days a week and virtually joining multiple church services on Sunday. It’s been good for my soul and my outlook on things.
In June I spent more time doing projects around the house. I’ve spent more time in my yard this past month than I think I had all year. The reason is I started cutting my own grass again. I fired the guy who was doing it as he pretty much wrecked my yard. So I bought a new lawnmower and I love it. You can find out why below.
Additionally, I basked in the many iterations of 90 Day Fiance that TLC has been bringing us. My Sunday and Monday nights are pretty much all about 90 Day Fiance. There’s 90 Day Fiance the Other Way, 90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After, two versions of 90 Day Fiance Pillow Talk just to name a few. If you haven’t been watching this show, you are really missing out.

Sod plugs
If you own a house and have been struggling to get some bare spots in your yard to fill in, I would recommend giving sod plugs a try. They are essentially little squares of grass that you plan in the bare areas and over time they spread out and fill in the bare spots. I just planted mine so they haven't' started to spread but looking at the pictures in the reviews gives me hope they will.My new lawnmower
As I mentioned earlier I took back over mowing my lawn. This was mostly because I didn’t like the job the guy who was doing it did and I’m trying to patch up bare spots and they can’t be mowed for several weeks and I didn’t trust the lawn guy I was using to avoid them. So I bought a new lawnmower - the Kobalt 40-volt Max Cordless Electric Lawn Mower. Because it’s battery-powered and cordless I don’t have to mess with any gasoline. I have to say I love it.90 Day Fiance
