| What lawn or garden chore do you find the most difficult, challenging, tedious, unpleasant, etc., and why? | Watering bc I have to haul water to one of the wooded beds if we plant anything new in it (can’t survive get on its own) and to the window box on the garden shed that looks like a miniature of my house (sooo cute!!!). The hose won’t stretch that far bc those beds are far back past our pet cemetery (another raised woodlands type garden that the sprinkler system reaches very well on three sides. It’s hot and humid in Alabama, and I’m getting pretty old. I carry the water in gallon jugs. Additional issue: He “forgets” to water everything, especially those beds mentioned above, when it’s my turn to go stay out of town to care for my charming elderly mother. | ||||||||||
| What’s your favorite thing to grow, and why? | Flowers and blooming herbs bc they are so uplifting to look at. | ||||||||||
| What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing? | Actually, I feel optimistic about it, but I still end up buying more container plants to again take up all that deck space. Then I feel overwhelmed as they grow bigger very fast and I have to step around them to water, risking a fall. | ||||||||||
| When do you expect to downsize your living arrangements? | I expect to live in my current home until the end of my life. | ||||||||||
| How would you feel about having to give up 50% or more of your current possessions in a downsizing move? |

| Complete this phrase: “Spring is _.” | “Spring is sinus infection season.” “Spring is 90+ degrees in Alabama—just like fall.” 😉 | ||||||||||
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | 1. Have either—or both—of you ever gone to those tourist areas on bridges when the millions of bats fly overhead at dusk? That looks really cool. Unfortunately, the weekend when we were in The Woodlands for a concert, we did not know about the wild bat “attraction” in Houston. 2. Where do your clients who journal store their completed books? I have been journaling since 1979. I have considered choosing certain ones to shelve in a shorter bookcase in one of my extra bedrooms where I get dressed. (No bed in there.) The rest of the journals will remain tucked away in a downstairs closet, where they have been accumulating since 1995. I don’t want to destroy or throw them away. I was just wondering if either of you have come across this issue and any possible solutions. I have over 100 completed journals of all sizes. Thank you both. :): | ||||||||||
