Welcome, @helibirdcomp, and thanks for sharing your dull banking and tax news. Banks in the US are required to post you an interest statement by the end of January if the amount is over $10. If it's under that, you can ignore it for tax purposes.
Havoc, yes, we're on two acres. The lot is a narrow rectangle that extends back into the woods. The stone wall is one of the boundaries. We've just discovered that a tree just on the other side of that wall is dead, so now have to speak to the neighbor about having it cut down.
Uman, the garden will look much better once my flowers start blooming in a few weeks.
And speaking of the garden, our landscaper sent us pictures of different varieties of boxwood plants to replace our dead rhododendrons. I selected the "winter gem" variety as it's the most hardy and we do get very cold winters here. Hopefully he'll be around soon to dig out the dead rhododendrons and plant them. They're not cheap at $129 each and we need four of them. Our old hose (hosepipe) for the front garden didn't survive the winter, so DH has ordered a replacement of better quality and a new hose reel for it. So the front garden is getting a lot of attention (and money) these days.
Math, my seasonal allergies kicked off a few weeks ago when the tree pollen started coming down. Then I had to go on antibiotics to have a tooth extracted. After I finished the ABs, I took a very potent probiotic called VSL3 that my gastroenterologist recommends, and overnight 80% of my allergy symptoms resolved! No fatigue, no headaches, no body aches, etc., just a bit of nasal congestion, but not enough to be bothersome. I thought there really has to be a connection, and looked into it. Sure enough, the gut microbiome regulates allergic responses:

There are reportedly several MoAs, but one is that the bacteria produce short chain fatty acids that down regulate the immune response and inflammation. It's worth a try if you're suffering.
DD is now sending loads of photos of her journey around London, most of which I can't share as either she or our SiL are in them. Think Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, The British Museum, etc.
Knowing I love cats, she did share this one from the British Museum.
