Outside

Wow, is it pretty outside, today! This is the first time in many months that I have been able to sit on the back porch to write.

Wow, are my household projects taking longer than I thought they would! Pleasants, oddly, gave me a bit of trouble about picking up the storm window that my fix-it service ordered for me. I have no one to blame but myself, however, for trying to put said window in upside down and backwards, for at least twenty minutes. And before that I had to clean the two newly installed glass panes, and then sand and paint the muntins around those two panes.

Another chore was spreading mulch. You know where this is going: I didn't buy enough. No one ever does. Also, I vacuumed the pond liner (empty for a week now), refilled it, and put in a new fountain pump. I do love the pond, even though it is pretty silly. So the yard looks good, but the house is still mid-project.

I thought I would get to sanding and priming the doors that fix-it man shaved down, but that ain't happenin. Oh, and then there's the disassembled lamp on the living room floor. I tried to buy a new socket bit from memory, but I need to bring it with me.

(Ha! That bird's a grackle, not a woodpecker.)
