I have a short day on Wednesday and am usually able to be home for most of the afternoon. Today I made a list of all the outdoor things that need doing for the yards to look great. I got right to it and have a lot done already and it is only 4;15! I’ve clipped, weeded, pruned, hauled, trimmed, raked, and, yes, sweated a bit. But the place looks much better. I even cleaned and bleached the bird baths. I need to quick throw some pennies in them, because that is supposed to keep all that awful mold from growing in them. Not sure how, but certainly worth a try.

We got the bed over Monday evening and slept there for the first time Monday. I’ve got most of the pink film off the cabinets – only 4 small ones to go and the garbage can cupboard front. Looks better in white. I’ve run two loads in the dishwasher. So nice!! Now I’m off to work on the flower beds over there!
