Snake didn't work. I'll have to try something else and meanwhile wash small loads of laundry and stand there and lift the lid every time the drain pipe fills up to the top. Let it dribble out for a few seconds, then close the lid again. Do that a dozen times during the load and at least I have clean laundry until I figure this out (or get money for a plumber).

Oh, my aching butt! I trimmed the front yard, cleaned more in the garage, and weeded a couple of iris beds. It's just about time for the big bloom, I may have one open in a day or two. I want to get the ugly dry grass and the new tall green grass away from the flowers so they look stunning on their own.

Lots down at the curb this evening.
