This morning I glanced at a To-Do list I stuck to the fridge last year; most of the big ones were still open. I'm happy to announce that all of the items on that old list were finished. In the last 12 months I cleared and extended the garden, did a lot of compost tasks, I got all of the concrete, mortar, stone and rock building work done on both the front wall and the keyhole garden. I also had phone wiring listed, but since I don't have a wired phone any more, that isn't necessary. I will make a new list and make a note of completing some data wiring to two rooms (uses a different jack), a modification of the old plan. Whew!
I mowed the front lawn early this morning and did a little watering and transplanting. I have more transplanting and weeding, but I'll pace myself and save most of it for evening.
It's hot but breezy out, and I was in the shady part of the back yard with the dogs this afternoon when the grandkids from next door came out into that yard. We had quite a pleasant conversation over the back fence.
