I have a side yard that is much smaller than the space maeve described, but I decluttered it this evening. The greenbriar was trying to grow over old fence slats and chicken wire and landscaping timbers plus some other leftover construction stuff. Kind of in the way she has to wash dishes before soaking laundry, I mowed the front lawn before everything was moved out of the side yard. The timbers and slats were taken down to the curb to be placed on the mowed corner, for the trash or for someone looking for firewood. I pulled out the lawn mower and gave that area a thorough going over.

Okay, a favorite (new) British mystery program on PBS is coming on in a few minutes. I promised myself that when it started I would sit in front of the living room television and fold all of the laundry on the couch and in the dryer.
