Sounds like a great start, Tam, and you're miles ahead of some of us. Ironing curtains - that is ambitious!

Secret Santa 2013 has been launched. If you have things you want to declutter that are good and interesting and small enough to ship you might want to participate and pass said items along to an appreciative Santee. Just a thought (we need more players, it has gotten a bit slim the last couple of years).

Out to mow the front now that the rain from last night has mostly soaked in. And I can consider putting out the watering system that I purchased last spring and didn't do anything with because of the drip at that faucet. It's a brass 4-spigot fitting with a timer so that different zones can be watered as needed, all from the tap on the house via hoses and not trenching to put in a PVC watering system. I still have a couple of new hoses to put into play also. I could also decide this is too fussy and take it back to Home Depot.
