City:
The raked back yard is as civil as it is going to get for a while. It occurred to me today that the first step in reno needs to be the garden shed in the back corner - a place to put stuff from the house for the duration. Also, will need to move the herb bed and some day lilies if, as I am hoping, a sunroom becomes a reality, and a bunch of perennials to make room for garden shed. In the meantime, I went off for plain yogurt and came home with a shades of red petunias hanging basket, a nice addition to the back yard and easily movable! There is a large pile of garden refuse that needs to be bagged - next week! It is out of the line of sight!

Two loads of laundry today and need to remake the bed. Have triaged a bunch of stuff to take to mill - just to clear bits of non-essentials. Actually got R to take the dead grass snipper to the trash!!!

HE came home last night and flopped on the love seat without even noticing that I had cleared it of papers! Looked horrified when I pointed out that his (precious) papers were now laid out neatly on the desk. IF they are so bloomin' important -DO something with them. (I did not say out loud!) The LR is somewhat more civil.

The celery soup was just in time for our late supper; it is served in a bowl with a piece of toast topped with cheese, which of course melts, and bits of sausage or Ikea meatballs. Could have pieces of hard boiled egg instead of meat. Yummy. Now have black beans cooking for - whatever. Maybe a soup of a different flavour - with salsa added. Made blueberry pancakes for bf with rice flour instead of buckwheat; we agreed buckwheat is much nicer.

It was a gorgeous day - sunny, cool, breezy. We are due a few more. I could live with this all year round! Guess most of us could!
