I'm doing three things at once this afternoon - I cleared some branches so I could mow the far back of the yard - cleared by running them through the chipper. And the mowing is starting on the north side of the yard near the clothesline so I can hang up the laundered dog bedding. In for a cool down now, then out with the bedding and after it's up I'll finish mowing. I have a bag of chips beside the front gate to use in the garden later on. I didn't put the chipper away, I may do another bag before I am finished this afternoon.

Looking online for shade cloth, a sturdy outdoor fabric for letting some light through. I have 60/40 cloth on top of my patio cover, and I'd like to make some roll-up blinds with it to hang from the sunny side of the patio cover. Summer is here, it's time to put that in place. The house stays a lot cooler and the electric bill is lower with a shade out there. I think I'll end up ordering from Lowes.

Once the sun is down I still have stuff to do, mostly declutter - paper to file, eBay things to organize and pack. It's time to get stuff listed again.

Keeping my eye on the Catspaw thread. He's fought the good fight, he's come back to charm us again and again, but this time I think he's beyond medical reach. Rest in peace, Pat.
