Another morning with plans to work in the yard, and another morning rainstorm. I'll let it dry before I mow. Then there is a new bed to start and to move some cannas to it before they get too established in their temporary site. My arms are feeling the effect of several days of digging.

I'm going to add an extra reinforcing long screw to the new mailbox - I've been meaning to finish that before I forget about it. If I have an angle iron to attach under the outside in the middle I can do that, otherwise on the inside compartment I'll drill through the back and into the wall stud and add a long screw with a washer. As of now there is only one long screw in the stud, the rest are perched in drywall.

Ex and I are taking some old cans of paint and garden chemicals to the municipal drop off. I checked with next door to see if they have anything to go - not this time. It takes a village sometimes to responsibly get rid of hazardous products. Six cans various sizes and a bottle of what might have been gasoline stabilizer - the label dropped off and it's time for this mystery product to go away.

The donation bin in the laundry room has slowly accumulated castoffs, and I typically lift the lid and drop things in without looking so I don't know how much is there now. Time to check.
