The humidity this week is dreadful, making outdoor work risky without frequent breaks. I popped weeds in advance of mowing, but mowing isn't happening until it's cooler near sunset.

The next fence panel pieces are in the yard. I have to paint the pickets with wood preservative, top/bottom, edges, and both faces, so once it's up it's completely protected. If you paint preservative on after building the fence you miss spots. I did myself a favor and pulled the gazillion staples and tags as they came out of the back of the SUV, so they're ready to treat.

Tomorrow's trash will again be filled with dog hair (the bouffant was particularly large this morning) but I'm also going through canisters in the kitchen, dumping dry goods that are way too old. Quinoa shouldn't be that old in anyone's kitchen, and some of the faux-flour ingredients I bought when I was trying to reduce gluten in my diet are way past their prime. I have fresh stuff to put in these emptied canisters.

One Freecycle offer and one eBay item were each taken off of their listings, they took too long to be claimed and will now go to Goodwill. I have decided to list the last of the Amazon tablets, clearing what was an embarrassment of riches as far as tablets and phones.
