I arose and dressed to mow this morning, and as I looked out the sliding glass doors a gentle rain had soaked the yard overnight. I'm going to wait a couple of hours and mow anyway, my plans today were set and while it will be a little sloppy the grass and weeds aren't so tall or thick it will be too difficult.

There are a couple of new pots beside the house with starts for Mexican plum (they were growing off of horizontal roots from the big tree where I put in the French drain), and my daughter wants those. I also have some plants I want to put in here, but finding the right place has been the question. One is a great butterfly attractor that likes full sun, and when I first moved into the house the front was nothing but ugly Bermuda grass and full sun. After 20+ years of trees growing that is no longer the case, but I think I have a spot. I'll have to struggle to keep the weedy vines out of it, though.

In general decluttering, I've been throwing out more stuff in the greenhouse and garage. I moved some shelving in the kitchen and am debating about moving appliances around on the existing shelves to the new taller wire rack (it used to be in the pantry). And I have more things to add to the Goodwill bin in my laundry room, to be donated soon. #DeckChairsOnTheTitanic
