things are fairly ok at this little moment in time.\u00a0 yesterday i power-washed the deck and now it looks dazzling, i’m happy to say.\u00a0 it’s one of those things i do in may, at the latest.\u00a0 because of the cold and the constant rain, and, oh yeah, spending most of my time at the hospital, it didn’t get done til yesterday.<\/p>\n
the old green furniture covers that dad bought a looooong time ago were still covering most of the outdoor furniture.\u00a0 i lugged all the plants from the hot tub room out to the back yard, and then made a huge mess on the deck cause i transplanted them into the pots there.\u00a0 huuuuuge mess everywhere, besides the huge mess of those awful twirly things that fall from the trees.\u00a0 hmm, there must be a more official name for them?\u00a0 there’s even a common name that’s better than twirly things.\u00a0 spinners.\u00a0 can’t think of it.\u00a0 i’m pretty sure they’re from the oak tree, but not even clear about that.<\/p>\n
anyway, there were thousands of them, plus since it was such a very late spring i hadn’t wanted to clean the deck cause they needed to fall before doing it.<\/p>\n
like i said, dazzling.\u00a0 i’d be out there right now enjoying it but it’s not even 60 degrees yet.<\/p>\n
and oh yeah, i have more than one million things to do.<\/p>\n
in addition to the power-washing, which made my heels numb, i guess because it was a little bit chilly outside, i also cut back some of the jungle of bushes with the electric hedge trimmer.\u00a0 i only have a little more of that to do.<\/p>\n
kevin helped in the yard a lot yesterday.\u00a0 this morning when i finally staggered out of bed, he was sitting here on the screened porch and i was looking forward to chatting with him before i throw myself into the day.\u00a0 but he made his coffee and disappeared, and now he’s back in the basement.\u00a0 i might be able to lure him up here later, maybe with oatmeal cookies.<\/p>\n
in the midst of everything else, i had to go to washington d.c. for a few days last week, and got back on friday.<\/p>\n
i will tell you about that sometime, and about the comedy of errors that was my attempt to get back here.\u00a0 i flew, mostly, but would have made better time if i’d driven.<\/p>\n
ok, once more, into the brink,<\/p>\n
