If I’d of known that a project I was keeping on the back burner was going to go out without any need to retouch it, I would have spent much of yesterday’s warm sunny afternoon cutting the grass, moving brush, and pulling up weeds. Now it’s 5°C and rainy, and I don’t much feel like being out of doors. Not my cup of tea. 16°C like yesterday, and partially sunny is a far better option. I obviously cannot leave the grass untouched until we get some more of that weather, so once the grass dries out I can cut it, provided it doesn’t rain — again.
I have both the Dahlia bulbs, and the Glads ready & waiting in the garage now, to be buried in the front garden. I started to pull some weeds, but I have an hour or two of that to do ahead of me still. I wanted the beds clean before I planted any of the nicer stuff, but I might have to do both at the same time. Planting, and weeding that is.
I could drag the brush to the farm I guess. I’m concerned the vehicle will get stuck in the mud with how wet it has been since last night. All well and good to clear the yard, but getting the van stuck at the farm doesn’t help me at all. I also found out the wood cleaner for the power washer, so that I can tackle the deck at some point soon. I had big plans around here, and I’m being stymied by the weather! D’oh!
In other news the garage is as wide open as it will ever be. Feels pretty good. Can’t wait to build something useful for the house. Or a desk for my oldest child. I have a good quantity of Cherry, so whatever I make it will be pretty nice! I hope. Might put the deck on hold though, as her room is pretty crammed with toys at the moment. Unless I stick a new desk right, smack dab in the centre of the room, there isn’t anywhere to put on just yet. All the toy bins, and toy stacks, and toy piles need to go. She’ll age out of that stuff in another 2 to 3 years, so no rush. She can remain my kid for a while longer. Hold off on moody pre- teen angst for as long as we can!
