Could it finally be the day, the day we set out all of the lawn gear, patio furniture, solar lights, hoses, and garden decorations in preparation of the summer months? Yes, yes I believe today is that day. Sunny, warm and seventeen degrees at the height of the day. Perfect for lugging cold metal objects around the property.
I do have some new projects that came in early this morning to tackle first, but within a few hours I’ll be outside getting the house ready for outdoor use. It’s to rain heavily for a few days so the table and chairs will get a good soaking to remove dust from the shed. Later on I can revisit them with a bucket of soapy water.
I’ll want to prune the trees and the hedges soon before they start to bud properly. No need to waste all that precious energy on limbs I intend to remove.
Taxes are off to the accountant, so it’ll be a few days before I hear anything back about any of that. I’ve had word of new big ticket items coming my way in May, which is terrific news. Always happy to have work on the calendar and/or schedule.
Youngest child is home sick, all gooey, and with a hacking cough. Guess what I have to look forward to next week? My own cough and cold! You guessed it. Wonderful. Best stock up on Robitussin, and Day-Quil, and can’t forget NyQuil. I hate spring time colds. With any luck the added moisture and humidity in the air will help me get better faster. One can hope.
Will I put my back out moving the big table today? Don’t know. But we can give it the old college try!
