House and Garden Day

Normally this would be Walkabout Friday, but I decided instead to stay home and tend to household matters. Here's a list of what I did today.

- Got breakfast at Sbux and took Hubby to work

- Drove home, ate breakfast, watched a few minutes of Desperately Seeking Susan

- Folded blankets, put them in the couch cubby; found two throw pillows I've been meaning to give to Goodwill; they were filthy so I put them in the tub to soak

- Snuggled babies. Miss C has a fever 

- Put together my new wind spinner, a Mother's Day gift from M and the babies

- Installed the wind spinner outside B's window

- Watered the shrubs and trees in front with M and the babies; vinegared a few sidewalk weeds

- Spoke to our favorite neighbor, Bill, who lives across the street

- Cleaned up garbage and moved just about everything from the south side yard to the backyard. Used my recently-fixed wheelbarrow to move some heavy stuff. Decided to name it Cisco after Kevin Costner's horse

- Rested. Whew.

- Blogged. Heyyyyy 

- Did some pruning...

- Some watering...

- Some nice loud cleaning of the very dirty hammock

- Sat outside in the shade with this guy

....all while either making lots of noise or eavesdropping on the neighbors 😁

(cuz I'm 12)

Sitting out here, I realized what a sweet little shady spot is right here under the apple tree. Maybe we need to lay down some outdoor tiles and create a living space 

- Ate lunch late, unbagged my latest Goodwill yarn bundle, turned on The Truman Show

- Picked up Hubby from work; rested

- More pruning

- Installed my Mother's Day gift from B, this cute hanging birdbath

- Listened to Hubby mow the front lawn

Feeling a lot better about things tonight. Work and productivity always help me. Remind me of that next time, won't you?
