Sunday was quite the lovely day. We took a short walk in the morning, but we walked the Elder Cedar trail in the afternoon. The rest of the day passed easily and pleasantly because it was a nice bright day. I even did some yard work, but not much because I got too tired. I hope to do more today.
Grayson did not come yesterday but he will be here today. Yesterday would have been a great day for him to work because it was bright and sunny, but today and all the rest of the week looks amazing. We’re getting endless sunshine for a while and temperatures will reach as High as 18°! Hooray!
Yesterday, I got outside to do yard work. I had a large pile of crap left over from the bomb cyclone months ago. It was too wet to burn, so I had to shovel it all into the wheelbarrow and schlep it into the backyard dump. It was overwhelmingly exhausting, but I persevered, taking breaks to recover my breath.
Now all the branches, cones and tons of needles are gone and I’m ready to call Gabriola Disposal to have all the shite from the sheds taken to the dump. Once they come to take all the crap I’ve piled in the driveway, my front yard will once again look like I care about keeping Pinecone Park looking tidy.
And all the remaining work is for Grayson. I will attend to raking the lawns, the courtyard and the driveway when he is finished. That’s light work that I can do. Otherwise, the rest is for him, and then I call Henri to come to clean up the garden beds. And today is a gorgeous day. I’m glad Grayson can work in dry sunny weather.
I’ll be sawing some branches today. I’ll be using my girlie chain saw and not sawing my hand. When that is done, I plan to take the siding off one of the woodsheds to increase air circulation inside. Grayson will use the siding I remove to widen the roof to keep rain off the wood.
It’s going to be a good day!
