Saturday's Story

I woke up late on Saturday, due to my insomnia. I stripped the bed and washed the blanket and the bed spread first and then the sheets.

I spent the morning doing chores in the house. But, in the afternoon, I ventured outside. I dug out the dirt behind the mail box. I filled in the spot with sand (from the patio) and then replaced the patio stones.

I filled in the space with gravel from the patio and called it good. See photos.

Since I was working in the back on the patio anyway, I decided to put everything back the way it should be for summer. So, first, I used the string trimmer to cut back the ground cover and the oregano. Then I took the blower and cleaned off the crap. I took the hose and washed the cement down. Then I put the patio furniture back in place. I hosed that all down to get off the dust (I need to scrub them to get the winter crud off, though). Finally, with the help of the furniture dolly, I got the chiminea back outside. See photos, again.

I warmed up some of the pasta, tomato sauce and meatballs for a late lunch/early dinner.

I took the rest of the day off, trying to rest my right arm. It's still killing me...
