Oh. My. God. IT's GRASS!
For the first time all summer, we
got serious rain. And we got it not once, not twice but three times in the same
week. Following last Friday evening's soaker, all of a sudden we had a yard
again. For me, not having to mow and weed eat has been the silver lining of the
season's extreme temperatures and subsequent drought.
I never realized that I really did
miss it.
Especially now, now that the yard
is mowed and neatly trimmed and the associated mess cleaned up and (as of this
afternoon) hauled away. Driving up to the house today, it was nice to see. Of course,
it required a detour from my existing to-do list. That seems to be a theme
around here though.
It took a good chunk of Sunday to
complete. And, because I was busy with that, and because the wind was a little
on the blustery side, I didn't get the last of the trim for the bathroom
painted. (I sprayed it.) I rectified that today. It's all getting good and dry
now downstairs. Now, to get it cut AND up.
I did manage to accomplish lining
out the rest of the hardware for the bathroom (glass Victorian knobs). A quick
trip to Home Depot remedied that this afternoon. (I needed, of all things, a
wingnut.)
So, I'm happy to report, the
bathroom is officially in the home stretch. Super YAY! Stay tuned for details …
