Getting the Job(s) Done

I have been sitting here in the loft watching the long twilight deepen.  The continual procession of people along the lake path seldom slows.  Occasionally a couple will sit down on the bench and just watch the ducks and swans.  It is a peaceful scene.

It is P-day today and we have worked on the apartment.  I worked at cleaning around the front door of the apartment.  I swept outside and worked on the blinds and windows inside.  SK worked on our little patio.  The garden space he is working on is about 5 feet square and has the stump of a tree in the middle.  He has been pulling weeds and attacking errant tree roots with a vengeance.

But I think the tree got the better of him.  After working for several hours in a row, he came in, showered and went to bed.  I have been trying to get him to drink liquids ever since.  I hope a good night's sleep will rejuvenate him.  Sometimes we forget we are getting a little older!  He is such a trooper and is always ready to go and do.

This is a "before" shot...soon I will show you the "after."



The afternoon has given me plenty of study time which has been very nice.  I have been working on a Sunday School lesson, and a couple of other projects.  And I am still trying to memorize D&C 4 in Danish.  If I get that down, it will be a miracle.

We saw this little plaque in the window of a shop by the bus stop.  For some really dumb reason, I love it.
 Time to make out the week's menu and shopping list.....

  1. Hey! I WAS waiting for a sign!

    I am excited to see the "after" picture of your patio.

    I saw a sign the other day at a store. It said, "When someone told my I was living in a fantasyland, I nearly fell off my unicorn."

    1. THAT is funny! We ought to compile a list of funny signs...we could make a book!
      The "after" picture will follow "after" Thursday.

  3. Yes....I will not let him do that again. It is different here with such high humidity and you can get overheated just like in Gilbert. L&P
