I haven't been up to much lately. Monday and Tuesday, I did two weeks' worth of laundry and put most of it away. Today, I have tackled picture frames. Lots and lots of picture frames. And a little kitchen cleaning.
I have a collection of portraits of my grandchildren at various stages of infancy. I love them all but have no wall space to display them, so it's time for me to find some other way. Album, perhaps? In any case, I need to get rid of the zillions of frames that were collected to display them and are just taking up space.
Two nights ago, I was out on the patio burning papers, cardboard boxes, and some limbs/twigs from the yard in the chimenea. I have a boatload of maple helicopters all over the place now. Trying to decide if I should burn them or put them in the trash. Big job! And I think the helicopter crop is only about half down, at this point. Then there are the gutters...
Trying to plan for the weeks ahead. It sounds silly, since all of my days are free, but I get overwhelmed trying to think of everything. Ugh!
I did mow the back yard this evening. It's only a 15-minute job, so no biggie. I have a request in to the dude who mows the rest for me. I think he's been sick. If he can't do it, I probably can. I'm just lazy! (Actually just old!)
We had scattered frost this morning, but the temp was up to 60 by noon. Hopefully this will be the last hurrah for nighttime cold. It IS a little late for frost... I will rely on the traditional Mother's Day planting date for annuals. Don't know when I will have the children here again.
Truth be known, I've been a little down since their visit a week ago. Not sure why. I mean, we had a good time...but things are so darned quiet around here after they leave that I lack direction and motivation. I hope things will get back to some semblance of normal in the near future. Whatever that means.
