Sally.....may I ask you to please start a part two of this thread? One of these days I may learn to do it, but for now I hope you will oblige us.
Lots of laughs here today....mostly from Ric. Holly, so glad that you made it home safely and I am sure had a delightful time. I have always envied your sense of adventure...to heck with old age ya'll....won't be getting me down any time soon.
John and I worked most of the day on Monday blowing and sweeping leaves off the front deck. I also formed blisters on my right hand from using a popsicle stick to clean between the deck boards which were full of leaf debris and dirt. Upon awakening on Tuesday we see that much of our efforts were in vain due to the rain on Monday evening putting almost as many downed leaves back on the deck as the day before. Finally had the EE's and other Cannas and such dug up in order to dry and be put away for the winter.
On Sunday I spent most of the day addressing a tall cabinet on my deck which was turned over during the storm a while before. I left it sit while the temperatures were cool, but Sunday was a really beautiful days outdoors and I had no excuse. I found five or six broken vase types of things, but thankfully nothing important or sentimental was damaged. Said cabinet will now be attached to side rail with some sort of hooks or something to prevent another wind gust turning it over.
Since the weekend is upon us, I want to take the opportunity to wish everyone an extra special one. I encourage you all to do some enjoyable things along with the chores you might have. See you next week folks.
