Quite a Busy Day
We needed to set the alarm for an appointment for Dennis. He was just about to head out the door when the phone rang postponing his appointment until Thursday. I
was up and awake and when I looked up the weather forecast on my computer . . . I headed out for my walk. It was breezy from the north but I had no idea that that was mild considering what was to come for the afternoon. I couldn’t resist plugging in my electric leaf blower and help some leaves along to blow to the north. Up and away! The sun made it doable but in the shade it made me pull on my gloves.
Two plants have been on the side of the Koi pond for the last ten years. I worked with my Fleet and Farm wagon and worked them from the wooden ledge onto the wagon. Opening up the north patio door of the porch allowed me to pull the wagon within several inches of the opening and slide them onto small tables. Got that one done as I think a killing frost is coming.
I admit, I did not wash any windows this spring. April 1st road construction started in town and along with that was never-ending dust. It was the most comfortable for me to not look out of the windows at the time the sun would shine full on. Today a few windows are looking sharp. A time back Kevin gave us a cleaner called “Fresh Start.” It is an all purpose product. When I can skim my fingers on the outside of a window and feel all the hardened water spots, there is no way Windex is going to cut it. A squirt bottle of Fresh Start and a mild scrubby made short work on the bathroom windows. Followed by a wipe down of the Fresh Start, Windex did a great follow up. In time, I will continue to do windows. The plus is that the remaining windows can all be tipped in for cleaning.
Regardless how cloudy it is outside, the Northern Red Oak simply glows. It makes my heart feel good.
