Monday:
you
can get up if you want but I'm staying in bed
*
Plant the peas
√ *
Vacuum the rest of the house – I even beat the two small oriental
rugs (cough cough) and then I ordered a robot vacuum cleaner
*
Mop the floor in my studio and kitchen
√ *
Rake the Little Backyard - oof
yes,
I know it doesn't look like I raked but you did see the 'before'
picture, right?
*
Clean off the work table in the garage
*
Wash the car (now that all the windows are clean)
Stuff
I did that wasn't on the list:
Morning
yoga routine - yay, 2 days in a row!
Washed
3 days worth of dishes
Used
the 4 long S hooks (previous estate sale find) to temporarily hang
the 4 bird houses (also estate sale finds) I have accumulated (I had 5 but I used one for the
present exchange at the garden club christmas party last week after I
spiffed it up a bit), probably not where they will stay but at least
they aren't on the work table in the garage anymore
two
of the four
Went
and picked up the gift for my sister that I had to order because I waited too long and they were sold out that finally
arrived!
Walked
the dog – the short walk today, very quiet in the neighborhood
Sat
my butt on the couch and settled in for the evening
Tuesday:
A
quiet overcast day with no expectations, stuff nothing to do, or
places to be. It's a good thing too because the body is groaning.
Merry
Christmas to all who celebrate.
You are an inspiration Ellen. Like you I have bird houses everywhere and would you believe, the sparrows are already messing around inside them. They drop old feathers and stuff out of them. Couldn't be getting ready for spring? I would like to think so cause so am I. Donna@gather
ReplyDeleteYes, you are an inspiration. Know that you are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAfter today I can focus - all will be done and over with. Yes. take it easy, but taking it easy like you do is for me, requires a whole other level of energy. Happy winter!
ReplyDeleteI love those birdhouses. Do birds ever live in them? Dave was just talking today about getting birdhouses for our garden, but I feel like our birds mostly handle their own housing!
ReplyDeleteI've had wrens and sparrows nest in them and bluebirds once. the wrens nest everywhere though.
DeleteThat was one huge pile of leaves you raked up. I'm giving you a gold star for that one. I like the bird houses, too. You're reminded me that I once thought a bird house or two might be a nice substitute for the bird feeders I can't have because of the marauding pigeons. I might give that another thought.
ReplyDeleteI definitely can see that you raked the yard. Your house looks very spiffy with its new paint job and that beautifully painted stand in the yard.
ReplyDeletethe painted stand is a Talavera birdbath. Talavera, if you don't know, is a style of Mexican ceramics.
DeleteI laughed out loud at the second item on your to-do/did list. I love the bird houses - especially the one made of license plates. This must be the year of the birdhouse, as I got one from a friend for Christmas - it's felted and I'll be damned if I'll let the birds poop in it. Glad you had a quiet holiday.
ReplyDeletewell, you had to have read the previous post to fully appreciate this one. and the robo-vac comes tomorrow!
