It's been a little while

Hi there.
I didn't forget you.
I got busy with a work trip to Vegas, and a trip out to the Hudson Valley to help with volunteer day at Eastfield Village and a visit to Ian.
Don't worry. I have lots of things planned, and the parts slowly starting to assemble.
I have cement patch for the basement floor.
I have sacks of fancy lime mortar for re-pointing the chimney.
I have fiberglass tape and joint compound for fixing cracks in the upstairs bedroom walls prior to paint.

There's a sale at Koopman's on Ben Moore paint next week. I might have to make some decisions. ($10 off a gallon for the first 5 gallons!)

I've been fighting the malaise of the weather and the dragging crud of allergies.
I've been wary of working outside because that only invites itching.
But this Saturday, I'm renting a truck, putting on my Tyvec suit, and getting rid of the piles of brush I've created. I can't afford the hundreds of dollars the landscapers wanted to do it, so I'll be as careful as possible.

Surprise Jack-in-the-Pulpit out by one of the brush piles.
