Fog rising on the front pasture, Thursday morning
On Wednesday I got the post up and when I pulled the shades just after 6AM it was raining. It rained off and on all day. I got started on the estate stuff and then got ready to go to exercise class.
When I got home I sat and rested and ate lunch for an hour then worked on the estate stuff until mid afternoon.
Then I watched Gilmore Girls until bedtime.
Fog rising on the middle pasture
On Thursday morning, I had no post to write so I got the kitchen cleaned up and started on the estate stuff. My helper wouldn’t be here until noon but I had PT at 11AM. So I had to stop at 10AM.
I had reached the point of the attic inventory but I was going to have to go up there and make an inventory, now everything is up there. So I got ready to go to PT and when I got home my helper was there.
Small garden, snow nearly gone
It was chaos when I got home. The phone rang 5X in about 15 minutes, I was trying to get changed, I had to find a receipt for someone who called, and I had to get my helper started. Plus we were supposed to be finishing cleaning the living room.
I never found the receipt as the woodman called and said I’d not ordered a log load last year. Sigh… I finally got organized, got my helper friend started in the living room and I started removing things from there to be cleaned.
It didn’t take long to have the kitchen full of things needing cleaned/washed.
Big garden, still snow covered
We soon had the living room completely trashed as he worked his way down the west wall. He kept vacuuming, dusting and polishing furniture while I washed things up and followed behind him putting clean things back in place.
We moved onto the things in the middle of the room, rolling up the rug, and moving the couch out of the way to vacuum it and under it.
New Herb garden, still mostly snow
By 3PM we had mostly finished. The floor still needs washed and I was waiting for the couch cover to finish drying. But everything had been cleaned.
I was beyond exhausted and went to sit down. I asked my helper friend to do an errand and then make me chicken meatballs for supper.
He left at 5PM and I ate some supper and then just was a vegetable watching Gilmore Girls until bedtime.
It sure is nice to come into rooms and not see dirt and cobwebs. Everything is so clean and shiny! And it smells nice too.
On Friday the cold is back with wind but it will be sunny. I’m hoping to get the attic inventoried with my helper friend. I also need to clean up the kitchen and get the couch cover on the couch. That takes a while.
We have a few other chores to do, and need to start the beef corning for corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. As Friday is the 7th, I’m cutting it pretty close.
I might get back to the inventory, or maybe I’ll need to rest. We’ll see…
