trystinnDerek and Noah have done a great job today. Its exhausting just looking at all the work they've done! Granted, I shouldn't be wandering about the rugged backyard with my ankle bandaged up in an Ace bandage, but sometimes I just need to see what's going on and see how the two guys are getting along.
Derek, our new landscaper, has managed to bring order to the front of the house - he's clipped the street side of the front border, the house side, trimmed most of the trees and bushes and is now finishing up with the larger weeds. He also, Gods bless him, tidied up in my herb garden - so there's room for more plants! He's coming back on Sunday to do some fine tweaking, salt the spiral walk and possibly plant some Hostas and ferns. All the while, Scarlett kept a very close eye on him. He's been exposing all sorts of bugs for her delicate palette, so she's not letting him out of her sight!
Noah has cleaned out both coops, washed and refilled the waterers. Gracie had a marvelous time showing up her beautiful new buzz cut to her favorite fetch buddy. Next weekend, I'm hoping Jim and he can finish fencing the East Wing of Bunhalla so we can round up the ducks and get them separated by breed. Mixed breed ducklings aren't in as much demand, though its generally easy to sell ducklings around here. Noah took 4 ducklings for his sister, then ended up bringing them back because when he got there the setup wasn't setup. *eye roll* So the four are back!
Tomorrow, the carpenter has promised to come and figure out the back porch gates. The painter will be arriving to paint the living room/dining room wall. *cross fingers* This basically requires me to stay close to home, likely best for my twisted ankle anyway, which means I'll be catching up with the DVR contents. *sigh*
I've been especially photosensitive lately, had been completely confuddled why. Turns out all the Alleve I've been taking for my ankle, knee, etc. has photo-sensitivity as a side effect. FML, really. Because my options are so limited for OTC painkillers. Not that there's much sunlight out there, but whatever manages to fight its way through the clouds always finds me!
