We’re looking forward to a socially-distanced visit with friends this weekend. We’ve done almost no visiting and are glad for nice weather to gather outside.
Have a good weekend.
For the last two weekends, Tom and I have been clearing small trees and trimming overgrown shrubs on our property and we’ve made a lot of progress. It is so great to have an outdoor project to focus on and we are enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comes with the work. We each have a small patch of poison ivy on our arms. Alas, this also comes with the work.
