After I made my post yesterday, in full intentions of painting the back porch
I, instead, decided to wash all the windows in the house
Then, of course, I decided I would weed. Just one garden room,
maybe two
By that time I needed to start lunch
Well, it was close enough anyway.
Then after lunch…I had no more excuses…I began.
In a windless hot part of the day I began. How silly of me. But by the time I had the walls started and I saw the difference my heart lifted up and I had all sorts of energy to continue.
I am so glad I finally started! The room is taking shape. Today I will do the trim and Terry is going to lay a new floor (which is needed desperately), then I will wash down the outside door.
I’m so glad I began! And my shoulder did NOT hurt at all last night! YAY!
In a couple of days, I will tackle the bathroom!

Actually not…no real farming going on PLUS all the other stuff. Just the other stuff now.

Wish I had your ambition.

You do so many other things I’ll bet our lists look the same in the end.

Put a line across the bottom of your current “to do ” list and below it put in FUN! Begin your list again below FUN. If you don’t, you will forever be trying to catch up. Forever trapped in the
minuscule of life. Big Bill the Bard (Shakespeare) had some pithy things top say on it. Will see if I can find some.
