Today started out to be a quiet day, and then I decided to wash the outside of the house and the windows. But before I could do that I had to hook up the garden hose. Yikes. I would like to know who designed these things. It took me several minutes with Alvin howling on the other side of the fence, and me getting soaked. Finally I grabbed a wrench and gave it a couple of good turns and it tightened, and did not leak. LOL
I did manage to give the house and the windows a good spray down. So that was good. I left Alvin in the house because I figured one of us getting soaked was enough. Oh, the sprayer leaked, too. Is this something that happens every spring, OMG I sure hope not. Drove me nuts. I kept saying to myself, thank you for this sunny warm day ……..
At the end of it all, I brought out all of the deck furniture and got it set up. Even “planted” some flowers. This is funny. I am a FAN of the Shopping Channel and last summer for some reason, I bought several gadgets and gismos. One thing I got was this roll of seeds that is supposed to grow into this beautiful English Garden. So last summer I put some fresh dirt in a planter and cut a strip of this roll of seeds and planted them. Kept them watered all summer. I even read the directions. LOL. Well, by the end of the season a few flowers had come up and were even pretty but they were sparse. Not even close to what they showed on television. So as I still had a good roll of these flowers left, I decided what the hey, plant them. So I did. I will let you know if they actually grow. By the way, Alvin figured that I was giving him a big watering bowl. He was in there like a dirty shirt! So I will have to keep an eye on him. Should be fun when I start planting flowers. I will say that he followed me around the yard and deck like a shadow.
So that was my day – dusting off winter – getting ready for summer. Oops I forgot that I cleaned the propane barbecue as well. Or at least as well as I could. I think that I need a power washer. That would do the trick. Perhaps, a trip to Canadian Tire would be in store………
I sure wished that Alvin was more handy !!
The little guy is tired and laying down in the hallway (where there is a bit of carpet). So I guess all the going in and out of the house and garage played him out. Well, it was fun.
I think that I need to clean out my closets and the basement but not today! Still trying to get all the dirt and grease off my hands.
Ah, I love this time of year !!!
