This may be one of our best vacations yet. Another beautiful and cool morning. Perfect for planting and mulching fall tomatoes/peppers. I got that all done before 10 am. Hard to believe that we need to think about fall now (see the end of this post for gratuitous garden photos).
It was a day of getting stuff done:
-bar fridge/cabinet final leveling and stocking
-adding another board to tv cabinet feature wall
-patio clean up
-garage clean up
-habitat restore to donate some stuff
-post office to mail three packages
Don’t worry: we took a break. We had a taste of Italy for lunch. Jimmy’s Food Store is an Italian market downtown and we picked up some sausage, pizza dough, and lunch — they have great sandwiches. It was a fun (and delicious) break.
It was a little hotter than yesterday so I’m glad we got the outdoor stuff done early.
But right when we were thinking that we were done for the day, around 4:30 we got a call from Lowes and found out a blind we ordered was in (early by 5 days) so we went to pick it up:
We got it installed in about 5 minutes, no joke. It’s already made a big difference–our neighbors’ annoying 24-7 security light has finally been blocked!
And so we called it a day. Big painting fun tomorrow!
Here’s a collection of photos from today (I am having posting issues since we don’t have wifi until the office is reassembled so unfortunately I couldn’t weave them throughout the post as I planned):
Until tomorrow!
You have one SERIOUS garden! So glad you are enjoying your stay-cation. The Gs are going to be mighty pissed when you both go back to work.

The poor Gs are exhausted! They will be glad for us to return to work since they’re not getting their usual nap time in!

So now I have this vision of the three of them pushing you and Bruce out the door and then flopping into bed 🙂

Lol. This is our first major stay-cation and it’s been so fun and satisfying and relaxing that maybe we’ll do it again. Thanks for reading!
