Today I am grateful for:

A really pleasant day, sunny and moderately warm. Clean air from the recent rain.

A couple came to buy an antique wooden clothes rack. I'm fairly sure I brought it home from the dump a few years ago. It's in good shape, and I had planned on doing something with it, but at some point you have to admit that you aren't going to do anything with it. She is a crafter who makes crochet blankets, and goes to farmer's markets and so on to sell them. She's going to use the rack to show off her blankets. I'm actually pretty excited that this item will have a new life.

Then my husband and I completed the "circle of life" of buy and sell, and went to buy a nice leather apron for him to use in the shop when he's doing wood working.

We came home and worked more on the groundwork for the brick path. We were leveling the ground some more, and put in a layer of gravel (so far just on one part of the path) that will be under the bricks. This is a LOT fussier than I thought it was going to be.

Then we watched the 2018 "Robin Hood", which was pretty unremarkable though it had some great stunts and effects. The story was all over the place.
