gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Cooler temperatures. Again it was overcast and felt broody and windy all day without actually raining (a tiny bit late at night, but not significant).
It's much more pleasant to sleep in moderate temperatures.
Our beautiful animals.
I just kind of puttered my way through the day, and many small but collectively significant tasks were accomplished.
I washed dishes, I did two loads of laundry, I took a garbage bag of recycling outside to store until our next trip, I took the entry rug outside and shook it, and my Sweetie swept where it was. I changed the cat litter, added water to the turtle tank (it's big, so adding water means about ten gallons), folded and put away laundry.
I did normal chores outside, and I mowed for about an hour.
My Sweetie picked up the mail on his way home.
I asked him to get some tools and such together NOW, so that when "this weekend" (when he said he could start working on the new bedroom floor again) rolled around, he knew where they were. I'm sure it will still take him over and hour before he's ready to work.
Then he put the handles on the cupboard doors in the mudroom.
We watched an episode of "Justified" (with just sound from the monitor, not the speakers, but it was okay).
We spent some time talking about things we could still accomplish this summer with regards to sheds etc if we are organized and...ahem...motivated.
