Suddenly, Home Repair

I had nice plans for yesterday after tennis league–the usual weekend yardwork, and then sitting on the deck in the 70-degree weather while getting some work done.

Instead, when I was about half done picking chard, J hit a snag with his minor painting job, and I ended up on a 45-minute trip to Home Depot for wood filler. And then I had to use the wood filler before it got too dark to see. And of course, when I was putting things away afterwards, I found an unopened tub of wood filler in the garage cabinet. So that was a wasted trip.

On the other hand, we’ve now had some practice removing the glass and screen from our new windows. Since the bit we were painting was above the window, we leaned the ladder through the opening. Worked pretty well. And we had a late dinner, so I did get to sit on the deck before it got too dark. (Also: roasted baby artichokes. Yum.)

This morning I skipped swimming to sand, but painting will have to wait for a few days, since it’s storming now.
