It is going to be a lovely day here today. Temps are to be in the 40's which while very much anticipated, will turn our yard into a mud bog. The three dogs used the pathways we shoveled to the garage and such as personal potty area's most of the winter due to the deep snows.
They are now banned from entering the house through the patio doors due to it being carpeted.
Last year (talk about unfinished projects....) we were given all the patio blocks and paving stones from a friend who was redesigning his backyard. Oh and a truckload of red brick that fellow had intended to use in a backyard grill project. A LOT of manual labor to get all this stuff and bring it home.
So I am considering tackling the job of putting down a bunch of the nice big rectangle patio blocks around the side of the house to the garage in hopes the dogs and family can avoid SOME of the mud in the effort to control how much ends up in the kitchen. Which is now where the dogs have to enter.
It would be temporary, they would have to come back out before lawnmowing begins.
I have a "Things To Do" list in front of me also, the majority of them being indoor projects. I know they are all overdue and really need my attention.
So I am trying to make a "schedule of events" so to speak. I think I will begin with the upstairs tasks, while I have the most energy and then work my way to the main floor projects until I simply can not stand to remain indoors any longer.
I think I will leave some of the most simple indoor tasks to be done later, in hopes that I will have some energy reserves come late afternoon, when I will need to come indoors anyhow.
Anyhow......this is my pondering for the midmorning!
So far I have not done a lot. Have the grandson, so made breakfast and got him fed. Picked up some of his toys in the DR, as the dogs (now with dry feet! LOL) have been begging to come out of the kitchen to lay by the patio doors in the sunshine.
I am going to run some cleaning solution through the coffee pot in a bit as it took over 30 minutes to get a pot of coffee. Yeesh hard water is tough on them.........
