Excellent Sunday

You know those kinds of days where you don’t really have anything planned, but you get so many little things done, that you are just pleased with yourself? Well, it’s been one of those days for us today.

Got up just before daylight, fed the cat, had coffee & did a load of laundry all before 8:00a!

Then husband decided we would finish the whiskey barrel planters. Got the rest of the screws in them, finished touching up the bands w/black paint & then polyurethaned(sp?) them. Among other things, got compost bins turned, yard sign put up and ceiling fan & light put up.

Since the barrels were (temporarily) out of the garage, husband decided to straighten it up. He also got his truck straightened up as well. He carries a lot of things in his truck & it kind of gets piled up.

We acquired some really nice wire shelves recently. They are remodeling our offices & removing some PC server rooms & didn’t need the shelving anymore. They were going to throw them away! I took them off their hands & we put one set to good use today.

Also, the weather could not have been more perfect. Comfortable temperatures - upper 70s, light wind, low humidity. As it got warmer it became a bit overcast so it was still very nice. It was very pleasant sitting on the driveway, paint brush in hand, listening to an old country music station - Waylon, Willie, Clint Black, George Strait, etc. Not one Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift song all day.

I like to paint (not so much the prep though). I think it’s very therapeutic. So, I got my dose of therapy today. So much so, that I took Sandy’s cue from over at http://oklahomatransient.blogspot.com/ & came inside & took an hour long nap! Woke up to cooler temperatures & a light rain shower.

Beef roast is in the crock pot. (Boy did that smell good, coming & going throughout the day!) Going to smash some red potatoes & have a salad w/lettuce, tomatoes & cucumbers from the garden to go with it. May even open a bottle of red wine to wind down the day.

Overall, can’t complain. It was an excellent Sunday. Yep, they are back in the garage.
