Spent several days wor=
king around the yard. It's good to be outdoors.

We bought =
a new power washer and my wife and I have pretty much circled the house.=
Washed away a good bit of green lichens and clinging dirt. The outsid=
e view of our home looks clean and freshly scrubbed.

I'm al=
so attacking our collected pile of wood and sticks. These are branches =
that have fallen from the trees. One more day and I should have the ent=
ire pile gone, chopped into wood chips for mulch.

Finally, we a=
re trying (once again!) to grow some grass in the bare spots in the yard=
.
