Checked off the to-do list:
- Clean out rest of flower beds
- Edge flower beds
- Prune lilac and mock orange
- Clean house
- Straighten up linen closet
- Pull everything out of linen closet, since not so much as one more tiny doily will fit inside. Discover that 75 percent of what's inside doesn't belong there. Find new home for it. Decide it would be fun to wallpaper inside of linen closet and repaint it. Take before-and-after photos, knowing full well there is no light in the hallway and the photos will be awful.
- Six hours after beginning linen closet project, resolve to stop reading articles about freshening up your closets for spring.
- Tackle laundry that results from linen closet project.
- Pack up winter clothes and get out spring/summer clothes.
- Finish laundry resulting from linen closet project; tackle laundry that results from seasonal wardrobe switchover project.
- Ten loads of laundry later, resolve to wear nothing but oxford-cloth shirts and khaki pants every day, year-round.
- Paint bluebird boxes.
- Realize that the bluebird house project (the only project I really, really, really wanted to get done this weekend) cannot be finished because some very specific hardware is needed, and no one has the energy to drive to Lowe's (for what would be the third time in two days) to purchase said hardware.
- Wonder where the weekend went.
My favorite part: "resolve to stop reading articles about freshening up your closets..." I join you in your resolve.

Your daffodils are outstanding!
Go back to work today and rest up, will you?

Our weekend project was starting 4,000 miles of cedar privacy fencing. At least 100 trips to Lowes was required. LOL

Frankly,I am exhausted after reading all of that! I'm about to do something that goes against what the rest of the family wants. I am painting the porch railing white, without telling anyone I'm doing it. They always think my ideas are crazy at first, but then they come around. Wish me luck....

What a busy weekend! Your gardens are way ahead of mine - and I'm jealous of your 'junk pile'!

You make me feel like a big fat slug!

You poor little thing. Hope you and the bluebirds get happier soon!

Yikes, I'm exhausted just reading about your weekend. My bluebird houses aren't near as pretty as yours, but I am excited as there are eggs in them. Your flowers are lovely.
