October 3rd was one of those amazing Saturdays in Fall when everything was just perfect. It was a beautiful sunny day with the temp in the high 70’s and a great day to be lazy and enjoy the weather, relax on the deck or maybe even take a nap. Wait…. what the !#$&?? Apparently Mom didn’t get the memo because we had a few things to do before any of that relaxing could start. First up the deck needed to power washed. We, of course, needed to do this so we could then move the table to the other end of the deck and build the portable greenhouse for the jungle, aka the hibiscus, to survive the winter months. It was definitely not part of the original plan, but since the power washer was already out and the new surface cleaner Dad bought was working so well, we decided to go ahead and power wash the sidewalk and the driveway too. After that the yard still needed to be mowed, the Halloween decorations put up and Sam still wanted to put up his new computer mount and extra monitor. Hmmm…. just a walk in the park that lasted until about 7pm that night. Hopefully there will another perfect Saturday in the forecast over the next few weeks.
