It was a lazy day, and we didn’t get up until 8:00 am, at which time I marched into the kitchen to prepare coffee! With the coffee made, I returned to the office where Mary was busy pounding on the computer keyboard as if it were a bongo drum.
I worked on yesterday’s Daily Diary before paying some bills!
While heading to the yard, Mary pulled a muscle in her back, so we decided that Mary ought to rest! While she rested, I headed outside to do some of the planned gardening chores.
My first chore was to fix the drip system on the patio; four sprinklers were not working. I dug into the group, and sure enough, a rose bush had wrapped its roots around the tubing, cutting off the supply. With my trusty drip system repair kit in hand, I replaced the sprinkler heads and associated tubing. After a short test, the planter boxes were flooded with H2O. We had success.
It’s easy when you have the proper tools!
We decided it was too hot to work outside, so Mary suggested I bring some of the old storage boxes from the SheShed so she could go through them. There are about twenty boxes of things that Mary wants to go through so we can use the SheShed for perhaps a small Tea House.
A “tea house” can refer to several things, including a private structure for Japanese tea ceremonies, a space for social gatherings and activism, or a venue for enjoying tea alongside food and entertainment. The term can also refer to a tea shop that sells tea or a place that serves high tea or afternoon tea.
I would cover the walls with drywall and insulate them to improve sound and temperature control. We already have electricity, and there is running water within five feet of the shed. Most people are shocked when they discover how poorly I perform as an electrician.
Mary and I had artichokes for dinner, and just before that, we called Colleen. She was at a water park with Mark and several nephews and grandkids. The weather on the East Coast was warm, making it an enjoyable day. Joe was in Boston at a conference, and Collen is keeping Charlie and Alex busy!
Mary worked on her boxes until almost 10:30 pm, at which time we crashed.
I decided to read for a while. I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down.
