Sometimes Monday ...

... is a day of Labor in Maryland.

We've refinished a desk,


finished the pad so the new shed can be delivered tomorrow,


and best of all, John built clothesline poles for me and cemented them in. I can't wait to hang laundry out when the cement is dried and set. 


I mowed the lawn while he was working on the clothesline, and at 93 degrees and 73% humidity, that definitely felt like labor. Here's hoping your Labor Day is relaxing and enjoyable.

    1. I think everyone's life is better with a clothesline, wherever you can fit it in! :-)

  3. I envy your clothesline! Here in Northern Virginia, where I live - we are not allowed to have them....

  4. That's a lot of work! I hope you are coming to the end of all the heavy work one has to do for a new house, but alas, alack, lawn mowing will not go away until it gets much cooler. Enjoy the rest of your LD, rest, relax, and have a beer!

  5. I think the best part about Labor is the Rest that follows ... hope you've found some of that. (and I am also a bit jealous of the clothesline ... we don't have them here, either.0

  6. So I would say working in that humidity earns you an ice cold beer. The desk is beautiful.

  7. Pruned plants, weeded the front garden bed, hung valances --- which wasn't too bad because at least THAT job was in the a/c. Tried to clean the fireplace and found that the shopvac blows the dust/grit/ashes right out the back end. Dusted the living room .........vacuumed up the mess and vowed to never use the fireplace. LOL

  9. Nothing like clothes (and sheets!) dried outside on a clothesline. You definitely earned two beers for mowing the lawn in that heat and humidity!

  12. Oh man, I hope you rewarded yourself with a good, cold brew (or two) after that!!

  13. You definitely deserve a break and a beer after that mowing!!! Love your desk -- and your new clothesline! (They are not allowed in my neighborhood . . . can you believe that??? Like . . . it's listed right in the "thou shalt not" section of the rules!)

  14. I hope your beer was deliciously refreshing!

  15. I've often wondered if I talk my condo into a communal clothes line if anyone would use it or if I would never find an empty spot to hang my own clothes. Hope you found time to enjoy some Holiday downtime!
