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.
Wow! That's a lot of things accomplished. This heat and humidity is making me crazy. Hope to see (meet!!) you next Saturday at the New Jersey festival!
ReplyDeleteOh Now I want a clothesline. Perhaps on my porch??
ReplyDeleteI think everyone's life is better with a clothesline, wherever you can fit it in! :-)
DeleteI envy your clothesline! Here in Northern Virginia, where I live - we are not allowed to have them....

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteSo I would say working in that humidity earns you an ice cold beer. The desk is beautiful.
ReplyDeletePruned 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
ReplyDeleteHooray for outside clotheslines - they should be a compulsory thing I think everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have a difficult time living without one!
DeleteNothing like clothes (and sheets!) dried outside on a clothesline. You definitely earned two beers for mowing the lawn in that heat and humidity!
ReplyDeleteOoo! Nice new clothes line! But, mowing... oy. In that heat! I hope you enjoyed an ice cold beer or two!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than having a clothesline!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I hope you rewarded yourself with a good, cold brew (or two) after that!!
ReplyDeleteYou 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!)
ReplyDeleteI hope your beer was deliciously refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
