It never fails to amaze me how quickly the grass recovers after a bit of rain. We had steady rain most of the day yesterday and this morning the back doesn't look nearly as desolate. The chip pile continues to 'cook'.

Off to the park shortly and then I'll try to figure out what I'm doing this week. I expect two chores will consume most of my time: weeding and ironing. It looks like The Mister is going to be working full-time for one of his clients and going into an office again soon so I guess he'll be needing some dress shirts. I really do need to clear out all the stuff that's accumulated in my 'sewing room' anyway like the ironing and the Christmas decorations.
