I Cleaned the Front Porch!

I was outside working by 6:30 a.m. this morning. The first thing that I did was start the burn pile going in the gully. Boy, did I regret that later on. I have asthma and by late morning I couldn't catch my breath. I had to use the nebulizer and the inhaler.

Before the lack of oxygen to my lungs hit, I was able to get the front porch cleaned off. Somehow it accumulates all sorts of junk up there. We're far enough back from the road that people driving by can't see anything, but when folks come to visit it's an embarrassment. So today I took everything off of the porch, swept well, threw out a bunch of junk, brought the Adirondack chairs up, and finished planting impatiens in all of the planters so that it looked nice.

Hey, look, I was able to download a picture! Cool!!!

I didn't do too much after the asthma attack today. I did, however, take care of the world's best little baby boy. Gabriel is SUCH an angel. He made new noises today, kind of like a motor boat. Since his teeth are trying to come in, he is a real slobber box. Poor kid!

Tomorrow Brandon, Jessie, and Bryan are coming over for a nice lunch. They are bringing steaks to put on the fire pit. I'm going to ask Brandon to cook them because I want to be able to do stuff tomorrow and not be connected to my inhaler or nebulizer. I plan on making a homemade chocolate cake for dessert, potatoes, corn, and a salad. In the early morning I'll start a loaf of bread in the bread machine. I look forward to visiting with the kids.
