| Our yard just minutes ago! It smells lovely, too. |
Weather: Lovely, possibly too warm!
The project: Several years ago, Don and I moved a bunch of stuff in boxes to our garage because we were having new carpet laid upstairs and just needed to get things out of way for a short while. Well, that was almost four years ago and some of the boxes were still in the garage. Because of these boxes, and the other junk that has accumulated around them, meant I haven't been able to park my car inside the garage for years. This week we got a good start on taking care of this problem. We made one trip to the dump with a big load, two trips to Goodwill, another trip to the recycling center with all the crushed down cardboard. We opened up all the latex paint cans, added kitty litter to them. Once the paint dries we can toss them in the weekly trash can for pick up. We moved boxes of dolls and photo albums into the house and put them away. We found space for other boxes on the shelves in garage. Why didn't we do that before? All that's left is the three huge photo tubs we inherited from Don's parents. Goal, finished by the end of this month. The end is near. I'm feeling good!
Reading, reading, reading: I can report the reading malaise has passed. Now if I could only make myself write those reviews! I am a good six or seven behind. Sigh. It always seems like it is one thing or the other-- reading or blogging -- but not both.
I am listening to: Eddie Dalton on Spotify. I love this guy's voice. Have a listen here.
We've been watching on Netflix: After finishing the most recent season of Call the Midwife on Peacock, we found Mindhunter, starring Tony-Award winner Jonathan Groff. It is about the FBI and how they started to try and understand the mind of serial killers. Set in the 1970s. It has been out for a while but we like it. In case you want to be reminded who Jonathan Groff is, here he is as King George (my favorite):
Let's see, here are the books I read in April ---
What I've blogged about the past two weeks ---
Currently reading: Moby Dick -- I'm nearly done, so close I can imagine finishing it; What We Can Know by Ian McEwan. I finished three books today, but I'll talk about them next week!
Good news? Let's hope this works long term:
