Good Friday

I had Friday off *woo hoo* which turned into a non-stop clean the house day. It started off with two very dirty dogs, digging in the mud/mulch in the back yard. I turn my back for one second and look over to the once butter colored couch and it was not only covered in mulch, but Gibson had dragged in an entire rotten potato and was sitting in the middle of the couch eating it, happy as can be. My yelling and trying to pry it out of his mouth only upset him. I got the "can't you see I'm enjoying my rotten potato snack?" look. Once I got him outside and vaccuumed up the now pigeon grey couch, I set upon all my tasks for the day. Needless to say, two of those tasks consisted of picking up dog spew from the above mentioned snack. Lesson learned? No, they were both right back out there. I can't wait until the patio is in.

So after cleaning the entire house, making the top of the table viewable again, organizing the mess in the kitchen, and making a list, I decided to remove all the door knobs on the interior doors in the house, and soak the paint off of them. 10 in all, nice shiny bronze door knobs make for a happy me. Task 2, clean up of the back yard and plant 3 boxwood dwarfs that we got at Home Depot for $5. DG did the digging and planting, I cleaned up the entire backyard of wood and nails left over from the fence. I am itching to start planting but I have a couple more weeks until the garden stores have good stuff.
