took Friday off (5 Year Anniversary)…3 day weekend! Jen and I went to ‘The Container Store’ in King of Prussia on our way to Peddler’s Village and New Hope.  It was a rainy and a little cold, but it was really nice not having to deal with the crazy crowds.  Nothing like being in one of those stores when it’s a humid 110* day with 50 other people that want to look at exactly what you want to look at…claustrophobia much??

Saturday, got rid of the fucking monkey balls!  I was told to use a snow shovel, and that made a hell of a difference!!  probably 15-20 wheelbarrows full, so much easier… Thanks Ronnie!

all the pine needles from the back yard are gone, now I just need to finish up behind the shed (that’s where I dumped them from the back yard last fall)

fixed the sump pump drain pipe…it was really just reconnecting the pipes that move the water to the end of the yard…the puddle in the middle of the yard was making a hole under the fence

cleaned off the front porch (this wasn’t a big job, but made a hell of a difference)

Sunday, in the chiminea, burnt all the pine from the basement wainscoting that I cut down to manageable size pieces  <– tough job, sitting by a fire on a nice day (with a chill in the air)

Tomorrow, meeting with Scott in the morning…what to do about the front porch, bay window
