I actually did all my front porch steps on Saturday and I am so glad I did! Sunday was just crazy! Nothing would have gotten done if I waited! As mentioned, I also did the insides of all bedroom windows and made a really good start on two small windows and two large in the dining room area of our great room. The windows are SUCH a big job I'm trying to get ahead!
Did cleanup on the deck as well, emptied some pots of flowers that were done, trimmed up all the cucumber plants of the dead, yellowed parts of the vines. Pulled base/roots of tomato plants out of the other 3 planters and planted new mum plants in their place. Marigolds are still blooming great around the edges of the pots.
Took patio umbrella stand off the porch and put in car to donate. Swept the deck, tidied up a few misc. things as well.
I'm TIRED! lol
