The end of a great few days of perfect rain.

Some progress (week 3 start) in the garden and with the rain and now sunshine looking for big time growth
Wow we received another super rain yesterday with a perfect .85" soaking into the garden and lawn.  Need to do some week kill this morning in the lawn as for some reason the weeks thrive with rain and sun!
After yesterday I am wondering about our decision to get the upstairs floors done!  Well not really but getting EVERYTHING out of 4 rooms plus a closet is one thing and then finding a place to put things and still live in the house is another thing.  When it is done the floors will be great but doing doing is getting a little old and a little tired if I must say.  Oh and then to think that is only the first of several projects this summer--👷me perhaps!!!
Much to do this morning.  Weed kill, junk goes into the pickup, things go out onto the curb (👎with Craig's list as 90% are scammers), books get put into little libraries around the neighborhood, wood project to work on and that is just a start to the list!
Terry and I decided that the fan in the living room needs to be replaced as one of the glass bulb hoods broke and some of the metal is twisted.  So we thought it is time to also put a fan in the other end of the room where there is a light fixture now.  I went to Menards and brought home a fan to see if Terry liked it.  I put the fan and receipt back into the trunk of the car.  That was a few days ago.  Yesterday we stopped at Menards and picked up two matching fans, or so I thought.  I told the check out guy they were the same and as I said that I thought I wonder if people try to cheat by saying that but really the bottom item is different and more expensive.  We got home and I brought them into the house only to have Terry note, "They are different!"  Back to Menard's to return the one from days ago and to get the right one from yesterday.  I got into the store and NO receipt.  We got that straighten out and I went up the stairs to get the right fan.  As I got back to the car with the right fan the clerk came running out and said he had not given me credit for the week old fan so into the store again to do that.  As I arrived back to the car and opened the door the receipt feel onto the ground.  So in the end we have 2 fans, the same, but it took hours and trips to accomplish it!!! Oh, now I need to install them BUT no fear as my installation on the toilet was perfect so I expect the fan installation to be the same.  I will turn off the power first of course.
No there is much to do and I really NEED to get on the bike as well.
First day 7, "Every picture has a story".
It is time for this platform bed to go.  I made it many years ago.  It has 4 large cedar lined drawers but it is just to big for the room I think.  The story is we put a sleep number mattress on it.  I THINK I. must have done something wrong as about a week later I woke and I was sleeping on wood as ALL the air had leaked out.  AND oh the sharp corners have caused blood on more than one occasion.  I did dull them a bit but it still was a danger for all.  I really should have put some kind of bumper material on them, kind of like they put on the corners of a boxing ring, NO!!!
