Arrrgh!!!

Don't you love it when a plan comes together. I managed to get the dishes done, the clothes washed and folded, and THEN......I started working on the mail.

Mail is a major undertaking here. We get mail for five different entities. A huge amount of it is junk mail, but most of it needs to be opened, and a lot of it needs to be shredded. I organize the rest into four piles (DH and my mail goes into the same pile).

I took one stack at a time and filed or pitched almost all of the mail. You can see the top of my desk now. I wouldn't go as far to say that I was finished, but I've made tremendous headway, and it's very satisfying.

Now, I can go outside and play!

Our chipmunk population has been redesigning our gardens. I have a wave of tiny purple crocus across the garden at the foot of the sidewalk. I was sure that I planted crocus closer to the front door! There's still one gold crocus, and a white one, but these tiny purple ones are multiplying and making a pretty spring statement.

The iris seem happy with the weather. I see short leaves from all of them. I hope to do a major redesign of the sidewalk garden and I'll be sorry to move all those iris. We haven't recovered from the move of two years ago. I suppose that means that this would be the right time to make the adjustments.

I wish I could tell you that I had made good use of the 60 degree weather yesterday and today. Unfortunately, I've been chained to my desk this afternoon. I may go out for 30 minutes to rake the gravel off the front lawn. The chipmunks aren't the only ones who have been redesigning here. Dear Husband relocated the lawn in four places when he plowed the driveway this winter, so we need to roll out the lawn and reseed. Too bad I can't get the chipmunks to work with DH. ;-)
