obligatory post

It’s been a few days since I posted, so I thought I’d catch y’all up on things. Note: I’m allowed to say y’all because I was born in Maryland, which is technically in the south.

We worked on the playhouse Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We’re where I hoped we would be at this point. It’s just too early to tell if that’s good enough progress. I would much rather be ahead of schedule, but it sure beats being behind. I have another milestone in mind for the weekend, so we’ll have to see if we hit that. This weather is surely going to screw things up. There is a lot of painting/staining that needs to be done–some of it starting this weekend. There are some things I can paint ahead of time, but other things have to wait until they’re attached. And it’s going to be too cold in the near future to be painting anything outside.

And speaking of the weather, it’s also putting a crimp in my gardening plans. I was supposed to put some cool-weather plants in this weekend, but seeing that it might snow, I’m going to have to hold off for a bit. I’m a teensy bit behind on some other garden stuff as well, but it’s because the playhouse is taking up most of my free time.

Brian is anxiously awaiting the call from Zepka’s saying that his bike is ready. Hopefully they will call today so that he can get the bike tomorrow morning. Again with the weather–it’s supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon and that’s not good weather for riding. He has tomorrow off so that he can tool around the streets and learn how to operate the new bike. Let’s just hope he gets the opportunity.
