The rain coordinated with the usual days that the guys play golf, so there hasn't been much time out on the course for Golfer. He is all layered up and playing today though. The coming week is supposed to get into the high 70's and we're both looking forward to that.
The yard work is under control for right now. Although Golfer is starting to think about how he's going to have to mow the grass and rake soon. The porch pansies are doing well and I enjoy seeing them from the dining room window.
When it gets warmer, we need to have the house and shed power-washed. The air must have been particularly dirty this Winter. And with the humidity and rain, we have some algae growing on the siding in some areas. Ick. Usually when it's just a small spot I just go out with the long-handled brush and the Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner and be done with it. Too big a job for that now!
I think I'm going to have to paint the mailbox and post, too. That's sore point with me. Because of ARB restrictions and guidelines, we must have a certain type of mailbox. I'm okay with that. But when we needed to get a new one, we bought exactly what they recommended. It was supposed to be a "never have to paint" white one. That was a lie. I found out that nothing cleans it either. So it will get a new coat of paint.
The furry kids have been on guard and keeping an eye on things from the windows. Here are Angus and Finnigan watching some tiny birds out front this morning. I think the birds were checking out a location for nest building in the large azalea. Cecil had already finished his breakfast and gone upstairs for his morning nap. :)
Golfer got our tax paperwork all sorted and we dropped that off with our preparer. We went and got our new recreation passes so we can get into the pools when they open in May. All the usual household chores have been done. Life is good.
Stay safe!
