This is the end of my vacation and I slept in until 9:00. This was the first day I was able to sleep in during my entire vacation…it was great! Carlo decided to stain some of the higher parts of the porch. Here he is playing the role of the King of the Stain!!! I was actually the Queen of the Stain but the servants weren't around to capture all of my hard work!

He even took a stain break to clear out the gutters which were loaded with mud and leaves and who knows what else. As for the staining, he finished up what I could not reach and I helped with the reachable pieces. Now all wood of the chestnut color should be done. Bernie is supposed to do the rest of the Milkweed, but we won’t know for sure until next Saturday.

To end our work afternoon we planted two pine tree saplings that Jackie brought us last week. Happy O’Wich Arbor Day! Thanks Jackie!


In between the start and end of our day, we did a lot of cleaning and gathered a lot of trash to take home. The rest of the trash went into the fire pit for another load of crap to burn!


By 3:30 we were done working and even prepped a couple of snacks for our guests, Steve and Kathy, who were coming for a visit and a game of Apples to Apples! Their visit lasted until after 10:00 and we had a lot of fun!!!
