We were up around 6:30 and still exhausted and sore from the weekend of damp weather. Coffee helped warm us up and yes – it was STILL raining. Carlo saw a mouse on the eave of the front porch and covered the opening.

Hopefully the mouse gets the idea that the entrance is closed!

We had leftovers for breakfast after spending way too much time looking for Pita bread. I guess the Pita and the Brats were at home. I can’t remember everything!!! We stripped all the beds and Carlo went off to the Laundromat – there were so many sacks, I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever see him again! I made the beds with other bedding, waiting for the fresh blankets to arrive.
 

I laid out the tile formation for the corner – where one day, the new wood stove will be situated. Hopefully my tile cutting skills will not suck when tile cutting time comes along.

I also put together the crappiest ever boot rack – which the attached labels advise to not exceed 3 pounds – I guess we’ll use this rack for our invisible boots!

Carlo got back around noon and brought a little sunshine with him. We ate more of the leftovers for lunch and then I finished making the beds with the awesome smelling, freshly washed blankets. ''


We returned the borrowed wood splitter and visited with Betty for a bit. When we got back we cleaned up the outside, added a huge pumpkin and more bird seed to the rock garden and added an additional tarp to the wood crib. Our much used brand new fire pit may not see another flame for quite sometime, but I am glad we were able to get some use out of it so soon! We were way too tired to go out for dinner and even too tired to eat.
