Trying to brighten up

 We had some showers overnight and the skies are still grey, but it appears to be getting a bit brighter as the morning progresses.  Still cool and we have quite a strong breeze, hopefully to chase those clouds away.

Laundry on, only a couple of loads, we don't make many clothes dirty these days, but there is always the daily used items that need to be cleaned.  On a day like today, glad we have the dryer and do not have to rely on a clothes line. however, having said that, I do like the smell of clothes that have been blowing on the line.  Some communities here do not allow clothes lines to be put up in peoples back gardens.  Shame really.

Do you use a clothes dryer or a line outside?

Hubby helped his daughter yesterday, she had a tree trimmer come and cut down a large branch on one of her trees and then they loaded up the trailer to take everything to the recycle depot.   She stayed for dinner, she lives a lone so is allowed to be with one other family, so we were OK as far as the required socializing.  Her coming to dinner was a last minute happening, so two pieces of salmon fed three of us, along with some stuffed mushroom, tomato, cucumber, cheese,  pickles and broccoli, and lemon cake from the freezer we had a good dinner. 

Some house work needs to be done today, mainly a good top to bottom for the bathrooms, they get a once over every day, but a weekly "good" clean.  Kitchen floor was done yesterday, and vacumming and dusting earlier in the week.  I do not have one day in which I do all the housework, I find by doing a little every day  is easier for me and some days none gets done.  

The tree in the front of our house is a huge and beautiful Copper Beach, but it is very messy.  At the present time the outer cover of the leaf is now falling away as the leaves are opening up. These coverings are everywhere and in wet weather they stick to your shoes and track in, even if shoes are removed at the door.  In the Fall the tree produces nuts and they fall everywhere. No meat is ever in these nuts, we pick up bags and bags of them every year.

Dinner tonight, not sure, pork chops, applesauce brussels, salad and rice pudding sounds good to me.

Have a wonderful weekend.
