No, I'm not referring to some new hip method of doing laundry. Nor is it some eco-friendly variation on that loathesome chore. I'm referring to the fact that there is a washing machine in our neighbour's back yard, and it sounds as though it is full of rocks. Maybe it's a dryer, I don't know. The bottom line is that it's NOISY! I'm dying for them to make an appearance so I can ask them what is going on.
It's 2:30 and I'm on break. I've just come in from doing some mowing and then vacuuming up the clippings. Much better effect than just sweeping. I've also hooked up the sprinkler in the front because it never fails that when I mow the grass just ceases to look as green. I'm loathe to water in the middle of the day like this, but if I want get get all of the front yard and back yard done in time to pull in the intstuments of waste and get the lawn dried out before we Open tomorrow, I figured I'd best get started.
I stink.
We had a showing today at noon, so I had to do a lot of half-ass cleaning for that...now I have to go back and re-do some of that work. Bah. Still need to mop the floors and vacuum and just generally clean. Oh, and light a ton of candles and hook up some Plug-Ins. The inside smell comes and goes, but it is maskable if I work at it. What about what died in the back yard?? That's another story. I swear it smells like sewage out there. The dogs were a bit nutty the other day, sniffing at the boards on the deck--I suspect that a mouse or toad or other smallish critter has crawled under there and died. Great. What timing.
My pesto's done...I'm off to eat.
