Good morning everyone, the espresso coffee is on and it's "Hump Day" for some. Yesterday, for our first day of stay-cation / work-cation, we got a lot done around the house. Pulled all the remaining vegetable plants up, trimmed the wild raspberry bush for the season and took the shutters of and repainted them. Today, I'm going to put some new patio furniture together and this afternoon with my buddy Joe Colombo, we're going to power wash the house. Enjoy your day all....... :-)
