He and I, mostly him of course, moved furniture from the bedroom to the &#8220;office&#8221;.  He removed the weird 3-light pole lamp from the bedroom and filled in the hole in the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He hauled the rocks from the sewer line project to the new garden and cement from the ugly bird feeder to his truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron tightened the hose fitting by the driveway spigot.  He found the old nozzle; two new ones arrived today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I booked an appointment for the truck at KM Toyota this Friday.  Grateful for Norm&#8217;s help last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brought the gone-by hanger pansies to the compost drop-off.  Picked up lunch at the senior center.  Bought a couple of hose adapters at Aubuchon, neither is what we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by James, spent a couple of hours on &#8220;quality of life&#8221; chores myself, including getting rid of the annoying tape residue from two living room window sills and stowing pillows, a blanket and a king spread in the second bedroom closet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deluge yesterday, cloudy right now but more is expected later and tomorrow for the Fourth.Ron picked up a gorgeous little peach rose and a gerbera.
