Weekend therapy

We capitalized on the good weather and stained the deck this weekend. It took about 6+ hours collectively and we're still not done. We still have the outer railings to stain but this requires the ladder. I felt the 'karate kid' up-down-up-down kinda painting exercise. It's therapeutic sitting out there and just paint. Additionally, I planted more plants this weekend. Note to self, do not take / buy more plants than you can or have place to plant. Fall cleanup of the garden is also complete. I'm tired of battling all the diseases the insects brought with them while camping out at our yard. Take that....(for next year)
