was windy and rainy all day long… didn’t help much with energizing me to get stuff done…

spent a good part of the day in front of the TV, reading and packing a few more things into the suitcase…

went out to the garage and potted up the new planter I bought… it was raining a bit at the time, so I didn’t want to work on it in the front yard… then after it was filled with rocks and soil and plants, I managed to move it slowly to the front and got right to the steps but couldn’t find a way to get it up where I wanted it…

so it is sitting at the bottom of the steps waiting for my son-in-law to come by tomorrow and move it up…

while I was out there I checked the side of the house, because since yesterday afternoon I’ve been hearing noises from outside the bedroom… the first time I heard them I thought something had got into the attic… but as the evening went on I realized that it was likely loose siding… and it was…

then I got a couple of pictures of another new bird visitor I spotted a few days ago… it was so windy that it fell of the top of the bench while I was taking its picture with the new iPhone camera+ app…

looking forward to a busy couple of days before leaving…
