I had a busy AND productive four days. Lopping saplings, washing windows, sills and baseboards. Steam cleaning rugs and then starting the bringing of plants in for winter.
Gatto and Frieda have always been deeply intrigued by the palm. I need to keep it far enough away from the piano (cat perch) so they cannot maul it. You can see a spattering of color on the maples through the clean windows. Well, almost clean, I still have outside to do.
We have been surviving on leftovers the past few days. I'm done-in by the end of the day, making dinner just hadn't been on the agenda. Last evening I had no choice, all leftover food had been consumed. So, a boneless chicken breast with a bit of pasta and the usual suspects. Also a bushel of spinach to end up with a tablespoon.
As a believer in acknowledging accomplishments, I toasted myself at the end of the day with a glass of zero alcohol Sauvignon blanc.

You have been busy! I brought in a couple plants this weekend too....Boston ferns. Love the top photo with the fern and the cat. Classic!
You have been busy! Nice to cross things off the list!
Oh, I have a list with items that need crossed off! You did deserve a reward.
Gatto is a perfect poser! Or is that poseur?
It really is. I'm surprised I stayed motivated that long.
I thought so! After several years of neglect my list is long, but I'm going to look at the accomplishments and not the things remaining.
You did a lot. And yes on the spinach cooking down to nearly nothing.
Amazing, isn't it.
I've been pulling out bedding plants and burning diseased wood. That is a beautiful crystal glass. Perhaps I should be drinking my water out of mine. I know how much I enjoy using my good wedding silver as everyday cutlery:)
Productive days are so good, when I have them I feel good
Yes, the kitties are intrigued.
Yes, celebrate our accomplishments and don't feel dragged down by all that remains to be done.
Right now I have a daily list of things to get done one at a time.
Sounds like you are clipping along nicely on getting 'er done!
Wow! Congrats on getting all that done and plugging away at it for days! Whoohoo! You deserved a toast at the end of the day. :)
You should, Pixie. I've been trying to use these things, what's the point if we don't use it?
It does make a person feel good, Jo-Anne.
Of, yes. They really want to pull it to the floor.
I'm trying to adopt your attitude, Cheerful!
Trying, Val. Trying.
I only wish it could be "real" wine Rita. Dang medication!
That is sure a beautiful blue vase.
Thank you, Dora. I got 2 mid-century vases from my mother's house after she died. I always liked them.
