Today is the first day of our school holidays, but already my husband can't wait for us to go back to school. So far today, I have had him mowing the lawns, mulching the strawberries, vacuuming and blowing the back area of our home, hanging up curtains that I have washed - lucky that he's tall, isn't it? He has also been watering the lawns and plastering the walls of the house.
Why all the cleaning up?
Well, where we live, this is the time of year for brown snakes, and if the lawns aren't kept mowed, you can't see if there is anything hiding in the grass, and likewise with the back area. There were so many leaves that any snake could have hidden in there easily. Do you get the impression that I don't like snakes? Well, you're definitely right there!
What have I been doing?
Well, my husband said, "Cracking the whip", but I have been busy supervising, making sure that things are done properly. My asthma precludes me from mowing, blowing with the blower-vac or mulching the strawberries with pea straw, but I provide the inspiration while my husband provides the perspiration.
My husband said, "If this is the first day of school holidays, I'll be glad when you go back to school". Well, that was the first day - what is left to do? Well, we still have to clean out the deep freezer, clean the rest of the windows, and there are ten sliding windows just in the sunrooms, as well as the rest of the house that we didn't do today, and then there are the curtains...

We are also starting to tackle some of our bigger projects these school holidays, I'm looking forward to getting some things done! Hope you are able to get thru your to do list!

***giggle*** My husband has his "list" of things to do right now as well. I too am providing the inspiration. lol! ;)
Hi Donna,
I hope that you also manage to tackle some of your larger projects these holidays. :)
We have a friend coming to stay for the next few days, so that will be a time of refreshing for her and her daughter, and for us.
My friend has survived cancer, a mastectomy, hysterectomy and having all of her back teeth removed, so it will be wonderful to be able to give her a holiday.
After Wednesday, it will be back to work until we have all of the windows cleaned and the curtains washed. :P My son needs a new computer so he will be glad to help out. Then we can relax and enjoy the holidays.
Have a great weekend,
Blessings,
Jillian
Hi Devildogwife,
Its' wonderful to be able to provide the inspiration, isn't it?
I have found that if I write a list of what I think needs doing, it actually gets done! :D
I'm still praying for healing for you. :)
Have a great weekend,
Blessings,
Jillian
