One thing leading to another all day

Wednesday was full of things leading to another.

I wasn't in the mood to walk, but wanted some physical exertion, all that fish creating energy, so I decided to rake the future patio area, and find the rest of my river stone collection. It's been buried by weather, renovations and boneheads driving cars over it.

Less flinging and more arranging. I'm happy with the result. One of the neighbors fancies doing something similar.

Then since today I was meeting with the HVAC man to get an estimate for the heat pump at the condo, I alerted Handsome Son to make sure the upstairs storage unit was cleared enough to let him in to see the upstairs part of the pump.

And I asked if it was stuff he was ready to part with. It was, so since he was home today, day off, I went over early and we picked out what I could rehome for him. He lugged it down to my car 

Two views. Tomorrow I'll unload and take pictures for Freecycle purposes. A couple of things are useful for me, such as that black metal chair, for my future patio. 

Aside from waiting in some trepidation for the upcoming email with Larry's estimates on the new heat pump, this worked fine.

And the nights are getting much cooler so I brought in one of the coleus plants to hang in the kitchen. It was huge, so I pruned quite a bit off it and put the prunings into a bucket of water on the deck.  

Two neighbors want to share them.   The resulting plant now hanging in the kitchen looks shaggy from pruning, but will revive soon and I need to shape it better.

And while I was in and out, I noticed an offshoot of the lavender plant which I kicked over and uprooted, now living thankfully out of traffic on the deck. I pulled out the offshoot complete with root and gave it to a neighbor who has envied my lavender for years. 

All good, I'd say. Plenty of exertion including a bunch of sit to stand exercises this morning. I think I'm keeping up.

Happy day everyone, keep up. Or don't, nobody's counting.
