Friday Work

We tentatively planned on Friday always being a work day.  We have been doing that for a few months now anyway working in the shop.  Now we are working outside. 
We didn't get as much done as we hoped, not that we had a big plan.  The lawn did get mowed for the second time and it looks much better.  The first mowing of the season is always crap and we let this one go too long.  Today I did the front with the push mower and Pat started the back with the rider.  He got a good bit done and then the belt broke.  Glad it was him and not me.  I am notorious for having belts break on riders.  So I finished the back with the push mower.  It wasn't too bad since he had started and it was just mowed last Friday. 
Parts are ordered for the rider so next weekend it should be back in commission.  We started talking about which projects we want to do.  I said I wanted some flowers and I was informed that if I planted them, I was responsible for them.  That is kind of a duh for me.  I don't want to plant them in the ground.  I just want a couple of baskets. 
So we are going to straighten up the front flowerbed with some weed deterrent and some new bark.  No flowers.  Pat just wants an edge so he doesn't have to mow close to the house.  We are going to get the patio cover repaired.  Somehow we need to get the moss off the roof and neither of us like the idea of it being one of us.  We are going to totally trim back the camellia.  It has grown to well over twelve feet high.  It is suppose to be a little shrub, but it is at least 40 years old. We want to make the front patio usable and not just storage.
So we have some plans.  I'm working all the time really, not just on Fridays.  Fridays are just our bigger work day with plans.  ;p
