I have a long list of things I'd like to get done today. The weather is going to be nice, so my plan is to:
1. Organize my garage - there's one narrow path through the clutter and it's annoying me
2. Cut the grass - *rolls eyes* I dislike this job, but it needs to be done
3. Rearrange the painted rocks - picture of whimsical and clever yard art forthcoming
4. Begin Fall cleanup of garden - it's time to prune the 10' rose bush - yikes!!
5. Clean out my car - will assign window cleaning to Mr W, who is angling for an extra $5 to tack on to his allowance money to buy another Lego toy. I hope to get some work out of him...
I guess that's it. It's a beautiful day in CO today, and I'm glad to be here to enjoy it.
In other news,
CB is in Australia for the next three weeks, leading a bird watching tour across half of the country. The time change presents a challenge for communicating. It's 8 hours earlier, on the next day over there. So I can get up at 5 am and talk to him before he goes to bed, or he can call me at work when he gets up in the morning.
We've done a lot of chatting on Skype, which lets you call a place through your computer for very cheap rates. If he's got a good connection then we'll video chat, but if not, then I can call his hotel with my computer (yes, the technology was news to me too) and talk to him that way.
The tour has a pelagic (ocean bird) trip before the rest of the tour starts, and he reported that he got a good look at one of these, a Blue Shark:
