Dundar smelling the lilacs

I gave Brother Phil a list of things to do while he was here w/ the proviso that if he wanted to sit on the deck and veg out instead that was OK by me.  He's been marking off at least one thing from the list daily.  Yesterday he restrung the clothesline so this morning I washed my winter quilt (yes, I still had it on the bed) and hung it out on the line to dry.  He'd also hooked up the outside water hose so I asked him if he would help me move the concrete cover for the sewer so I could do my biannual cleaning of the filter.  So much easier when there are two of us to move that heavy thing.  That done we planted Yggdrasil III out by the road and in line w/ Yggdrasil Jr. and Yggdrasil Sr.    Senior hasn't been doing very well but I was happy to see a bunch of needle buds on him today.  Not on any list, but on my mind, was to cut lilac blooms for the house.  Sister-in-law Sheila and I bopped out to the original lilacs by the road and cut enough for two bouquets.  What was on my agenda for today was to clean up Sleipnir but I only got as far as cleaning off and putting away the plant benches (and setting the gnome out to tend to the plants).  The rest of the clean up will need to wait for tomorrow.
