Day 194

I had another chance at a squirrel this morning, but it ran away before I could get a shot off again.

After breakfast I went outside and finished spraying the weeds with the stuff I had left from earlier.  There will be some when we get back, but I got all that are growing right now.  Then I put away the ladder and swept up the leaves from the front porch.  There didn't seem to be any reason to clean up the inside of the house without doing that.  Of course the leaves were back in an hour or so.

Then I went inside, got out the vacuum, and started to clean up the house.  I used the hose to clean up all of the base trim.  It was all dirty from 6 months of Texas dust.  I also vacuumed all of the rooms.  It must have taken a couple of hours.

Then I got out the new cow skin and put it in the bedroom.  The bedroom one came out to the kitchen with the other one.

We went over to Barnes and Noble to look for the two books I wanted.  They didn't have either one.  So we went over to Starbucks so Ellen could update the GPS.  It's a 700 MB file.  The connection was so slow that after 2 hours the download was only half done.  So we gave up.  I might try the library on Monday.
