We interrupt this basement redo to bring you.................

Cleaning/yardwork day!! I knew that there was a chance of rain for the next three days so I decided to take advantage of the nice September weather. You know, our days of planting grass are almost gone so I need to get busy!!

Let's start off today with a picture of one of my favorite rooms at our house. The plant room/sun room.

Now, just so you know that I am human, I'll admit that we have lived here for 1 year and 7 months and I've never cleaned these windows. The shame!!! As you can see, they desperately needed it!

The windows look so much better now! Be sure to say hi to Henrietta down there by the palm plant. She was taking advantage of her chance at stardom!

Here is the tree that's outside of the plant room. What is it? I can't remember but I was tired of looking at the ugly little branches down low so she/he got a haircut.

I think it looks much better now. On a different note, see me down there talking over the fence to the neighbor? That's a very common occurrence here. We have such a friendly neighborhood and this is a wonderful place to live!

I spent the rest of my day trimming rose bushes and raking and mowing. I also made a lame attempt at planting a little bit of grass in the back yard. It was a very successful day and I'm so glad I took the opportunity to do some of the outdoor work because it rained hard all night, which is very good for my new grass (and our water bill).

In closing, here is a view of the tree at night. I love having that light right there.
