A week of staycation

We took this week off to have time for some longer projects.  Ian did an amazing job prepping to have our back patio put in.  And having a job walk with a contractor. He demoed part of the old sidewalk to make sure that the rose bush would be protected. He also trenched most of the length of the house to run electrical and water in case we want a sprinkler system in the back of the house. And adjusted the locations of our tight lines so that hopefully one of our downspouts will be quieter. And he installed hose bibs in the back yard and on the back deck.  I spent the first half of the week priming trim. And then did odds and ends helping Ian, installing air registers, and harvesting apricots and plums.  It's somewhat eclectic.  But a lot of progress.
