I wouldn't have been able to watch the window washing if this was LIVE! The way you were leaning to reach the outside panes had me shaking in my boots! I used to sit on the 2nd floor window sills to wash my grandma's windows when I was young and stupid. Your hostas are STUNNING! In fact your entire backyard is beautiful. And that new lamp for your office is AMAZING and lastly, yes, I would love a video on rewiring lamps.

How many years since you brought in the wood chips for mulch and how much longer until they need to be replaced? I use chips I. My flower beds, but grass clippings in my garden. Mulch really reduce the weeding.

Worth twice a year to have a company come out and clean all outside windows. I don't have tilting windows I just clean inside. That was VERY dangerous you leaning out like that the window could have given way if you had slipped. Very pretty lamp never seen one like that before, it's not a cheap lamp going for nearly £200 on ebay .

One of my older friends got a chainsaw. I said to myself if she can do it so can I. Well, I did it. I got my trees down and then promptly gifted the chainsaw to another friend. It was just a little too much excitement for me. The window looks great. I don’t know why we procrastinate on these simple projects.
