I couldn't believe the colour of the sky on Sunday night as I walked back home from Safeway (where I needed to buy some vanilla ice cream to replace Gramma's stock). It was the deepest, most malevolent-looking grey I had ever seen, and I had to get a picture of it as the wind thrashed the trees back and forth.
Turns out it was mostly bluster, though, because they next day when I got up it was almost 30 degrees and sunny as can be. I had a great time setting up the back patio and sanding Gramma's cedar deck chairs in preparation to stain them. Around 3:30 I jumped in the car after google-mapping the directions to the Home Depot at South Common and headed over to find some appropriate stain, but after a minor wrong turn I found a Canadian Tire and decided to go there instead. The bottom picture is of me chilling in my Granny-wagon, a big silver Mercury Grand Marquis that guzzles gas and rides so smoothly I break the speed limit without knowing it.
Today I'm back to work after two days off, and my elbow is sore from sanding, but I'll be okay.
