Sunday's Elbow Grease

Today was the first really warm day, (mid 70's) that we have had this Spring. I did my usual go to church routine this morning and then hosted a group that met at my home until 2 pm. I decided to sit on the deck on my new chaise and read a book after the women went home. That lasted about 1/2 hour and I got the urge to clean my deck. This is something that has bugged me for awhile. The deck gets quite dirty and I have no hose to just hose it off. Cleaning the deck includes the items seen below on my journal page.

It felt really good to be working out in the warm weather, scrubbing on my hands and knees like an Irish Washer Woman, (my heritage). The project took longer than I thought it would but the results were well worth it. A sense of pride and accomplishment, a clean deck and plenty of exercise for today.

You probably can not see how nice it looks but I took a couple of photos anyway.
Now, I am all dirty, but a shower will fix that and it certainly is a step up from a bucket!
