These included moving all the deck and yard pots of flowers to a covered alcove for the winter, raking the upper garden and the lower orchard area, hauling all the lawn Xmas decorations out from the crawl space, and spreading winter mulch on her wee garden plot.
Between the two of us, we managed to get almost all of it done, with the mulch not happening. Dad is 81, and Mom 75, and this is the first time they have not felt capable of doing this themselves. Dad especially has found the last year to be one where his physical abilities have declined, and he just hates it.
We came home and had hot showers and were in bed muchly early. Slept until 11 am today.
