I also need to hose down our front porch. It's still covered in pollen from last month!<br /><br />I'm hoping to finish A Man Called Ove later this afternoon. I'm loving this novel and the only reason it's taken me a full month to read is that I'm reading at bedtime and haven't lasted more than 10 minutes before falling asleep.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-62502952379547049412015-05-25T09:44:33.691-04:002015-05-25T09:44:33.691-04:00Yay for summer.
