Drove 7 hours yesterday to central BC. Now I’m spending the weekend helping my parent take care of their extensive yard.

This morning I chopped ten large hunks of wood into 30 smaller hunks, hacked down two dead bushes, then I spent an hour trying to find a way to level the rain barrel with different arrangements of bricks, and then I moved a bunch of 10lb planters from the garage to the front of the house.

Feels good to create some order and work the muscles a bit.

I’ll take mom to dinner tonight for belated Mom’s Day.
