After an
exceptionally
tough winter, the big day is finally here. Fortunately we haven't
suffered the usual monsoon season this year, with only occasional rain
-- the last being yesterday's storm.
Today is
partly cloudy, in the low 60s. At last it was time to get Chip Ahoy
moved out front from its winter location alongside the house, uncover it
and get this year's projects underway.
Over the
winter I had only one small project this year, revisiting and restoring
the cribboards. I completed that task yesterday so everything's good to
go.
Each season
the covering and uncovering rituals become easier, quicker. Practice
makes perfect and this ninth spring went smoothly.
I don't have
the usual amount of work this spring to make Chip Ahoy ready for
launching -- "by Memorial Day Weekend" should happen again, for the
second year in a row. (Apr. 14, 2011) |
