Getting back into the swing

I tried to make today as much of a business-as-usual day as possible. I started the day with food shopping and then my brother John and his boys Joe and John came over to help me rake leaves and pine needles. I was able to get more done than I expected to do but they put me to shame. It was great, though to actually do something. I'll pay for this with soreness tomorrow. I'm actually paying for it now but I'm hoping that a hot bath will help with that.

Tomorrow we're expecting sleet and then rain through the rest of the day. It's great to know that the yard is cleaned up. I'll enjoy looking out at it from the comfort of my cozy warm house!
