vacation day four

Today Bill was sick in the same way I was on Thursday - same bad diarrhea and extreme fatigue. I had him spend most of the day in bed.

Dan power washed the deck. That took hours, but the deck looks great now.

Steven dug out two new flower beds for me. I planted something like 40 lily bulbs - all them either pink or white. Tomorrow I will plant gladiolus bulbs as well.

Quiet day at home, getting a lot of things done. We even took the deck furniture apart to get them as clean as humanly possible.

The dog got to spend most of the day outside with us (yes, we gave him a big bowl with clean, cold water). That made the old fellow very happy, though he wasn't up to much more than lying around sniffing the air.
