      • @roseinbloom, Can you move the flower pots back up againist the wall where your patio door is located and the furniture can you maybe tie it to the railing that is around you patio if it has open slats and you can tie the chairs to the slats and that way they will be able to move. 🌞

I don’t have time to sort it all out since I have two men coming to help and they do not stick to a strict schedule, but being flexible is good also. I am winding up…

        • Morning Rose, that’s good logic to stay indoors out out the damp and dark. I truly can’t remember the last cup of coffee I had, I do so much prefer builders tea, no sugar and barely no milk. Hope you have a great day and stay safe and warm.

          • So I missed your post yesterday I was in the land of nod then, you are absolutely right about being unable to pour concrete in freezing temps, happy you enjoyed your meal, napping is a habit I have problems with, it really plays havoc when I retire for bed.

          • A happy Sunday hello and I just spent over hour reading a magazine published for seniors, AARP Bulletin.
