The outdoor agenda items got rained out, so gardening, vacuuming the cars, and kayaking will have to wait.

As it was, I cleaned the fridge and sorted through about 80% of my clothes to put the winter ones in storage and send a fair amount of them on their merry way to Goodwill. I vacuumed Saturday morning -- and lamented the pet hair covering the carpet on Sunday evening, so thank goodness the pets are cute -- and did several loads of laundry.
