...that's what I remember:
Monday: Wash Day
Tuesday: Ironing Day
Wednesday: Sewing Day
Thursday: Market Day
Friday: Cleaning Day
Saturday: Baking Day
Sunday: Day of Rest
Anyone else remember that from childhood? ...and I read that 'Gardening Day' has been appended to Tuesday. *heh*
Well, true to the above instructions, we rested yesterday afternoon and evening. We did a bit more clean-up in the ravines in the early morning, when it was cool enough that we could still breath outdoors. I think I may have overdone it the past couple days as the muscles surrounding my right lung were breathing a life of their own. So, we watched a couple movies, played Scrabble and laid pretty much back. *aaahhhhh*
And, today we did the wash.
Also got a start on a second bottle tree. Trimmed one of the overgrown sumacs; it has a frame built for bottles. Am hoping it doesn't be come target practice for passing mail box smashers *crosses fingers* We found one of the boxes in the middle of the road this spring... *sighs*
Chest pain is diminishing. Only took nausea medicine once today. The muscles around my right lung have settled back down.
I told Katie I'd post my favorite photo from this past weekend:
...dunno that I'll get any ironing done tomorrow. Is that something people still do...beside B&B bed linens, that is???
I know there's a rhyme for being born on each day of the week...I have far to go.
How about you?

I can only respond to the ironing question...no one does it at my house. :) Katie
*nods* *chortles*
...did you grow up with the saying, too? Doesn't ever mention the three meals a day we'd be expected to cook, or...
I've been thinking today about what the modern translation might be. Or, if the posted list is now the list of professional housekeepers, what new list are young people growing up with?
I know for me, Monday has become Wash Day and Tuesday is Massage Day!!!
Make nice!
