Today, there was no doubt that spring has arrived. I spent most of the day at the River House working both inside and out. As our demolition date approaches, there still remains a few items I need to remove so they can be recycled; the bathroom pedestal sink and commode, certain flooring materials, and a number of light fixtures and doors. Even though the house is coming down, it does not change the need for maintenance of the grounds which occupied the bulk of my time and contributed most to my sore muscles.
