Fire And Rain 2


This morning I woke up at 10 and this was what I saw outside our patio door. The patio was so dirty, the chairs are dirty and ashes all over--the covered garden set, the covered grill and the covered wheeled cart. And I know it was time to clean-up whether I like it or not. It must be done now, but, not the usual way--sweeping it and all. Ash dirt is better cleaned if hose down a little with water and swept with a broom and a dustpan and put in a garbage bag. I know it was going to be a messy job. So, I got my nose mask and a black Palos hat and started the task of cleaning from the top (trellis), to the tables and down to the floor.

And what do you know, it started to rain. Good! That made my job easier and cleaner. I dusted the surfaces and hosed down the patio and patio furnitures and front door and door mat and floor with water. After 2 hours I was done. Our ourside was a lot cleaner, it is still raining till now. I watered the flowers also and I had to take a picture of this rose. After that I was ready to eat lunch of crab torta, fried chicken and, of course, rice. It has been literally, fire and rain. Am I sounding like James Taylor. Well, I used to look like him when I was younger. Only, he's more balder than me. Yabang ano? Joke lang!
