I was motivated in yesterday's decent weather to get out the power washer and clean the deck. I did most of it between 10h00 and 12h00 when making noise is allowed on holidays. I did the rest after lunch. None of our immediate neighbors is in town and the one who is was running his lawnmower. I figured I could risk breaking the rule just this once. Ahem. It took me ten minutes and then it was done. Today I'll bring up the patio furniture and get the grill ready for use. We might use it on Friday.
Today's photo is another one of rocks at Joshua Tree. This one looks to me like the back end of an elephant that's kneeling down. Ok, I'll stop.
