To-day I used my first vacation day of 2019 to do the following:
* pull weeds from Delbert's Garden (to compost bin)
* pulled weeds from Marvin's Garden
* pull a few weeds from the back yard (to compost bin)
* dig out blackberry on south side and put in compost bin
* cut and placed landscape fabric onto east driveway cap (EDC)
* empty all pebble bags (from the Heating Oil Tank bed) onto EDC
* pull pile of pebbles on south side by natural gas meter to EDC
* empty two full pebble bags (laying in Squeaker's Corner by heat exhaust) onto EDC
* added two roof tacks (found by meter) and a metal scrap (found by back steps) to metal can
* pulled weeds from House 70 border area

Stopped for lunch and to escape the minor shower activity.
When I re-started:
* moved some brick stacks from Vancouver house to block gaps under back room.
