Sweet release!

I'm pleased to report the hippie-girls have departed, apparently for good. What caused their departure? Perhaps a re-united Grateful Dead concert is transpiring nearby, but I prefer to believe it was my glaring. Now I can get outside and make my rounds.

Also, I hear rumours that (now that it's finally painted) there's a project planned for the back deck. Ooh, perhaps I can help. I'm a good helper!
