What to do? What to do? Onerous tasks ahead:

Hacking away the English ivy that threatens to pull the eaves off the house and touching up the paint

Trimming all shrubs

Driving across town to a laundromat with super-capacity machines to wash bedcovers currently in use and two or three bedspreads that need to be stored

Overhauling the back bedroom, which has become a repository for unneedful things

Dragging all items off bookshelves and scrubbing/dusting them

Replacing shelf paper in kitchen cabinets where needed

I suppose the outdoor work should come first. The dust inside isn't going anywhere.
