This nice but warm day was a day of tidying, in many senses. First it was "loose ends" indoors with me installing the newly painted coat/hat racks where Jean wanted them & Pete in the workshop. Then it was outside for some tidying of hoses and the like. At Jean's insistence we eschewed any seriously heavy work like major pruning/uprooting of shrubs since I would start traveling the next day and they take off a couple of days later. However, sessions with the gas-powered blower were not deemed to be heavy so while Jean was at the hairdresser and other places a very significant session of leaf-blowing took place, the end result making an enormous improvement to the appearance of the most-used area of the yard, driveway, etc.
After a late and leisurely lunch I seriously reorganized my "stuff" and put as much of it as I would no longer need in the van, to make the final packing for departure easy the next day. After that I plotted the first part of my route northwards and made a reservation for the night based on the assumption of a mid-morning departure.
This was a day of a "super moon", a full moon closer to earth than it has been any time in the last seventeen years, so in the latter part of the evening we went out for a look. It was brilliantly bright, completely overwhelming the capabilities of Jean's and my little pocket cameras, despite our trying a variety of settings.
