Sometimes I wonder

My mother-in-law is coming. She lives up the shore and is coming into town to buy plants. She wants to stop by for some foundation. She called more than three hours ago to say she is coming.
Since then I have rearranged the furniture to accommodate the new table papa refinished for me, cleaned my kitchen (please someone tell me why I allow Punky and the Nuschler in my house at all!), found the floor again in my office and cleaned myself up.

Now I am looking for things to do that will add to the clean factor without adding to the mess factor. And I suppose it is time to accept the fact that it is the last day of June. Time to stop ignoring the weeds taking over my plants. My neighbor made me take care of a few of the "jungle" weeds facing her house yesterday. And I did it, if not just to stay in her good graces. If anyone tries to break into our house, that 80+ year old will be here with a bat in a heartbeat.

And here is my mother-in-law...
