Wednesday I'm afraid I sluffed the usual A&S and went all 'lone wolf' and prowled around town, stopping in here and there and then when damp from the rain headed home.  Leofwyna worked Wednesday and Thursday and since it rained both evenings I was laying the towels along the south wall, soaking up the seepage and running them through the laundry each day to prepare for the next evening's rain.  Leofwyna had four days off in her new schedule and was looking forward to getting lots done.  It's all a blur to me now but all her bedroom furniture is in the house, the trimwork is nearly completed, the yard is mown and the gutters cleaned out.  Sunday was the barony's Newcomer's event where we invited persons who seemed interested at JAV to come and have a more intensive opportunity to learn about the SCA, away from the ren faire atmosphere.  Monday we went to Menards and Hy-Vee together to take advantage of some coupons and brainstorm some projects around the yard.  I'm planning converting some soaker hose and plain hose with connectors for the raised beds so that I won't be making wet places in the paths between the beds.  I'll be able to utilize this in the hoophouse in the spring and fall, too.  We're also planning on how to set up the water barrel we bought a couple weeks ago so it will be secure, useful and still able to remove to the garage through the winter months to help it last longer.
