I power-washed about 80% of the dock today, since I wasn’t at work and it wasn’t raining (a rare combination this year). This was something Arthur used to do. It didn’t get done, the last two years. Moss was growing verdantly on the dock. It needed cleaning.
I hate these kinds of chores – they combine loud machinery (the internal-combustion power-washer) and physical labor. I’m not a fan of either of these things.
In other news, my rhododendron shrub, that I planted 4 years ago (I think?), suddenly decided to bloom. I thought it was planning to die – it wasn’t looking healthy, and it’s never bloomed before.
Here it is (on the left) with my never-grown-much coast redwood (on the right, very small, overshadowed by blueberries on stump behind). That blue in the background is the sea.
