We're getting mom's house cleared out. It looks so bare with so much gone.

We did a lot of sorting and dividing today at mom's.

Deck is done.
 

We painted the spindles on mom's deck with a colored stain.

I got some more plant shelves cleared off and cleaned.  Not everything is going back up.

I cleaned and removed some decorations from my shelf.  I'm still deciding what else I'm putting up there for now.

I got up on the roof with a caulking gun to glue down some shingles we saw flapping in the last wind storm.  For the most part, the shingles on the house still seem in good shape.

We picked up sticks at my mom's this afternoon.  My sister still doesn't have electric and might not get it back until Wednesday.

I was on the roof today while it was nice.  Our chimney has a leak but we're not completely sure where yet.

The nearby grocery store is remodeling.  This is the last area, so here is a before.  They're painting the walls and ceiling white, which we are not impressed with.  It reminds me of what stores looked like in the 80s.  We liked this better.

We visited Lanterman's Mill in Youngstown.  It's a restored grist mill.  The water wheel is on the lowest level, inside the building, and was very interesting to watch.

My younger son and I went up to the Amish store for some bulk food items.

There's still a little snow left around.

The snow mostly melted, and we got some sun today.

I drive past this big steel manufacturing plant to get to work.

My son showed me my phone can take panoramic pictures, so I took one in Akron this morning.

My daughter tested negative for Covid, but now the rest of us have whatever bug she had.  Except my husband, so he's the only one getting anything done this weekend.  He moved a dirt pile and scraped more for our patio.
