For some of us, these are tasks of drudgery. For others of us, it’s incredibly satisfying to be able to get the basic maintaining of things accomplished. We’ve had to put so many things like that off with all the state funding headaches over recent years that it’s just lovely to be able to get some gravel on our lumpy and pitted parking lot (what a long winter it was!); do some spring cleaning (OK, 7 springs’ worth of cleaning) and keep on working.
