Whoa

It seems that the days, the weeks, the months are like a snow ball on a cold warm day when you can roll it down a steep hill and it gets bigger and bigger but with time it just goes faster and faster.  We are looking at September in two days.  That should mean that the dog days of summer are behind us and cooler shorter days are not far in the future.  Summer or summer where have you gone?  Actually the shorter part is here as I was up at 6 this morning and there was no sun to be seen at that time.
Some experiences in the past few days:

• Playing tennis with an 8 year old who seemed to be in another universe.
• Rehabbing old windows that have NO glaze on them.
• Repainting the inside of a window that was (in a non-thinking time) painted with exterier color.
• Tasting Terry's new dill pickles after getting 20 wide mouth jars out of the garage attic.  A year ago I was within an eyelash of recycling those jars.
• Spending time at a picnic with many people I had not talked to for a long time.
• Going on a short bike ride that was refreshing.
• Enjoying grilled summer squash with a homemake cheeseburger.
• Eating too many BLT's with home grown tomatoes.
• Winning in cribbage but then sadly being skunked the next night.
• Getting more order in the garage with the five bikes finally hanging neatly on the east wall.
• Glanceing at the two new basement windows each time I go downstairs.  I certainly like the trim that we put around them.  For some reason I so enjoy recreating old things or taking a molding or something and making a new one just like the old one.
• Washing the convertible that we so would like to sell but nobody has called yet.
• Cleaning and oiling chains on the bikes around here.

Well the list could be longer but enough.  I intend to get out kind of early this morning and prime one window and paint another one.  I have trim on one that needs to go up after the window is in again.  So it is get up and go as there are things to do, places to go, people to see and who knows what else.
