Another day just like the last one!

The garden as it begins week 5.  Had to put a fence up as those rabbits love the tiny plants.

No I did not pay $1. for the cucumber but wanted to show the size as it was our second one of the summer.
The taste and aroma of cucumbers out of the garden are out of this world.  Well I know that is not possible but...

Day 21, "Every picture has a story"

Nails left over from the roofing job 20+ years ago.  The roof, the stories are many and long.  At one time I almost acted like a lighting rod as the rain came down and the water seeped into the house.  I climbed up on the roof to replace the canvas cover.  I know, not smart for sure.  The roof took too long and I became way way to comfortable up on it.  At the same time I tore the chimney down to below the roof line and then built it up.  A mason I am not but it actually looks fine.  I had a lot of help from Aaron, Travis and John.  I will not go into some of the gory details that I take credit for but am not proud of.  I plan to put the 1 3/4" nails on Craig's List today as I have NO NO use for them now.  It they sell I can rejoice in the fact that another little thing is out of the house!  Each Thursday I look for junk around the house and garage that can be thrown.  I am usually successful.

It is another perfect day.  I actually got on the bike for the first time in several days.  After being out of town for 4 days I just did not get back into the saddle as it seemed there were/are so many things to be done.  A short ride this morning but I started it at 5:30 and the Highland area was so peaceful and quiet.  In the strip mall where there is parking for maybe 75 cars not 1 was to be seen.  I killed two birds with one stone so to speak as I got my bike ride in and also picked up eggs on the way home.  AND also a paper for Terry as our Tribe paper stopped today and the normal subscription is NOT worth the everyday cost.  Got to get it on a special.
Progress on things here on Niles ave is slow but steady.  I could also say slowly steady!  I was able to fertilize the lawn yesterday and now this morning I need to get some week killer down.  Again the goal is not a manicured lawn but rather a lawn with grass instead of dirt!
FP gone and I am good to go outdoors to treat the lawn.  Then it will be inside to see if I can figure out that darn ceiling fan installation where I am attempting to marry a modern fan with a 110 year old house.  It that sounds difficult it IS.
