We had a very nice rain last night which means I do not have to water the garden and the sod that I put in. I am sure the plants and sod like the GOD water better than the well water too. With some warm weather I think the garden will start to grow BUT the down side is the lawn will also grow so I will need to get that mower out. This time of year, when we have rain, I usually mow about every 4 or 5 days.
Terry and I spent a fun several hours with Connie and Darrel yesterday. They are friends of Terry's from way back. When one spends time with them you can be sure there are laughs and good food. In the same trip we picked up Terry's car from storage and brought it home. We now have 3 vehicles around which is really too many but they all get used.
Not much work was done yesterday. I did start to put in railings down from the deck on the east side and the south side. Attaching the posts to the deck is no big deal but attaching a post to the cement is not so easy. I made sure I had a good cement drill bit but that darn bit tends to move away from where I want the hole and with 4 holes needing to be lined up that is a problem. I will make it happen but need to come up with a better strategy than I had yesterday.
I need to post a couple of things on Craig's list today. I do not like to do that as often one gets a note saying something like this "I want your item but am out of town. I would like to send you a check for $20 more than the asking price if you would just send me your bank info so I can deposit it!" Oh my do some people actually fall for that kind of scam? Anyway I will go on line after I write here and see what I can do. I just do not want to get a note from someone who is in India or in South America!
As I sit in front of the den windows and type I am looking out through VERY dirty windows. I think my day would start better if I take some time to clean them. Years ago it was get a ladder outside and wash there and then come in the house and wash the inside. THEN look out and see the smudge outside and climb the ladder again. Today I can open the windows and tilt to clean. Not very difficult so I have no excuse to leave it undone.
Will close for today and after taking the last sip of FP will kind of get to work.
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
