Its Hot outside

Well here it is after 7 PM and it is still over 90 degrees outside. It has been so hot outside today that I didn't even venture outside unless it was unavoidable. I did have to take my daughter to work and then go pick her up when she finished. I want to get a few things done in the house but part of that requires me to go outside I just decided to put it off until it cools down a little. Thank God for Air Conditioning. I did however get to spend a little time on the computer today and that was enjoyable. I didn't really do much of anything that was really special. I checked my E-Mail. Sent out my thought for the day and checked out a couple of newspapers. Maybe tomorrow it will cool off a little and I will then be able to do a couple of things in the house. Have to wait and see. This is about all I have to say for tonight so I will sign off and maybe pick up again tomorrow.

Father's day +1 or the day after

Today is Monday after Fathers day. My father's day consisted of going to Church twice yesterday and talking to my wife on the phone because she is in Florida getting sunburned and Letting me stay in NJ with my oldest daughter. My youngest daughter did call me and wish me a happy Father's Day. All in all it was a quiet day. I did manage to put a coat of paint on my sheds under the deck. It looks nice. I was surprised how well it looks considering the color. It is a very light brown or a beige. I had put two coats of white primer on the shed first. With this last coat it is an paint that resembles rubber after it dries. It makes the wood water resistant. The primer is Kilz and it is water and stain resistant also. Hopefully it will keep the wood from deterring quite so fast. In fact I like the color so much I think I will paint the inside passage way to the back door the same color. I think that the color compliments the white the house siding is. Will have to wait and see.
I have been cleaning up the property on the back of the property. There is a lot of brush and trees that have been growing for many years back there. The area has not been cleared since We have owned the house. We purchased the house and property in 1977. My trusty chain saw and I have been quite busy. The area is looking better but I still have a lot to do. Hopefully my daughter will get her car back soon and will be able to bring a trailer with a wood chipper so I will be able to chip up the tree limbs that I cut and the small trees that I cut. The larger wood I will cut into stuff that I can burn in a wood burning stove. Can't let it go to waste.
Well It is going to be hot today and I do want to get a few things done before it gets too hot. So if you are reading this. Keep cool and have a great day.

Another weekend

Well here it is Saturday and I am here checking things out on the computer. After having the grandkids all week and sending my wife to Florida and a quick trip to Maryland to take the grandkids home yesterday and then coming back I finally got a good nights sleep last night. Now to get up and around today. I brought s car load of stuff back from Maryland yesterday and now I have to go unpack the car and get things straightened out around the house. I have quite a fet things I would like to get done today so I will have to see what I can get done. It is still overcast and cool outside. What will the day be like, Have to wait and see. I have been trying quite hard to get the yard straightened out now that I am at home and trying to catch up on three years of not being able to keep up with the stuff around the house. I find however that this is a never ending job. With any luck I will just be able to keep up. I have found however a new found beauty in the outside. I the way God has of making things new again every spring. The green in the grass comes back and more alive than I remember it from the fall before. The renewing of the flowers. The renewing of the leaves on the trees. So much beauty all around us that quite often we just don't take the time to look, listen and experience the simple things that we should. All the fruit trees around are all starting to produce fruit. The vegatables are all starting to grow with a promise to produce later in the year. So much to see but then again I wonder just how much we fail to stop and take it all in. I always hear the phrase "stop and smell the roses", well the roses are there I just pray that everyone will take the time to stop, look, and take a good whiff of the beauty of the roses. Guess I had better close this blog and get dressed and go out and smell the roses.

Hectic week,

Well here it is the first day of the week if you can call monday the first day of the week. So far this week I have my 4 grandkids here to keep for the week at my house instead of in Maryland. It is a nice change. This way I will be able to do things here at the house instead of just letting them sit undone. I have to go get Gas for the lawn mower and the weed whacker. Just a minor thing but I must remember to get it. Everytime that I go out (alone or with my wife) I forget to take the gas can. I can't carry the gas in my pocket for some reason. My daughter brought up a little wading pool and the kids are after me to sit it up. I guess I will have to get that done before long. I also have to balance my daughters check book. I also want to build some shelves in my room downstairs to keep my tools. I have a lot to do. I guess I will get done sometime today. If not today then tomorrow. We will see what happens. I know this that on friday I have to take the kids back to MD but I have to wait and pick up my daughter first. I won't be able to leave until about 6 PM. That might make some people a little disappointed or mad but as my wife says. The mad will get glad again. I love that saying becaused it is so true. So on with my week.
