Today's Weather
Well, we just had a week of torrential rain, and I knew it. It would turn off hot and humid! and I am supposed to walk everyday. I suppose we will have to get out at day break!
As I Look Outside My Window
Well, we had so much going on last week outside with the rain breaking off large limbs of our oak trees, and power outages.. poor Lynn hasn't been able to work on painting, I fear he is getting out of the mood! When our water line broke last fall they tore up the front yard and just plowed it over and laid straw to keep it from eroding. Well, now we do have a lovely half yard of fresh grown grass and it was landscaped beautifully, but now we have to dig a trench to hook up the lamppost that was ripped out when they were digging out the water line. We found out last week it would cost a $1000.00 to reset a new lamppost. I am aghast at that. Is there no end to expensive things that need to be done around the house? I think Lynn is planning to dig that trench. It shouldn't be that big of a trench just a long one down by the walk. But it means he will be that much more behind in the painting. Poor Lynn, I speak so harshly I know, it is just that this project has been going on all of this year!
Thinking and Pondering
If you are interested our Scotland trip will encompass each of the 10 sites in the video except #1 the Island of Orkney, but we will be doing the Hebrides west of Oban including Staffa home of the puffins!
How I Am Feeling This Morning
I am happy to say that the pain I am feeling these days and most of last week is due to the exercises I am doing to strengthen myself... muscles, legs , glutes and back. So working through the pain is really good . MY therapist is working mainly on weights and resistance. and it is helping. I have just got too start walking more. Please weather, cool down!

Around the House
I suppose I have already covered this one in the above sections. Of course, I hope that in some small way Lynn can paint something!
Midday Addition: Lynn did get a wee bit of painting accomplished . He touched ump the crown molding where he accidentally got wall paint on it! Yay! Hubs!
And inspired by Luludon I got upstairs in the guest closet and cleaned out the shelves. I found some old clothes from a previous size and some odds and ends to declutter!!
Decluttered:
- red wool skirt
- 2 cosmetic bags
- I bag of gently used plastic rollers
- a bag of hair ties
- a pocket calculator
- a grandmother plaque
- a bad of craft ribbon
- slate board
- a notice board
- 2 blouses
- 1 denim crops
- 1 denim jacket
- And now the shelves in the closet are straight and orderly
From The Camera
This is the tablescape I wrote about on here on Thursday. What with Uvande and the school shooting, I was in quite a mood. That along with the upcoming Memorial Day, my thoughts were quite pensive and just praising God for His goodness and mercy. You can see my post here.

ReplyDeleteLet's trade weather! I'm missing my hot, humid weather. It's much too cool here for June. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteoh my so expensive for the repairs! hope your husband can keep going on so it gets done asap before it gets too hot. Yay for the decluttering! I have been keeping a list of all this year, can't wait to see it at the end of the year all completed. It never seems like much but I'm sure it'll add up to way more than I thought.
