If you've ever spent a summer in New York, you know that's not referring to the club Axel Rose spoke of, but instead HOT, HUMID, and HAZY! And that's what these last few days have been like, the air is mighty thick. And this is nothing, wait until August gets here. I guess the good part about it is that the garden is growing like crazy. The broccoli have really taken off, and the celery looks mighty healthy too. We have a bunch of little green grape tomatoes, and every morning Grace and I go outside to take a look at it before she leaves. Yesterday was her day off, so we floated around in the pool and pretty much relaxed most of the day. I went over to a friends new house and replaced a water line that had burst over the winter so he could turn his outside hose on and fill his pool. Then I hooked up his pool filter for him and gave him the quick rundown on how to have a sparkling pool in 5 easy steps. That's about all I've been up to lately. Hope to start work next week. Going to New Hampshire again this weekend and I'll take lots of pics this time. K, gotta run and pick up Sam from school. Try and stay cool... -Steve posted @ 12:54 PM EST [link] [Karma: 8 (+/-)]Everything is green and alive! Yup, it was a dreary winter, but the yard is alive and thriving, the blackberries are fixin' to fruit soon and the poison ivy patch by the stone wall is doing very well! It's been raining like every day or night and the grass is growing like crazy. And it gets really cool at night (good sleeping weather) so the pool, although it's crystal clear and looks very inviting, is still freezing. Actually the water was 62 degrees yesterday, Sam went for a swim and said his feet went numb rather quickly... But it should be near 90 today and tomorrow, hopefully it will warm it up a bit. The garden is starting to look better. The peppers have baby peppers and the grape tomatoes are starting to produce little greenies. When it takes off and starts to look like a jungle, I'll post some pics. I don't know what to do with my gray cat. She keeps killing chipmunks and baby rabbits. And then she brings them in our room and proceeds to eat them. I mean the whole thing, you wake up to the sound of her crunching on bones in the middle of the night! She's really a good cat, I just can't seem to convince her that Cat Chow is a sufficient diet! And I really like to see the chippies and rabbits around the yard (long as they stay outta the garden) so I wish she'd leave them be... Anyway, I took some pictures a week or so ago and made another thumbnail page. These are shots around the yard . I added some commentary and hope you enjoy. Now you'll get a sense of what I see every morning when I walk outside. Plus you'll see my favorite trees. OK, I have to do a little carpentry and tape some sheetrock next door, so I'm gonna start my day. Enjoy the sunshine- -Steve posted @ 09:10 AM EST [link] [Karma: 14 (+/-)] |
