It has been ten days since I have done the blog. Most of that time was because the blog wasn’t working, Jerry got over here and got it up and running again. I hope that it stays up and going. This week has been busy so haven’t been able to get at the computer much. The heat doesn’t help either.
Summer arrived last Friday with a Bang! We went from 70’s and 80’s to the 90’s and 100’s over night. It is hard to adjust when it is such a sudden change. Right now it is 89 Degrees at 12:53 p.m. and the high should be 95 degrees with the heat index at 107 degrees. That is what it should feel like.
I am doing physical therapy twice a week, on Monday and Thursday last week and this week. It is at 1:00 p.m., so with the heat at 95 degrees and the humidity at about the same. When I get home I just find the ice water and the recliner and am done for the day.
Yesterday we had the plumber here in the morning. He replaced the wax ring under the toilet in the guest room, and fixed the drain in there. We need to get a new faucet for there one day soon. Then replace the flow valve in the back bathroom toilet. And calked around three toilets in the house. The upstairs hall bathroom is fine as we had it totally remodeled four years ago. He and his partner were very good, professional, neat and pleasant. And not overly expensive.
Our front flower garden is looking so nice. The flowers are blooming and make the place looks very cheerful. The squirrels (3) are very busy hunting the birdseed that the birds kindly drop for the, The chipmunk is also very busy going back and forth from west to east, but haven’t figured out just where he comes from or where he goes. He is the speedy one. He, too, will stop and grab a few bird-seeds as a break with his rushing back and forth. The birds are plentiful and busy. We have several different kinds that visit our feeders. So Pretty and so much fun to watch.
Wah’s House Hold Hints”; Plant a few Castor Beans around the house to keep down flies and mosquitoes. Castor Beans planted with cucumbers or cantaloupe will keep insects down.”
Have a great rest of your “Hump Day”. Make it a cool, cheerful, relaxing and fun summer day.
