SPRING SHOWERS

Well here it is the 26th day of May and what a busy month it has been.

One set of friends went to Phoenix for a week and I took care of their place for them.

Then the following week after that another set of friends went to Grand Junction for the husband to have surgery and there were complications, so they did not return home when everyone thought that they should. What was to have been overnight for them turned into one full week as well. Thank the Lord for cell phones.

So in around all of the above I got 11 flowerbeds cleaned out and new seeds planted. I purchased the seeds when they were first being put out on the shelfs back several months ago. Then the City had several different freebes this month which I took part in. Hauling off of any cuttings: branches, limbs, etc. and then they had City beautification week and if you put it out on your curb they would haul it off. So I got the garage cleaned out and all of the junk hauled to the curb and gladly waved good bye to it. It is unbelievable what we collect and as reported in my last blog I got rid of the tree thru the City and all of the old electronic stuff as well. I just have to remember that if you don't use it in 6 months away it should go.

Two weeks ago the outdoor faucet was finished and then Walt came by and got the swamp cooler going as well as getting the sprinkler system up and running.

Then last Wed. the rains started which all of the weather men are saying shouldn't be happening up until around the 15th of June, but moisture that we so desperately need to prevent fires later on. (And certainly don't need the cooler, Oh Well ).

Haven't been off of the place the past month, except to go to the grocery store. Then over the weekend I went to the casino two different days and managed to break even, but I needed to get away from the place for awhile and my family was busy getting their place ready for the summer.

So all in all things have been being very busy.

This week is the last week of school. Latest I can every remember it being. I have been told it is because they started a week late this last fall.

Well enough for now. Hope to do better this next month. We will see.
