Since I did two posts last week, Saturday and Monday, I’ve covered most of the events of the past week. This is going to be a short post!<\/p>\n

Weather has improved; mostly sunny skies, no rain, and temps approaching 90 degrees today and for the next few days. (What happened to our 70s and 80s?) We plan to finally get The Box (RV trailer) up to our Sanderling lot next weekend. I am waiting on a replacement window glass; I was trying to straighten a window frame that didn’t quite seat and I cracked the glass. The local glass shop is replacing it but had to wait for tinted glass to arrive; they had only clear glass on hand.<\/p>\n

Around the house, I\u00a0tested the swamp cooler yesterday (anticipating the warmer weather coming this week). The water supply line had developed a leak that had to be repaired but everything looks good to go now. Today I will be replacing some window screening so we can open a few more windows to let in the cooler morning air. Pam has put together a list of stuff to stock The Box for our summer weekends at The Lot and she’ll\u00a0be going grocery shopping later today.<\/p>\n

Pam says “No more flower\u00a0photos!” but I couldn’t resist adding this photo of one of our columbine plants\u00a0—\u00a0all are blooming profusely. Yellows, pale and deep blues, purples, and this deep red are all doing very well this spring.<\/p>\n

Most of these colors would never exist\u00a0in the wild, or only in very small numbers, but several varieties do well in domestic flower beds. \u00a0Pam designated one raised\u00a0bed, in our back yard, as the “columbine bed” when we first put it in years ago. As the plants mature they are self-propagating and doing better and better.<\/p>\n

In family news, Craig and Dianne’s house is moving along. Latest photos show the walls are framed up and rafters are going in. Craig will begin roofing in a few days.<\/p>\n

\"Rafters<\/a>

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n

Pam’s Two Cents Worth:<\/p>\n

“Nasty poopies!” I’m sure our neighbors appreciate my (very vocal) attempts to keep the dogs from snacking on cat poop in the yard. \u00a0KitKat has decided, now the weather is nicer, that the entire lawn is her cat box. Apparently some of the feral cats have followed her lead. \u00a0Lovely. \u00a0Cleaning up animal poop (and barf)\u00a0appears to be\u00a0my life’s work…<\/p>\n
