43 years of faithful service
So last night I said to The Curmudgeon, “The old fridge is making strange noises. I have a feeling it is not long for this world.”
It died today.
I’m used to having an overflow fridge on the back porch because the one in the kitchen is small but it is the only size that fits in the space. (My in-laws’ idiotic kitchen design strikes again. Never buy a house from your in-laws.)
I went hunting for a new one. So glad Home Dump had some on sale.
New one gets here Wednesday.
RIP old coppertone
What do you see?
I bought cherries today. I held these two up to show the Curmudgeon.
“Look! Cherry scrotum!
I’m a sick, sick person. Yep.
Well, the hammock is 1/3 there
So I dragged out the hammock stand yesterday
And now the weather prediction for the day is …yep, you guessed it…RAIN
I think I’m going to take a break
Not from the blog but from the writing on it. I am going to let pictures take you into the mind of a completely blocked mystery writer.
I woke to this…
Oh to be back to the good old days of peace and love.
I avoided watching the news yesterday.
I tried to stay off Face Book as much as possible.
Why?
I couldn’t stand all the hate mongering.
Too much hate.
Too much violence.
And way too much political bull shit.

She’s a sassy girl
I’d carried down a basket of The Curmudgeon’s dirty clothes and set it down by my desk. My back hurt bad enough that I didn’t want to go any farther. Much less down another flight of steps.
I sat down to rest my back and out of the corner of my eye I see Lucy sneaking over to the basket.
The Curmudgeon was going to holler at her but I told him to hush, I wanted to see what she’d do.
She made several attempts to climb in without success.
Then she decided to snatch a sock and that’s when the party ended.

I love shopping at our farmers market
From the instant you walk through the swinging doors, the aromas and visuals tantalize you from stand to stand.
“Come to me,” says the scent of fresh melons.
“Over here,” the bright colors of fresh vegetables draw you on.
Fresh breads entice your olfactory system.
Grilled foods perfume the air.
Your mouth waters.
Too bad they are only open 3 days a week.

Kiss the sister!
Dinner!
Sneaky Jacks…finally spotted a couple Jack in the pulpits hiding among the weeds. I REALLY need to get the garden weeded. If only my back would hold out.
Maybe I’ll weed the garden
From all indications it should be a good day to work in the yard today.
Low to mid seventies with a nice breeze.
If my back holds out long enough I might get some of the side beds cleared of weeds and ready for mulching.
I am picturing pulling out my hammock stand and setting my hammock up for escape reading.
If only the weather stays dry enough for long enough.
Here it is already plunging towards mid June and I haven’t had a chance to get anything done outside. It’s either been too wet or too hot.
I hope we get some nice days for a long enough time to enjoy them.

Lovely sleeping weather
Ah, it’s lovely when the temperature drops to the low sixties and we can turn off the AC and open the house up to the fresh air.
We all sleep better.
The pups are snoring and dreaming.
I managed to get half the clutter cleared from my desk.

Holy crap, look at all the crap.
Sitting here staring at the junk pile that is my desk. I cannot believe how much accumulation there is. I need to somehow find the time and energy to clear it off and organize it once again.
Maybe clearing my desk will make me move on around the room and clean up the clutter.
Once the living room is uncluttered can the kitchen be far behind?
The back porch?
The second floor?
The attic?
Yeah, like that will ever happen.
