stubbed toes and mud pies

spiders and ants are pretty much all over the place and most of them won't really hurt you or bite. safe journeys!

well at least i didn't wake up at 3:30am 20 quarts i'll have to get out of the oven and get them marked and put into cases this morning when i do get moving. Friday already! week went by fast.

washed windows outside and a few other maintenance kinds of things.

temperature going up instead of staying reasonable so i better get the mowing done tomorrow.

since it is raining i don't know that i'll be mowing today after all. i may just go back to sleep this morning...

still haven't mowed, hope to get that done today. trash day, woke up an hour and a half early... *grumpsmirk*

yesterday was the odds and ends day. we had a new friend come over to help me put the replacement piece of orange stained glass up on the lighthouse (it got blown out several months ago by a storm or the wind flexed it too much and popped the glass out). i wasn't feeling confident enough that i could do it myself without risking breaking it or doing something klutzy - i needed three hands. it only took us a few minutes and it went well. put some caulk on there to hold it better this time. i was surprised that there were no hornet or bird nests in there.

and then we moved a pallet to replace a rotting one that was under the decorative pot bellied stove and he helped me move the stove off the old pallet and then back on the new pallet.

less than an hour and we fed him and talked for a while. i asked him if he'd help out on replacing the garden fence sometime this fall or next spring (it's been the wrong kind of fence since it was put in 20something years ago and now it is falling down and has some large gaps along the bottom meaning bunnies and groundhogs are having a too easy time getting in) sounds possible so we'll see how that goes.
