Post #6,601: Back Yard is Done, Again

Back yard is mowed, raked, trimmed, bagged, and finished. Time for a shower, and cold beverages.

This pic was from July 1st, but today looks much the same, other than no cleaning supplies
on the BBQ shelter.

It Was Nice While It Lasted

Since winter arrived last October, we have been daydreaming about sitting out on the deck, enjoying coffee or whatever. It has seemed increasingly distant as our spring stretched out, cooler temps holding sway ... until today.

Today, we had glorious sunshine and blue skies. The temp climbed from 43 this morning to 61 while we worked in the yard, and then - this afternoon - it hit 66 lovely degrees. We sat out, we sipped beverages, we talked, we luxuriated in it.

It lasted for an hour.

The clouds rolled in, distant thunder began to rumble and echo through the mountains, and the breeze became a gusty wind.

And now? A steady rain, gusty winds, and 57 degrees.

But it sure was nice ... for a while.
