So much for painting and seam repair today. Scaffolding is cumbersome and heavy! I'm pooped. And I was a good helpmate, remaining as fearless as I could be, while up on the scaffolding up on the porch roof, helping hubby hang the gutter sections. I'll be happy if I can get this 2nd hat for the collection done today.

Tomorrow hubby has all the mowing and edging to get done, as he won't be able to do it for awhile, as his surgery is early Monday morning. There's also the porch roof to clean up and get all his supplies in off of.

Still Sweater Weather
It's been oddly cool here lately. It warms up some during the day, but mornings and evenings still need wool socks and sweaters. I keep thinking that with each hand washing of them, I can finally put them away until autumn, but no. Not that I mind terribly. It's better than the usual hot and humid, which is unbearable to work in, without AC.

It's the perfect temperature for getting these attics started on their clean-out, but I'm still waiting on my sinus infection to clear up. No point in risking it.

A hammock sure would be lovely - if only we had 2 non-pine trees to rig it up between. Nothing like sap and pine needles to take the joy out of a relaxing nap! Well, we *do* have some maples up front, but we give the drivers-by enough to gape at, with our work around here, without our lolling about in public view! Next house, next house, it's becoming a mantra - maybe in the next house we'll have (fill in the blank), but mainly - time to enjoy our home more, time to have fun, time to go places, and extra money that doesn't have kids, mortgages, bills or house repairs written all over it!) Sounds like the typical middle-aged gripe, except I'm not middle aged! Nope, not me, no way, unh, unh. I'm a baby boomer - we're never aging!
