NEW MOWN HAY & DID IT EVER SMELL WONDERFUL THIS MORNING
For whatever reason I’m not sure but am always glad to see Monday morning roll around. It’s kind of a re-set and new start to the beginning of yet another week in one’s life. Of course the biggy here is that it isn’t the beginning of a work week and of course that is a big plus as well. Well for me it is anyway. So much nicer starting each day with just me making the decisions of what I’ll do or where I’ll go rather than having that decided for me by some employer. Don’t miss that working stuff at all except for maybe a little bit. I do think busy work days have a tendency to take one’s mind off oneself:))
Pheebs and I did get out for a walk in the Hullett Marsh but didn’t see much in the way of wildlife. Compared to these last bunch of weeks the marsh seemed very quiet. Nothing honking, quaking, splashing or chirping. Just quiet air. With dark clouds moving in from the Northwest we didn’t linger & were back home again before 10.
ALWAYS NICE SCENERY ALONG OUR COUNTRY ROADS
Completely re-arranged the bedroom/storage room already. When we first stood the last big cabinet up in the room Sunday we suddenly realized we had totally over estimated it’s size & had created an 800 pound Gorilla in the room. After a bit of scrambling today we found a better location for King Kong on a different wall. Made a few more changes in the sunroom as well.
OMG!! THIS BIG KING KONG CABINET ENDED UP BEING WAAAAAAY TO BIG FOR THE ROOM
ALTHOUGH NOT A BIG ROOM WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A BETTER LOCATION FOR IT ON A SHORTER SECTION OF WALL
NO PICTURES ON THE WALLS OR DRAPES ON THE WINDOWS YET
A FEW CHANGES IN THE SUNROOM SAW THAT WICKER STORAGE DRAWER ADDED IN THE CORNER
BOTH HORTON RECLINERS ARE NOW AT ONE END OF THE SUNROOM & IT IS THOSE RECLINERS WHICH TRAVEL WITH US IN THE MOTORHOME FOR THE WINTER
GOING TO LEAVE THAT GREEN MASKING TAPE ON THE FRAME IN CASE I DECIDE TO REPAINT THAT FURNACE DOOR AGAIN IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS
Unusual for our area but there have been a number of Bear sightings close by & close enough for us to re-think any walks on our Pine tree trail for awhile. Kelly said Pheebs chased something this morning that really upset her because her fur was all standing up. Kelly said whatever it was gave out 3 loud screeches like a big cat. It is possible we have a Bobcat in the area. Found out tonight a Bear has been spotted just a half mile west of us.
ALWAYS NICE WALKING IN THE MARSH
SPOTTED THIS EARLY MORNING ROUND TABLE MEETING OF STUMPS
Feels like I am kind of slipping into the Blogging dog days of summer already. It is becoming a stretch at times to motivate myself enough to publish a post some days yet I look forward to writing and posting photos each night. Always somewhat less interesting when one isn’t out traveling around seeing new sights and doing new things but it is what it is and so far so good so guess I’ll just keep plugging away till the Sun runs out of energy some day…………
GROANER’S CORNER:(( The police recently busted a man selling "secret formula" tablets he claimed gave eternal youth. When going through their files they noticed it was the fifth time he was caught for committing this same criminal medical fraud. He had earlier been arrested in 1794, 1856, 1928 and 1983.
I love your sun room, it's so cute and cozy. Be careful with those bears so close by - that's kind of scary! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the rooms. I was hoping to fine one of those cabinets with the wicker baskets for my spare room/ sitting room. You maybe have to take down the feeders if you really have a bear in the area. Hope he finds his way back to the forest.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a way for you to take a mini vacation from blogging and not throw people into a tizzy that something is wrong.You deserve a break. Maybe post a header you are blogging every other day for the summer? We are retired too and cannot imagine coming up with something interesting every day. Kelly has a real gift for organization. Can I borrow her?
ReplyDeleteLike you always enjoy mondays, a fresh start for a brand new week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have your inside work done for a while.
Now enjoy some more summertime...
That big blck cabinet is sure dominating the room. If you paint it white it'll be looking better. An 800 Pound Gorilla it is.
ReplyDeleteLike your new cabinets, so nice to have a place to put things where you can find them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the cabinet was bought to go right where it ended up - it's definitely a big 'un :-) Those two sure have a "bird's eye" view around them! Love the damsel flies, their colors are always so delicate.
ReplyDeleteThat cabinet was even colored like a gorilla. Hope you don't have to feed it too many bananas! :cD
ReplyDeleteCabinets fit well in its new spot:) I love your sunroom! What a beautiful spot:) Please keep Pheebs close to home:)
ReplyDeleteYou'd better buy bear bells for yourself and Pheebs!
ReplyDeleteI'd avoid the Bear Bells, if I were you, Al. I bought some once and, let me tell you, that bear put up one hell of a fight when I tried to put it on him!
ReplyDeletePat ;)
