Dan's Ramblings

Sunday evening out by the fire. 

Had a substantial shower just after I finished grilling the burgers. Excellent timing. I had already started the fire and was able to rekindle it and dry off my seat. I sit on a cushion anyway and not on the seat of my chair. That is only bad if I forgot to bring it inside the night before and it rained. You can count on that part this year, it will rain.  

The clouds during the sunset looked cool, I see a dog, you?

A Very Busy Weekend

First of all....

Arrgh!  My Facebook account has been hacked and disabled.  A couple of people have said they sent ID info to FB and a few weeks later they were back in.  I did that but it tells you nothing.  So I know nothing.  So frustrating!

Last Thursday my Florida sister, Tam, and her significant other, John, arrived for a long weekend visit.  Of course it rained all day Friday.

Niece Kelsi and hubby Luke treated us all to a lobster and scallop feed Saturday night.  We just about sat down to eat and this is what the clouds looked like over the pond.

Thursday evening. Not too much happening here on the pond. I have been playing with my wood piles and bringing wood down to the wood box. Something to do I guess. If I collect the wood I need to burn it or I would create too many wood piles. I met with the neighbor and we talked about splitting some wood, you know, one for me, one for you type thing. Sounds like fun to me.

There is one thing about the current weather situation, we have no beach. We are still at the level of where we could be at ice out most years. Scary to think about when you look at the Farmer’s Almanac. They are calling for an early snow lasting until late April snows. It may make for an interesting spring.

Not Much Happening

Grandson Evan and I saw this when we were out walking the other day.

No.No.No.

I love fall BUT after we have had summer!  The weather this summer is depressing.  Our beach, which is usually about twenty feet or more, is less than ten feet and getting smaller with every rain storm.  And the rain just doesn't quit. ugh.

Sunday evening. Real nice day today, it could have been a wee bit warmer, but at least it wasn’t raining. A lazy day, I brought two loads down to the woodbox and did a little weeding. Oh and I took a nap. That about summed up my day. I did have a fire this evening after the wind finally died down. The upcoming forecast does not look that great unless you like cool temperatures and rain. Not my favorite weather format. I guess what it is.

The surprise Eli quilt has been gifted. If you remember this was a quilt that was requested for a friend of Granddaughter Kailey who will be spending the upcoming school year in Germany. As mentioned in an earlier blog, the friends picked out fabric and I was requested to design a quilt around the fabric choices. 

The Weekend

Happy August 1st!

This cooler air with no humidity is wonderful, isn't it?  I opened windows for the first time in weeks yesterday to let some of that air flow through.  I also washed some of them too.

Vanessa and grands came over last Friday.  We swam, noodled, had lunch at the picnic table and sat under the awning on the patio.  Didn't take one picture but it was a good day.

Saturday morning we attended the Green and Mirror Pond Association meeting and did pretty much nothing the rest of the day.  

Grandson Evan made us pizza for supper.

He was the pizza maker at his high school job.
