This and That

I guess last week got away from us as neither Dan or I had a chance to blog.  I spent last Monday at the hospital with daughter Erin as she was having surgery for a hernia repair.  She ended up spending the night with us and then we took her home to Rangeley Tuesday afternoon.

You guessed it, Thursday. The sun shines, it is windy and somewhat chilly. I’m ready for repeated days of spring weather, staying well above freezing EVERY night. Hopefully soon.

Not too much happening here on the pond. It’s been too windy to kayak. I did push the float out into the pond. The water is still pretty cold, I have no problem when I cool off my hardboiled eggs in the morning. The water out of the tap is plenty cold. That’s the thing about drawing your water out of the pond, you notice the change in the water temperature. Before too long we will begin to use less hot water in the shower as the pond warms up. I may even have to add ice cubes to help cool my eggs. Who ever imagined that such simple things become so noticeable as we age. Much like getting down on the floor to do something and then deciding there is a need to get back up again. Who would have thought that was one of those things I would now notice. I’m banking on the water staying cold enough for my eggs for a while. The need for ice cubes requires the need to get the ice machine out and make ice more often. I will say, my day to day difficulties and duties have changed a little over the last 40 years. Perhaps a good thing, perhaps not.

I almost made it outside for patio binding yesterday.  We washed off the chairs and end tables  so they would be clean enough for a quilt to lay up against as we had not done that since they were brought out of storage.  But it ended up being way too windy, I couldn't keep my hair out of my face and the thread kept getting tangled.  Oh well.  Of course, I could of come inside to bind but decided a nap sounded much better .

I did finish up the binding on 2025-28 last week.

Thursday evening. If anything happened over the last week I guessed I erred by not writing it down. The weather was cold, wet, windy, sunny and warm. Normal spring weather.

It must be getting warmer, at least a little. The beard went the other day along with getting a spring haircut before the black flies get here. I always hate getting a haircut when my neck is covered with bug bites. I also hate hairs blowing around so you think something, or someone, is in your hair.
