It has been way to hot to turn on my computer, so I have not been posting here, as I would have liked. However, now the weather has turned, and it is downright chilly. I think it’s in the 80s. I can run my computer with reckless abandon and not worry about the heat it is putting into my apartment. Ha!

It has been hard to do anything that last few weeks because of the hot weather. Yet, I know I have kept busy. I simply can’t remember all I have been doing with myself.
Other than sweating, that is.

I shall share what I can recall in my old age.

The chicks are all grown up and now in the chicken coop. They are being put in their place by the crankier of the 2 old hens. She was actually getting pretty violent with them, so she spent a few days outside the coop. She did not like being separated from her buddy, and seems to have mellowed a bit. We will see if it lasts.

Michael humored me by replacing his poor mailbox post with a newer one. Instead of using a wooden post, he used an old tractor tire. It turned out quite nice, and I love it. He did almost all of the work, but I took a ton of pictures, which I hope to get and post here soon. Until then, a picture of the final product will have to do.

I had a fabulous time visiting my Friend in New York State. She owns a very old but beautiful house in Rochester. I was there for 4 days and helped her glaze windows and paint window frames. I love doing that sort of thing, so it was a fun way to spend my vacation. We had much catching up to do, and I think we managed to get a lot of it done. She showed me around, and I wandered the town myself and took pictures. I’ll get some of them posted here soon. Was simply waiting for a break in the weather.

I saw lightening bugs, and I must say that was the best treat! It was like watching white Christmas lights flying around. What an amazing little bug! I don’t know that I could date someone whose butt lit up, but I guess girl lightening bugs find that very attractive.

I know I have done much more since I last posted, but I can't think of what those things are. I'll post a few more updates here and try and play catch up as my brain starts to function again..
