Warming up later today -- warm enough that I hope I can mow at least the front yard -- but more rain is expected tomorrow. Then it's going to turn colder. (It's only 40 degrees right now!). It will be the first mow of the season and the first few are always the worst....

sunset #24 of 52 – almost 1/2 way
I know... I know... I'm obsessed with horizons. Sunsets aren't so bad in Indiana either... Busy week ahead. If the contractor shows up when he's supposed to on Wednesday, this week is going to be rough. And I'm already dreading the upcoming weekend when Coco and Ben...
sunset #23 of 52 post birthday
Cold day yesterday and colder today. Sheesh... I'm sick of this winter. It will officially be spring in 2 short days and feels like it could just as easily be Christmas instead. 🙁 The evening sky was ASNutiful last night -- proof it doesn't have to be warm to have a...
a panoramic view of work
Playing around while outside yesterday afternoon, I took a panoramic photo... What I see is work. Stacking wood and cleaning up around the boiler and repainting about 10 miles of decking. Warm up already! Those jobs are definitely going to be left until warm...
sunset #22 of 52 and random musings…
I'd almost forgotten about capturing a sunset until I looked out the window to see a glowing sky. It sure was pretty in rural Indiana this evening... I'll be 100 before you know it! A couple days ago I mentioned a classmate retiring. The very next day, another of my...

Another classmate of mine retired yesterday... letting everyone on FB know a cruise was booked and a camper purchased. Part of my brain has contemplated retiring. Another part thinks I'll be sitting here doing what I do for the next 10-15 years. I figure I'll work at...
thinking about paint before trim – and #21 a few days early
My contractor didn't give me an exact start date. He merely said he would begin in "weeks" and not "months." Besides covering up the lovely spray foam insulation in the room downstairs, he'll be completing all the trim work upstairs. Wouldn't it be easier to paint...
sunset #20 of 52 – and other cool things incoming
I finally got a sunset photo to share -- and I took it with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max. Pretty happy with the quality AND with God's work this evening... Pool and hot tub incoming! Pretty excited... we should have our new hot tub delivered yet this week. Barely room on...
my favorite brother visited the barndo
My favorite brother visited the barndo for the first time a couple days ago. He was amazed at how different the inside is from the outside and was surprised by the square footage of living space. I believe those statements were truthful. But then, he lavished Barndo...
