Day One Hundred Sixty Six 2011

All things being equal, the saying goes, so I guess it's no surprise that after such a gorgeous day yesterday we'd be bombarded with hail and lightning storms today. All day. I'm not sure if it's over yet. At least the plants got a good soaking.

Day One Hundred Sixty Five 2011

Spent a pleasant late spring afternoon with peeps at my mom's place out on the porch in the swing and rocking chairs, talking about weird dreams (think flaming skulls with helmets and swords) and laughing and eating Kit Kats and M&Ms and playing a neat game called The T Shirt Game (similar to Apples To Apples), then picking big fat cherries and slamming them into the pond scum. Now that's a fun time; I don't care who you are. Love ya, Peeps!

Day One Hundred Sixty Four 2011

Hubby Neil is putting up tin ceiling tiles in the living room. Slow process. 14 up, 85 to go. Every time he fires that nail gun, I feel like I've been shot. Makes me jump every time. Long way to go. One day I'll show you the finished product.

Day One Hundred Sixty Three 2011

This is what you get when you try to take a picture of a hydrangea bush in no light with no tripod and a slow shutter speed. My blurry pic looks kind of impressionistic (is that a word?). After Neil cut down the tree it had been trying to grow under, it finally got some sunlight and is growing up and blooming like crazy. Maybe I'll take another picture of it sometime. In the daylight.

Day One Hundred Sixty Two 2011

My hubby Neil was sitting there holding one of the tin ceiling tiles soon to be installed I hope. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "Contemplating." And I thought he was asleep. He's trying to figure the best way of going about laying this tile ceiling. The position of that first tile is crucial to how the rest of it goes up there. He's good at stuff like this and will make it look great. Stay tuned.
