04.01.2022 | So Tired Friday!

Day:  55-degrees  |  Night:  39-degrees
It's been a rough couple of days around here.  We hired a company to do some remediation on a couple of windows.  If you live in an old house like we do, you know the rest of the story.  Water damage, mold, cracks, etc.  They are finishing their work today and every night for the past three nights when they leave, we get to go to work.  I'm proud to say this old man finished the repairs to the walls and remediated the mold and one of the two rooms is almost finished with the final coat of paint.  Looks pretty good if I say so myself, but I am bone tired!  These are the days when I actually feel my age.  The bad knee and the bad hip start acting up something fierce.  At the end of the day though, I can still get it done.  It just takes a whole lot longer than it used to.  As Dory in "Finding Nemo" says, "Just keep swimming!"

If you've been outside you know that it is simply stunning this morning in Carondelet.  Sunny skies and cool temperatures but it's getting warmer!  After a few days of unending clouds and rain this is so welcome.  The garden loved the rain but my arthritis has been playing havoc.  Sunshine always makes this old man smile!  We will have that sunshine in abundance today.  Winds are out of the NW at 5 to 10 MPH.  Soak up some rays today.  Be kind to yourself.  Have that extra cup of coffee.  Enjoy your Friday Gardening Friends.
