Rain & Storms

This afternoon we had major storms. Several neighbors had trees broken. Of course my wonderful sweet gums with all their sweet gum balls are still there. My new empty rain barrel got filled today. When I got home it was running out of the overflow.

Rain Barrel

Today's project was to install a rain barrel. I'm not really "green" but with all of Carol's flowers and plants I thought this would be useful. MSD was offering these for sale as a way to help lessen the storm water and conserve water. I rerouted the gutter downspout to go to a 55 gallon barrel.

Aliner mods

Today I installed little plastic pieces at the corners that I didn't have. Maybe this will help our leak. We also got a screen room attachment for our awning. Two weeks ago the bugs were really bad so we decided to get the screen room.

Memorial Weekend

We don't have any real plans this weekend. Maybe we will just relax and sit on the patio.



I doubt that is all we will do.

Aliner Converter

I didn't wait for the weekend. I installed the new converter tonight. It wasn't too bad.

This weekends project is to install a new converter in the Aliner.

We will see how that goes.

Topsy Turvy Upside Down Planter

Have you seen these? We will have so many tomatoes we won't know what to do with them.

Mother's Day

This afternoon the boys came over and fixed dinner. Kevin made chicken with a sauce of lemon, cream, white wine and butter. Craig made pasta, imagine that. It was all good.

Tonight we played games. Apples to Apples, a new game for us. It was fun.
