Finally Some Rain

Posted on 18th April 2012 in Environment, Home and Garden, weather

We have had the most wonderful weather for long now. Unfortunately the need for rain has been great, so great that there has been a lot of fires just over the mountain. Some days you can look out and ever so faintly see the smoke that is continuing to billow from all of the wild fires going on over there.

So to wake up to a nice steady rain is a good thing today. Usually the rain depresses me and makes many of my bones ache but today is a good day all the way around. The lawn and the garden sure could use a nice soaking right now. There has been talk of water restrictions being put in place all ready and it is only April for heaven’s sake.

Tick Season

Posted on 11th April 2012 in Health, weather

Just found two more ticks on my legs today, which is the fourth tick that I have had to pull off of my body in just the last week. I’m glad that I have been able to locate them quickly and have been able to get them all off with no problems. The last thing I need is to come down with Lymes disease, it’s some nasty stuff.

Bike Ride

Posted on 3rd April 2012 in Entertainment/Fun, Friends/Family, Life, weather

Last Saturday a group of my friends and I spent the day cruising the roads on our bikes. We had been planning this outing since last winter, and it finally came to fruition. There were about fifteen of us on our Harleys, and we all had our ladies riding behind. We rode for a few hours and stopped at a roadside diner for lunch, and then rode home again using a different route. It was a beautiful day for a ride, and we all had a great time. I hope we can do this again next summer too!

Hooray for spring

Posted on 21st March 2012 in Friends/Family, Health, Life, Opinion, weather

As I get older I appreciate spring a lot more than when I was young. I don’t really know why I was so unobservant as a kid, but it was only recently that I noticed just how many plants are blossoming and how pretty they are. I’m very grateful that I don’t have spring allergies; most of my other relatives do spend several weeks during the spring suffering with allergies, sneezing and blowing their noses. I don’t know why they won’t just go to the doctor and get allergy shots! Spring is too pretty to spend indoors hiding, don’t you agree?

Good Weather Is Speading Up Construction Schedules

Posted on 8th March 2012 in Entertainment/Fun, Opinion, Sports, weather, work

It looks like the park/playground down the road, that has been under construction for the last 7 or 8 months, but is ahead of schedule due to the extreme warm winter weather that we have been blessed with this year, is almost ready to be opened and enjoyed by so many kids, family and people of all ages, race and gender. They have really done a great job with the new landscaping, Picnic Tables, playground equipment, water fountains, Park Benches, rest rooms and various other items that has made this grand opening so exciting for so many people in the neighborhood.

They have even made a BMX bike trail for the kids to have a safe place to ride their bikes and to jump hills and fly off of  ramps, and all the other tricks that kids do today on their bikes. They even had some Bleachers put up for the parents and other spectators to sit on while the kids enjoy all that this new and improved neighborhood park has to offer us all now.

Their next project is expected to be a place for folks to bring their dogs and let them run and play, which has worked wonderfully in other areas and there is a great need for places such as this everywhere. So it’s all good.
