May flowers bring April showers.
Really? ...
My landlines are still only working about 20% of the time. This has been going on for over a month. Twice Frontier has called me and told me it was fixed. Twice I have called them back and told them it wasn't true.
The latest word is that fixing it is going to require a "cable crew" and it could be as long as next week.
Since I have dialup, internet time is limited and frustrating.
Something from the kitchen ...
A notebook on the counter to write down what I'm eating. Yes, it's diet time again.
I am creating...
A remodeled barn. It's been cleaned out and has new windows and doors. It is going to be getting new siding, new roof, and a paint job.
I have a before picture which I'll post with an after picture when it's finished.
I am procrastinating ...
Visiting a building I own in Paw Paw to see what needs to be cleaned out (a lot!) so I can sell it before I move east to Kalamazoo.
Don't know the where or when of the move, but I'm getting prepared.
I am reading...
A Woman of Consequence by Anna Dean, a mystery set in 1806.
A pleasant book but it's not keeping me awake. Time for a trip to the library.
I am hearing...
WKZO Radio and construction noises from the barn. The roof shingles were supposed to be delivered two hours ago. Maybe they're lost?
Outdoors ...
It happens about once a decade. Consumer's Power came through the back three acres and thoroughly cleared out the area under the power lines. They're doing the entire neighborhood and this should cut down the number of power outages.
Something new for me ...
One of the nest boxes has newly hatched bluebirds. It's been chilly and/or wet, so I haven't left the box open long enough to take a picture or count them.
Giving thanks for ...
The two young men who stacked a cord of firewood that was suffocating my grass.
