Sanity, of the sand & sea variety

{humming} somewhere… beyond the sea …

Under pressure…

Every summer weekend brings with it a l.o.n.g. list of chores. Daylight’s burning and all that. Some I’m not overly fond of (crawling around under the house, for one). Others I don’t mind.

Some, I utterly adore. Like pressure washing. There’s just something so satisfying about seeing what you’ve accomplished, even while you’re still in the middle of it.

Utterly.

If this kind of love is wrong, well, I’m okay with that 🙂

Impromptu Pruning

It was a little windy this afternoon. I got home to find this branch down. Which means an impromptu bit of low-key lumber jacking tomorrow.

It wasn’t planned, but that’s like the rest of life. Humming along, same old, and all of a sudden…you’re pulling on work grubbies, grabbing tools and getting after it. Sometimes, I think, the best outcomes are the unplanned ones. We’ll see how this one turns out.

Rhodies

The rhododendrons are starting to bloom. We have several *large* bushes. Well, trees, maybe? At any rate, I think one or two are older than me.

The best part, in my opinion, is that there happen to be several different type and color on the SW corner of the house. And they all bloom at different times.

The pink and pale are out. The bees are happy 🙂

            

The bright pink blooms will be out next. Can’t wait!! #gospring 🙂
