Lazy Monday

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies, temps near 80, and a light breeze.  Thomas and I did some outdoor work, and we walked all around the house and property, making notes of Spring/Summer home-improvement projects.  A long list, to be sure!

Uppermost on my list is to get rid of some boats! Yes, boats!

There are currently five in our back yard.  One is a canoe that we've had for years, and that we don't plan to get rid of; one is a 14' long Bass Boat that Thomas just got for a steal, and that we are looking forward to using; one is a john boat that Thomas will use to cross a particular creek on a particular piece of land where he hopes to deer hunt.  Those are the three that will stay.  But we also have two more bass boats that Thomas bought or was traded recently and that are on their way out.  One will be picked up by its new owner sometime this week, and it won't be soon enough.  The other is for sale and is being drooled over by several of Thomas' workmates.  Whichever one comes to him with the money first will get the boat.

Anyway, today is another lovely day, although it gets a little overcast off and on, and we have had a few light sprinkles.  The girls didn't wake up until noon, and I have sat here at this computer most of the day catching up with alerts.  I think I have finally done it.  I plan to stay on top of them for the rest of the week. 

I hope everyone has had a great start to the week, and that the weather where you are is superb!

You don't want to know how many canoes litter the backyard here (I think it's about 4, but could be 7...)

Hmm, a backyard full of 5 boats.  Not everybody has got that.  I can picture it.  I like hearing about people's experiences that I don't have, like owning boats.  We just never had any.  Not enough big lakes around to require them.  We've got lakes around here, but I came to Arizona too late to get boat fever.  Nor did I have any men in my life with boat fever.  Gerry
