Rain, Hail, and Rain Some More

We think Seattle's weather has moved to Denver.

This picture of Fritz wanting to go outside, sums up how we feel.

PLEASE SOMEONE - MAKE IT STOP RAINING!

This is one of the wettest years' I have experienced in Colorado.  

Unfortunately, this type of weather pattern also brings Hail.  :(

We hope this finds you someplace sunny and DRY !

Send a little our way, please!

Three Strikes and You're Out of Here!

Joanne's Ford Escape came up with some type of fuel system glitch that the mechanics could not figure out. 

So after several trips to the mechanic shop and leaving her stranded......it's out of here!!!

Being the practical person Joanne is, she went for better gas mileage, 4wd for bad weather commuting, and 7 year / 100,000 mile warranty.

Also, as you would expect, it didn't take long for Joanne to get a bike rack installed on her new Suzuki SX-4!

I think it looks very sporty......just like her!!!

Yard Projects

It is finally turning into summer and we are now juggling work, longer workouts, and land scaping projects.

Our summer goal for our home is to make a substantial change to the back yard.   It has a very large grass area that takes a lot of time to mow and a lot of cash to water.

We are going to make a smaller grass area, add more fruit trees, move flower beds, put in a raised vegtable garden bed, add some crushed stone walkways, et

The biggest obstacle for progress is that I struggle with how to lay things out and I wish I had Joanne's brother Pat's vision.  Pat's yard in Montana is beautiful!

One of the things that cracks me up ( and sometimes makes me want to swear or cry ) is that when you decide to put something some where, there will be an unforseen obstacle.

Happy Summer Projects to you all !
