Ah August .

Ah, August, you’re slipping thru our fingers.

With 7 days left, then it is SEPTEMBER and even while there are some hot days left…I think….. who knows after this summer weather. 

But we all know September means fall, comes cooler weather,  But not me, I hang on at this time of the year, with my fingers dug in, not letting summer go quite yet.

I love summer, but not the prep for hell type, like this year gave us.. in fact it seems like maybe the last 3 years  we have been practicing for hell…  AND I AM NOT GOING.. I flunk the course.

I like 70 to 80’s and don’t do well with 90’s and not 100 at all.. The past week has been just right. I got a lot of work done in the yard.. we weed whacked the dead garden with a living 3 foot weeds… that the heat seem to produced. I wrapped up some of the hoses.   Clean up the inside of my small garage.. and painted some OLD metal cabinets we ripped out of the kitchen a few years back. I took the small one and scrubbed it.  Then sanded the rust spots and painted it black… scrub up the chrome handles.  Maybe next week I will do the large one that held the sink..  Learning curve is DON’T BUY CHEAP PAINT.  The push button was a S.O.B. to keep pushed down so I could spray the paint. Had the King do one side for me to see if it was I was too weak.  And he had trouble too…   so it was the paint can, not me.

It was great to have the double back door open. Fresh air coming in.. First time in over 45 days we have not had the AC on… It was a great day.. And I look forward to hopefully 20 more days. 

So August don’t run away just yet.. linger a while longer for me, please…
