A Week of Rest

All this next week the kids are out of school and I can sleep in till 9 or 10. To me that is the best part of vacation. I stay up late, and I like to sleep in late. the most wonderful part of being retired is being able to pick your own hours to sleep.

The weather report said we are in for rain for the next four days, so it will be a wonderful time to move baby plants around in my yard. I have little creeping phlox coming up all over the place, in the paths and in the ditch. Places where they will not survive, so I am going to dig them up and move them onto the bank above the creek. I like to work in the rain, a soft rain, it it refreshing and keep me cool. I can work up quite a sweat when I work in the yard. So the cool mist will be welcome. Of course if it comes down by the bucket, as if often does here in Georgia, I won't be working in the yard. But a gently rain, I love to work under.

Well I am off to bed. I watched a few movies and cooked dinner. I am leaving the dishes until in the morning. I ran out of energy. Tomorrow night I will go back down in the basement and work on sanding the walls getting rain to paint and paper. It is coming along, even if it is slow work. About two hours is the most I can do up on a ladder and then my legs begin to ache.

good night......
