My husband told me he would like to plan a day trip where we can all go hiking as a family, I think that sounds like a great idea. He has some really nice lowa renegade hiking boots that he got for Christmas that he has been dying to break in. I can’t blame him, if I got something like that as a gift I would want to use it right away.

We like to get outdoors when the weather is not too cool and not too hot which is exactly what the weather has been lately. Well, it has been kind of crazy some days but that’s besides the point. Maybe we can go next weekend or weather permitting maybe even tomorrow. We don’t’ have anything else planned really and it could be a lot of fun.

Fresh Air

It sure got hot here quickly. It seems like just a couple of weeks ago the daily high temperatures were barely in the 60′s, but it has been in the 90′s for several days now. I guess that summer has truly arrived.

One nice thing about living here is the almost constant breeze. So even though it is very hot, I can open the windows and have a breeze carry the fresh air all through the house. I just make sure to keep the part of the windows not open covered with a shade or curtains to help keep the sunlight blocked and the rooms cool.

Winter’s Wrath

This is a brutally cold winter for me.   I don’t like cold weather at all. It takes a lot of effort for me to even leave the house when it is snowing and sleeting outside.  I won’t drive on snow and ice covered roads unless I have no other choice.

Really looking forward to getting this winter weather behind us and on to Spring.  I might even start tanning this weekend, just to keep my spirits up.

Well it’s starting to get cold.  I hate winter!  There is no life outside; everything is dead and freezing! I am a person of the sun!  I think I am going to move to the beach!

Snake

We have a new pet out in the front yard.  We have been invaded by a six foot black snake that has taken up residence in our front yard.  A couple of years ago we had another bigger black snake in the same spot in the yard.  I picked up the first one and it drug the ground on both ends.  It must of been eight feet long. This new one is smaller and it is not afraid of us at all.  It may of been a pet that was let go because it got too big or the kids lost interest.  I do not mind the snake… it eats moles and mice so it is welcome to our yard.
