The weeds have all been defeated but I'm afraid now of a mass take-over since I got crazy with the quad and harrows the other day and broke up all the cement-like soil around the house! I'm hoping they need rain in order to grow, since we are in the middle of our summer draught that won't be happening for another month. So why did I seed grass?
Well week two went by without a hitch and week three is looking pretty good as well, presently we are house sitting for friends in the city, we're not used to all these luxuries; bath tub, satellite TV, air conditioning, no wind! Is this what heaven is like?
Our bodies have definitely become accustom to the +36 weather, both of us were freezing in the house with the a/c, Carolyn was wearing a sweater and I had to go outside to warm up several times.
The drywaller continues to mud away, today they arrived at 0600 hours to blow the insulation into the attic, what a difference that made heat-wise in the house; instead of 45 degrees it was a much cooler 35!
The drywaller will done the middle of next week, he wants to get it down asap since the heat is killing him, than the finishers can start the following Monday. Its looking like we might be in by mid-August (finger's are crossed).
The kids are still holidaying at the farm in Bow Island (at Carolyn's parents place) they are busy with swimming lessons in the morning at bible school in the afternoon. I was out on Monday afternoon to pickup some stuff and had supper with them, than today I was up early and rode my bike out to take in "Parent Participation Day" at swim lessons, what a lovely thing that was especially after my 2-hour ride in a 30 km/hr wind.
Carolyn has been working all week, I'm back to days starting tomorrow, we've both been so busy outside that we look like a couple of aboriginals.
I set up a Yahoo email account if anyone wants to drop us a line, baring in mind I'm only able to check it every couple of days or so, it is cjzimmer5@yahoo.ca.
Take care all and keep cool, I know we are living off the Ridge!
