Birds Gotta Nest and Cats Gotta....Sink?


The ever helpful, considerate, and hopelessly cute Lola...this is one of her favorite sleeping places - wet or dry. She is waiting for me to get out of the shower so she can help with her next duty - laying down on the clothes that I'm going to wear that day. How lucky am I?


Today is virtual Friday since we have tomorrow off for the 4th. I'm looking forward to the long weekend to finish up the screen porch painting/rescreening and start on the arbor project. I've looked at some arbor plans and found one that very closely resembles the one I had in mind. It's got 2x2 posts on the corners and bracing connecting the corners, and 1x1 slatting everywhere else. I saw a few plans that called for 4x4 posts - but they also had benches built in which would be a bit over the top for the entryway (as if you'd get tired and have to sit after getting out of your car before making it the last 15 feet to the door - I hope it never comes to that)....maybe just right for the side yard by the vegetable garden. I'm sort of excited about it and hoping I may be able to at least get started on it this weekend.

Well you never know... you might get tired if you were carrying something heavy like your empty lunch pail or your paycheck.
