I thought that just maybe the weather forcast would be wrong today and I would wake up to birds singing, sun shining and wondering how I was going to spend a lovely summer day. Nope....it didn't happen. Forcast was right on the button. Dreary, grey clouds and intermittent rain. As much as I try to embrace our liquid sunshine, I'm really getting tired of it. We are trying to get our yard in ship shape for an upcoming garden tour and the weather just isn't cooperating. You can't paint in the rain. The rain usually doesn't stop Hank. He soldiers on like the mail man. Rain, sleet, snow........but really when it comes down to it the rain makes it impossible to paint outside. You don't want to waste the day so you have to look at what you can do. The playhouse needs a new roof and yesterday when we were looking for assorted sundries for DIY projects, we picked up some metal roofing just for a day like this. It's already almost 4:00 p.m. and he's been out there just about all day slaving away. I knew I had to get a picture of him on his sturdy ladder (not to be confused with the broken one that he still uses much to my dismay) putting the roofing on. He always makes me smile and I actually love this picture. Nothing assuming about it, it just tells it like it is. I'm sure some of my other summer daily pictures will include other garden prep. Well that's three days done and I'm already giving myself a pat on the back for still hanging in there. I know it doesn't seem much to someone who knows how to stick to a project, but for me, it's an accomplishment. Until tomorrow I bid you good bye and good weather.
