~A Beautiful Day~ :-)

Really nice day out there today. A great Saturday to work
in the yard and just be outside.. I have both doors open
and a wonderful breeze goes right through this place, I
bet with these ceiling fans I wont need air conditioning
at all this summer... that means my electric wont be high
at all I don't think ceiling fans pull more than central
air...but I don't know for sure, I hope that's true ! :-)

Carl and Joyce came and cut the grass, they do theirs
and the twin ladys across the street and mine, well the
people next door too.. since its all one property. Usually
Carl uses the weed eater and Joyce rides the lawn mower.
Carl was out by the hanging impatients and Penny has
planted one of the morning glories out there so she went
out and pointed that out to him, which he had already
seen and avoided, Its doing really good too.. It will be
so pretty when it climbs that white post out there. I
talked to Donnie and he steady goes to the stores getting
lumber and stuff so hes going to look for one of those
plastic birdbaths that you fill the base with sand or dirt,
even rocks.. anything to make it heavy, but they work good
and don't look bad outside either.. not as nice as cement
one but as long as the birds like it whether I do or not
doesn't matter :-) I aint swimmin in it :-) I take my bird
baths in the bathroom :-)

Which is what I do, especially here. This bathroom is NOT
the biggest, in fact its the smallest one ive had, even in the
little house it had a huge bathroom and the apartment had
a roll in one, which was excellent, I miss that.. The one here,
the tub is very small as well and for me to do the shower
routine is VERY hard, so once a week is about all I can do
of the showers.. I fill the bathroom sink a few times and
take a chair bath I guess you would say, which I call them
bird baths :-) Keeps me clean and that's the main thing.
Well its not like I get really dirty or smelly just sitting
here, and I don't work up a sweat doing anything very
strenuous :-) A good bird bath can keep you as clean as
a shower I think.. and its easier.. not the hair washing
part though.. that's when I have NO choice but to use
the tub.

My hair is almost to my waist now and I honestly have
seriously thought about getting it cut.. Would be a lot
easier to take care of and my arms wouldn't give out
when it takes me forever to comb and fix it.. I have
to stop so many times.. I just have always liked long
hair. My sis has hers very short and I look at hers and
am so tempted.. If mine was shorter it would be curly
and wavy, all naturally curly hair.. I just like it long :-)
But one of these days I might get a wild hair and cut
it.. :-)

Time to cut away from this post and get something
done for today, what I don't know and then again I may
do nothing but sit in the door way and enjoy the day...
So.. this DOING NOTHING GORGEOUS WEEBLE
hopes you have a great week end :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and THanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you Friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...
