Honey Chain

there have been many times over the last two years when i have asked of the po’s “are you kidding me?” followed by a trail of expletives. today was one of those days. the windows on my house are sorely in need of some tlc and restoration, which i am getting closer and closer to being able to do (there is a real lack of info and parts for steel casement windows out there). i was cursing the po’s earlier this year when i was trying to get some/any of the windows to open. i mean, how hard would it have been to…okay, i’ll stop right there. now, one of the kitchen windows i had gotten to open wouldn’t close all the way. i went outside and made sure the ivy wasn’t getting in the way. it still wouldn’t close. so, i decided to take off the screen and see what i could do from the inside. one of the few maintenance type things the po’s did was paint stuff, weird stuff like the window operators and the screens. when they painted the screens they painted them in place. “#%&**!@$&##!!!!” this is what could probably be heard in my driveway as i jiggled and pried the screen off the window. i finally got it loose and the window closed, but why? why? why did they do that? why were they such messy painters? why were they so concerned with painting things like the screens and window operators, but when it came to cleaning up a rusty spot and painting that no go?

on a more positive note, in the spring i planted cosmos seeds. even though they are very late they have finally bloomed

i have been putting off doing the mowing again and boy am i glad. if i had mowed, i would never have found out that one of the marigolds from the border had moved house.
