last nights super moon

I will say it has been a long time, I guess this blog has become a periodical....

Summer is in full force here in paradise; the summer solstice and super moon have hit us this week but the temperatures have been very mild so it really does not feel like summer.  I am sure that will change in the next few weeks.

Now lets see, what has happened in the last few months, nothing really, I live a very pleasant quiet but busy life.  Now if someone lives in the city or has a bunch of kids they may not think my life is all that busy but to me it seems very busy indeed.  Between work, home, volunteering and friends I have what feels like very little extra time. 

So what is extra time to me? Extra time is time to read, listen to Ted Talks, my new fav show, or just fart around and to do so with out guilt.  The “with out guilt” is the hard part.  I seldom turn the TV on just to watch something; usually I am just too tired to do anything except lie on the couch an “watch” TV of course that turns into a nap which gives me a bit more energy, which gets me thinking of the floor that needs to be swept, laundry that needs to be done, ect, ect….

Speaking of things that need done or taken care of, the garden is in.  It’s a little slow this year but I think it is going to do well; the tomatoes are looking good the potatoes are up and the beans are coming along.  I will have squash in another week or so.  Someone told me that his wife makes a sort of sauce with the extra zucchini and squash and then cans it, she then uses it to put into soup’s and such.  I always have too much zucchini and squash so I am going to try canning it this year.

I am still working on the camper…… I am not going to put any more money into it so I have been looking for scrap bead board or paneling to use for the “walls”.  I will be buying new trailer lights, I cant figure out how to fix the present set, they have been “fixed” before so I feel it will be better to just to replace them.  The canvas is a problem but I think I will just clean it as best I can and deal with it. 

I have purchased a solar panel kit and am in the process of making a solar generator…..

The barn still needs work and always will…..

The grass needs cutting and always will…..

The cabin needs maintenance and always will…..

I really love my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
