3/3/26

 I woke up early this morning and started working right away. With the good weather that was rolling in, I wanted to be done early enough to enjoy it.

Paul and Ethan got up at a leisurely pace. THEY had the day off! I was not jealous (I am lying). 

I want to be very clear that spring is my LEAST favorite season. I prefer the summer and fall instead of the spring. The rain, the mud and the damp, cold air just don’t thrill me.

Then Mother Nature throws in a teaser. She says “hey, hang in there, this temperature is coming soon.” That was today. She also throws in an abundance of wind knowing she has to pressure wash the stale winter air out of our house.

We know the drill. Windows open, blast the stinky cold air out with fresh, new and much warmer air.

Paul did lots of man chores. He has uncovered our camper. Woo hoo! Step one that camping season has started.

I went out to assess the condition and I am happy to report that we had no rodent activity! Win! I was able to wip things down, do a good spring cleaning. I still have to wash everything but I have a little time before the maiden voyage. 

Ethan spent time in the garage. He had the welder out. Sparks were flying. He does love to tinker. He was a sweaty mess with the heat. He had pants on and I said “why don’t you go put shorts on?”

“That’s not safe to do when I am welding.” He said. He has always been a cautious kid. Good point kid!

He would come inside and rest and rehydrate and then go back outside.

I did some walking in the driveway for my fitness. It was so pretty out. I could hear my favorite spring noise, the peepers. The dogs came out too. All the canines got their nails trimmed.

Thank you Mother Nature for the summer teaser. I think we all needed that. We will tolerate the much cooler damp air tomorrow knowing better weather is coming..
