Finally Clear Skies

The clear skies really have a double meaning, both literal and figurative First, the literal. I stopped by the house I'll be living in come this Friday and picked up my mail. More on the house later. However, for one of the few days since I got here, the skies were clear, and as I drove east on Boyer to the house, I could see the mountains through the gap in the trees, and the snow on the mountains. It was a beautiful site, looking out at the Blue Mountains. Pretty neat. Whatever else you might see in Indiana or Minnesota, there just aren't sites like that.

I'm looking forward to moving this next Friday, 26 February. The house is going to be really nice and the updates the Crawfords (Debbie and Mike) are working on will make it really special. The bath is being totally re-done, with a new tub, new tile bath surround, new tile floor, it's going to be small but wonderful. The outside is going to be fabulous, though it is a very small space. The north fenceline is going to have three large raised planters where I can plant veggies and peppers. They will be fed by the same sprinkler system so all I will have to do is weed, fertilize, and harvest. The little bit of open area is going to get new sod, watered automatically by the sprinklers.

I'm also looking forward to getting my bicycles back, especially with the weather so moderate here. With the days around 50, I could be out riding, and I'm looking forward to that.

You know, you can always write or call me.
