Zero % APR

So, I just spent the morning transferring money around so that all my credit card debt (minus a measly $300.00) is holding steady at 0%. I have a chunk due in Feb, more due in June and then more yet next October. Having debt is a bummer, but much less a bummer at 0%.

Now, I have to go worry about where to get the money to pay the money back.
Sigh. Does this mean I am an adult yet?

Can't Compete

With the news of Ed!!!!

Getting Decked Out

You are about to get it, steps and deck.
Stained that is.

Black is BACK!

A Leaf as Big as My Head

Yes, it is fall. Yes these are really leaves. I was trying to determine how to make a bathing suit out of them. But then I realized: They'd cover too much!

All Better

Yes, of course, anonymous is right, I should replace the sill. Better yet, I should replace the windows. But until the economy picks up or my husband wins the lottery, that's just NGH.
Not Gonna Happen.
So today I froze my fingers off and painted in wind on a tall and springy ladder.
I am not afraid of heights (like some mothers I know), it is just when I am all the way up there I get kind woozy and my painting isn't quite as good.

Anyway, the painting is done and the silicone will have to wait for another day.

When it Rains on Your Paint

Depressing when you scrape, sand, fill, sand and then paint and then it rains and ruins all.
Now to redo. Then continue. Backtracking is hard for us all.

The Mountain All Covered in Snow

Yesterday we were in the mountains and there was snow.
Today is is almost 70 degrees and I've got to get outside and hustle some yard work.

When I'm 64

Ruca shows us all how relaxing should be done!
Lets all take a bit of a lesson.

A Juggling Act

Back to the mainland today to tighten another house for the approaching season.

Furnaces, window plastic, etc.

The joys of New England!

Tooth of the Beast

Chris found this tooth on the beach today. He finds everything, we know.
So just what animal did this specimen come from?

He's scraping the tarter off as we speak.
