Fence is Fixed

The room was dark when my eyes opened…

If you’re older… you know you might get up one or two times a night so you’re never sure what time it is. Well this morning was no different from all the other mornings I have woke up in a daze. I had to wander off to the bathroom to check the time…that is the closest clock to the bed…and saw that it was almost 7:00 am!

I wanted to get up earlier than that so I could get started on putting my fence back up. I don’t know if you read the post about the storm that blew through here the other day taking out my fence. Word has it that it took my neighbors boat and blew it down to the back of his place. The neighbor directly behind me said that the wind did not last more than 3 minutes but in that time it took out a lot of stuff…to include my back fence.

That is the only damaged that I surveyed upon my arrival yesterday. Well I should add that the new carpet on the patio was blown around some but not much else was damaged.

OK that being said I drank a quick cup of coffee and then headed out to my shop to gather up some tools to get started on the repair. The fence had just been pulled away from the 4x4 post and was still intact. All I had to do was lift it back up and fasten it back to the post. This took all of about 45 minutes and then I was on to another chore.

Believe it or not weeds have grown up along the side of the barn and they were green! Can you believe that? The only water we have had around here has been the dew. I guess that is all a weed needs to survive. Once over them with the mower and back at them with the weed eater and that chore was also complete.

By this time the mercury had crept up the tube to about the 89 mark. I could feel the sweat starting to bead up on my forehead. Time to coast now inside under the AC. I felt good about the fact that I had got as much done as I had in a short period of time. I am sure that tomorrow morning I will have to complete some other chores that Sherri will think up…
