the end of may

and finally its beginning to look and feel like summer...the temps are in the high 80's..low 90's and the humidity downright sucks...thats the part i hate....sweating ,,sticky and clammy feeling....Heat is so stifling that you can't stand to stay outside very long unless you are in the pool or on something moving that stirs the air a little...I have been in and out all day...hanging out clothes then decided to fill the animals watering troughs up which in reality are kiddie turtle sand boxes which make excellent water holders for the animals..they hold a lot and are big enough for the little pig to actually get in if she is hot,which i used to see my other pig do....then we had to refill the turtle box again because by the time the pig got out the water was muddy.too muddy to drink...
yesterday the pool was actually fit enough to swim in...although the water was too cold for me to put my big butt in but kids just dont care so the seven year old did manage to get in..his skin was cold to the touch when he finally did get out..Today was a little better ...The temperature was hot so the pool actually had to feel good...The neighbor kids were up and couldnt resist getting into the pool...so it was well used today..this weekend the city pools will open..i remember the days when i used to venture out to the pool and stay all day with the little one.no way would i put on a suit and do that again..the ol senior body aint just what it used to be...so i better keep it covered to not scare off anyone..those were the days.



ok...i am sitting here taking a break and watching the boob tube while giving my knee a break..i feel a knee replacement in the making...seems like now a day doesnt go by that the darn thing doesnt burn,creek, and pop when i am walking or trying to do something,,,but then again,,i guess if a knee replacement is all i have to worry about then i should be glad because i just found out that my girlfriend has lupus and she is younger then me,,She had to take the buyout at her job because she has it so bad..so i guess my knee problem is minor compared to some of the other problems that people have to encounter...



a perfect pool day






ok...I've sat here long enough to cool off and write a little post so i am off to clean on the kitchen.......later.............
