Pickin’ up the pace !!

Speed limit any speedRunningSpending time on the computer is relaxing after a busy morning. ~~ First, I “whacked” knee-high weeds; second, trimmed low hanging limbs. True story: I moved the picnic table closer to my container garden so “maintenance” could mow that front portion of my yard (and I wouldn’t have to weed whack). Then I was told there were too many low-hanging limbs and the mower driver was hitting the limbs. Always some excuse!! First they wouldn’t mow because I had “too much stuff” in my yard. I’m on my own!! Look at all the good exercise I get working in my yard; I’m not complaining. ~~ Yesterday a brief but hard rain storm. It filled my new large tub quickly. (Doesn’t that look better than a dozen or more dish pans, waste baskets, etc.??) I still plan to order a large rain barrel (when I get “a round tuit”). I did order a TV antenna. After successfully installing the WiFi antenna, I’ve been researching (on the Internet) long-range TV antennas. We are more than seventy miles from Houston so I can’t get “through-the-air” with antenna on the roof of my 5th-wheel trailer. I refuse to pay the exorbitant rate for Dish or Direct TV, and no cable here.  ~~ Square dancing tonight; more exercise.

    Order a barrel? I’m surprised you don’t have a DIY project in mind. I read a nice article about covering a 55 gallon drum found on the cheap by first wrapping it with chicken wire and then encouraging vines to grow and cover the barrel. Some interesting ideas here using food grade barrels: http://www.twotwentyone.net/2013/06/rain-barrel-how-to-harvesting-rainwater/

  2. Why users still use to read news papers when in this technological world everything
    is presented on net?
