After making progress on weight loss , doing things I have not done in years, I am so looking forward to this summer.

Yep! Summer is finally here. It was a cold spring but now the heat is upon us. Let's see! I split and stacked a winter supply of firewood last week. Dug a trench so my bottom lands could drain properly. My garden is doing well. I planted a row of kale and it is growing like weeds. I don't know what to do with the stuff. Wife is making smoothies with it. She is also making Zuppa Toscana Soup which is quite good. I am thinking about drying and vacuum packing the stuff. I can't wait until my cherry tomatoes are in. Should only be a week or two now. I use it in my chili. Had a new Water softener put in this week and fixed the refrigerator. Planted a few fruit trees that were on sale. We have the grandkids next week and my wife has a whole itinerary or places to go and things to do. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I fabricated a solar panel framework and installed it and put the solar panels in. So all I have left is installing the converters and wiring and it should be good to go.

We had a little rain last week. We had three and a half inches. Some of it came on heavy, so the water flooded over my bridge from end to end and dragged a bunch of small logs and wood and a small tree (roots and all) onto the bridge. I had to clean up that mess.
