Dirt Day 5-24-2010

    Well, dip me in dirt, I managed to completely miss another week last week didn't I!!!! I could list off a bunch of excuses, but what would be the point? Below you can see what is left of the clay that was in the blue tub, not much~ it only took a few good thunderstorms to wash it away, the before picture is on flickr, you can click on the flickr link to go there, if interested.

   I can't believe I missed doing any work on the house last week, and now it is so hot I am sure I will not be able to get much done, but I can't give up, and I won't give up, but this am I worked on trying to put the swing set together and that didn't go too well. I finally quit on that, and was going to plaster, but the mixer needs some new parts, I am sure I won't be able to order them, so will have to get some help to take it apart and go to that bolt and screw company in Russellville to see if they could fix me up with some bushing or something that would work, but I could end up replacing the whole assembly, so, have to mix plaster by hand until all of that happens, and that is bad, really bad, took me hours to mix a small load, the sun was just beating down on me and sucking my energy right out of me, it is really hard getting old, I remember only two years ago I could hold up to it a lot better, but, being inactive last summer is probably what did me in, I am a firm believer in keeping your old bones moving, I am sure if you don't you will loose your muscle and strength, and I now have proof... DUH. I can't tell you how many times I have told my friends to keep moving their bodies, I am so bad about not following my own advice! DOUBLE DUH! So, today I put on a small load of plaster around the inside of the pantry door, tomorrow I will do better, and that will be the last day this week I will be able to work on the house, dag-nab-it. So, God bless you all, and will blog again tomorrow. Ozarkmoma
