My wife and I both spent maybe 6 hours out in the gardens doing all sorts of work. Plus I mowed the lawn and she did the weeds along the fence. It was over 80 today and VERY sunny. So we got a lot done but were both dead tired after that many hours. Well I showerd then when I came out Debbie was stretched out on the lawn chair. Buster was howling at someone walking their tiny terrier. So I sat at the patio tablwe with my coffe and relaxed a few as well. Was your Sunday as nice and just as busy?

We did a lot of laundry as well. especially the throw rugs and we dried them outdoors in the sunshine for that fresh scent as opposed to dryer smells.

I really can't spend that much time outdoors in the sun--my MS doesn't allow me to be in the humidity like it used too (although I need the vitamin D--what a contradictory disease!). I did bring in my luggage for my job and sorted through that indoors, spent a LOT of time on myLot yesterday, and brought the laundry upstairs from the basement. I also made a list of things to tackle today; I've started them (all indoors), but now it's sit around and wait. Glad to hear you and your wife got so much accomplished yesterday!

I had a friend that was actually allergic to the sun. her place was always closed off and dark. Bummer. Hope you enjoyed yourself still though. Thanks also.

Wow...allergic to the sun? I love the sun...unfortunately, my body does not! The only plus I see is that I'll wrinkle a lot less than the sun worshippers I know!

It was a good day for me. I did some writing work, not as much as I would have liked because I really needed to clean my house. Got the first floor done and mowed the yard, trimmed the snowball bush outside the back door--there were some little tendrils getting stuck in the screen door and I couldn't help but cringe, thinking of its discomfort that would be greater than giving it a "haircut".
The yard was done in stages due to my scoliosis but I had a good time in between and played with the dogs and started a documentary on Chet Atkins, a truly amazing guitarist and producer.
It's been a great day. I'm just sorry I didn't go to church and that my dad was out of town on Father's Day but it was to visit a dear friend celebrating a 90th birthday! I'm so glad he's having a good time!

You had some nice weather then you lucky thing, it did not rain here but it was cloudy and cold. I saw on the news this morning that Iowa has had some bad flooding I was really sad for them.
My sunday was a pretty good day, we (being me, hubby and 4 kids) went over to my Mum and Dads house and we had our tea with them. It was supposed to be a barbeque but the weather was too cold so we had it cooked in the oven instead and ate inside. But it was a great day and I got a birthday cake as it was my birthday the other day.

Very nice weather actually. And it is supposed to be this way all week. Still lower than normal tremps but sunny and warm enough though. I BBQ no matter the weather when I feel like it. I've BBQed in snow before.

I work a really mixed up schedule. I am on twelve hour shifts. It typically runs like this: mon,tues-days, wed,thurs-off, fri,sat,sun-nights, mon,tues-off, wed,thurs-days, fri,sat,sun-off. It really hinders any type of sleep schedule going from days to nights and back to days like that.

Got a whole lot done and there's still a whole lot more to do during the week as well. Gardening for me is non stop it seems.

Hello dear Grandpa Bob. You must have felt very tired by now, I think, because of the long busy Sunday. Today it is Monday here in my part and we are still working as usual. I am glad that I am not so busy as I used to now and I am enjoying more of myself. Have a good rest, Grandpa and Grandma Bob.

Sounds like you did have a busy day! I started my morning by going to church. I then went to Walmart to buy a shepherds hook for the hummingbird feeder that I bought to put by my dad's gravesite for Father's Day. I then stopped in to visit with my daughter for a little while, before I went to visit with my mom. She made the hummingbird feed and then we walked the shepherds hook and hummingbird feeder to the grave site. After that I was able to take some pictures and actually captured some hummingbirds. I'm going to try to add one of the better pics to this discussion and hopefully it turns out okay, we will see!

very nice thought to add the feeder like this. I love hummingbirds. I haven't seen any near me but at the farm up north there are lots. Glad you all had a great time as well. Thanks for the photo too. I liked it.

I spent a good part of the day out in the yard playing with the kids and helping my brother work on my car. It was in the low 90's and very sunny. After that we had some ribs and some brats for dinner. We just got done watching National Treasure 2 a few minutes ago.

Last weekend we had the grandsons and neighbor girl over. They had a blast playing in the sprinkler toy we have for times like this. They will be here again next weekend I think as well. Always a lot of fun having the grandsons over. next weekend they are spending the night as minnie and her hubby are going to a Star Wars exhibit early in the morning Sunday. So instead of waking us up, the boys will stay over Saturday night.

Happy Father's Day first! :)
I wish I could say I had a busy day but I didn't. I worked and it was very slow. I'm a bartender so I work on tips and a small hourly wage, I worked all night for about 15.00 in tips. Ughhhh! It was long and boring.

Hey,
Sounds like you had a busy one , but very rewarding! All my yard work was done little by little over the week. It was a pain trimming all the front bushes, but it looks much better now. Anyway, Sunday was an easy day. I had my dad over with the whole family . We had a cookout and then watched a movie . Much later in the day my brother and me went for a swim .
By the way I have a lawn chair like that too

I want to get some type of hedge or bushes for out front. but the city ordinance here is wierd. they have to be a minimum of 15 feet from city property. So I can't have them line the curb like I want. They would help keep the rabbits away. I have a few chairs like this. HAHAHA!

We had a short Sunday yesterday. It was Father's Day but it was so humid outside and the dang bugs were biting. We worked in our little garden for a little bit also and picked some leaf lettuce and some green onions to have with our spaghetti. We watched a movie and went to bed. We work nights, seven days per week so we didn't have much energy for alot of things.

Well, i finished "price of persia:sands of time" this sunday. I know,I know,you will think I wasted my sunday. But I bet I felt happier than what you did while trimming grass. :-). I was trying for it for 3 months. Now I also have time for lawn.
But but...I will need to grow some lawn first. :P
