Oh What a Beautiful Morning! Oh What a Beautiful Day!

Today is a repeat of yesterday and it's absolutely beautiful. It's hard to believe that yesterday morning I had the heat on but by evening we had to turn on the air conditioning. We have lots of sunny weather today and it's up in the 80's F which requires the a/c to continue to run. However, our beautiful weather will be short-lived as rain is coming and the temperatures will drop once again. I see many of my neighbors power washing their decks and bringing out the patio furniture that was put away for the winter. There's so much activity outside that it feels as if the neighborhood has come to life. I'm not putting my patio furniture out yet as my son and son in law want to power wash and then sand and restain my deck before the summer. It makes no sense to drag that stuff out only to be put back again when the job needs to be done. My deck really shouldn't need to be restained so soon as it's less than 5 years since it was done. The stain has totally peeled and it looks horrible. Last time I hired someone to do it but this time my guys said they could manage to get it done for me. After a quick trip to Sams Club earlier I have the rest of the day to relax and enjoy. Hopefully we can get to barbecue our dinner tonight while the weather is still nice. Wishing everyone a very Happy Saturday!

We have a windy cold grey day. The power was out for 3.5 hours this morning in advance if the coming ice storm...due to start in about an hour. Where is spring?

Can't believe that you're still getting horrible winter weather. Hope it doesn't amount to much

@Marilynda1225 the freezing rain is winding down. Now we expect heavy rains with possible flooding. I'm so done with winter,

I'm glad you're having some nicer days now. I can imagine the weather takes a huge toll on stains and varnishes.

After a few bad winters it did take a toll on my deck. It looks pretty horrible now with it all peeling.

Right now it's up to my son and son in law as to when they are both free to do it. I'm not rushing them since they are volunteers

The temperatures over the weekend felt more like summer than spring but I'm not complaining!

It's a beautiful day here, too! We even quizzed in some yard work. We had our deck sanded, stained, and sealed last year, and thank goodness it still looks great. We won't put the patio furniture out until May, just in case the weather turns yucky. Happy Saturday to you, too!!!!

I really didn't want to have to pay for the deck to be done so i was really happy when the boys volunteered. Now it's a waiting game for when they're both free
