just news

Yesterday, I helped Mom with buying and setting up some deck furniture.  The rug and the fountain really did wonders for the whole look.  She'll have to wait till freeze time is over, after Memorial Day, to fill the fountain and plug it in, but it's really nice.  Full size (waist high) and simple, just water over a filial, plus not made of cement, but a lighter weight material, it makes a lovely pattering and gurgling.  Her table and chairs are Bistro style, and the chairs are all padded rattan, and they swivel and tilt.  Very comfy.  She was so excited, she broke out in hives!

Still lots to do here, as with the new venture, things have slid sideways fast.  McK and I plan to take a walk around the new property before school this morning.  So I'm off...and grateful life is working out.  The weather is going to be 70's-80's and sunny.

Oh yea, the bear came out of hibernation over the weekend and raided the dumpster big time.  His favorites this time are yogurt (licked clean) and refried beans.  Theory is that manure in the dumpster will deter bears, but that's been proven wrong.  Garbage truck comes this morning--better load our garbage in the truck and roar out there right now.  Guess I'll go for the walk in my pj's.
