SUMMER OUT!

Well Summer's end is 3 weeks away if you measure it by the start of the school year. Technically summer ends September 21. Theoretically it ends the first day of school.

So... could someone please tell me what happened to June, July and August? I'm trying really hard not to blink anymore. Every time I do another month has come and gone and I seriously feel as if I'm trapped in some wierd twilight zone episode.

Progress report on outside projects:

A RETAINING WALL



John has thrown out his back. Lets look at this from a neandertal point of view shall we?

John works minimum 13 hour days. John is spent. John is exhausted. John thinks it's more like playtime when it comes to landscaping. John is fool. John should take a day off - rest tired body. John decides to work on landscaping instead. John is not liking pain in back. John decides to take the weekend off. John is smart at this moment. John will shortly loose this moment of "smartness", for now John is sleeping upright on the couch because that is how tired John is. Colleen will not wake John, John does not like it. John will not be happy. So Colleen feels sad to see John sleeping upright. But cannot do anything. This is how the John likes to sleep I think. John will not feel to great in the morning after sleeping upright. But John did not want to be disturbed.

THE WATERFALL BEGINS



And there's a long way to go

PLAY TIME



That's it.

The sumac has begun to chrimson. The "first sign of fall" trees have begun to yellow. Soon all the trees will be barron and the snow, sleet and cold will come. I cannot stop the turning of the season.

So with that I say... Summer... and Beaner.. Out!

Summer sure does go fast doesn't it?

At least John is doing something productive while he is turning his back to mush.

I on the other hand decided that falling off my bike and spraining ligiments in my hand is fun.

Hey Duckie! Long time no comment.

How'd you manage to fall off your bike?!

Biking with the girls, one of em kind of cut me off, I slammed on the breaks to avoid a catastrophic collision and the next thing I know, I, not my bike, am airborne. Witnesses said it was pretty graceful, but I totally screwed up the landing.

John needs to hang out with me and Zak for a weekend...we're pretty good and spreading our laziness around. I hope his back feels better-He's got that waterfall to finish and I need a deck built over in my neck of the woods...

ps-I'm thinking I should volunteer your place for my next Harry Potter party. We could your courtyard into the TriWizard Tournament!
