Late June and early July

 6 30 Rain clouds in the distance. 

And work going on for the new office for the city. 

7 2  One picture kept on the few I took yesterday on our roam about. Had to turn around to take that one. Just could not resist that truck.

Hello 4 of July! Cloudy sky so not much to see looking up. . Did get Canon G16 out of the Wife's ride to see what pictures I took on our afternoon ride about. US 90 to LA 13 to LA 14 to LA 26 to LA 102. Wanted to check out the sugar cane fields near Kaplan. Lots of them in that area.

Course the rice is getting ripe.

7/5 Did do a little wine work with the newest batch of Watermelon wine

Wife did get one of the blankets finished for a friend in Lake Arthur and now off to see her sister and show her the work.

The shop freezer getting full. Lots of blackberries.

7/7 A friend asked me what all was in the goulash mix today. So, had to dig out the cans to see.

Cans

Sweet peas, Diced tomatoes, Sweet Potatoes, White chicken, Green beans, Baked Beans, Pinto beans, Smoked sausage, Beef chunks.

All in a pot on the stove and cooked. Now in the refrigerator

7/11 To Stines to purchase a little air conditioner for the Sewing room. Got a smaller one as that room hardly used any more by da Bride.

Getting everything to fit and seal was a near 1.5 hour job. But done deal and da bride loves it and the looks

7/12 One Chevy Traverse Washed and wiped down. Making 1 AC sweat much. LOL!

Next, load up the trailer and lawn mower and to Dee's for grass cutting.

Then < change sweaty shirt. LOL

Did see them clearing out a spot at the graveyard for a shed of some sort.

7/15 Wow Had to grin with memories when this picture popped up. 1962 in Hong Cong with a couple buddies. Can't remember their names.

Over a month catch up.

 The calendar I Made for June. The 17th was 57 years together. 

One Nissan Rogue washed and wiped down!

A bit of playing with Chocolate Milk wine. Added a touch of chocolate to the front bottles and shook them goodly. It will settle but a few shakes puts it back as seen.

Also a picture from yesterday afternoon when just could not resist shooting that cloud line. Just so amazing the things you see in the sky.

June 2 One yard weed eated and even along the street. And two ant hills poisoned.

Next, the walk behind lawnmower to outline and do places the riding mower can't do.

The sunflowers Brenda da Wife planted awhile back in the front yard coming alive big time.

Well Hello Wednesday the 4th day of June. Been a busy morning for sure.

Had to take a picture of the New Rocket Drive In set up.

June 5 Got my mile plus in at the graveyard and waved to the guys keeping the catholic section in shape.

Home and cleaned the windshield on the Rogue as was a bit dirty.

A bit of a chill then DA Bride askes " When do you plan on washing the carport?" Hmmmmmm how about right now, let's get 1/2 cleared out so I can put the new pressure washer to work.

June 7 And one Dee's yard mowed and a short visit with her. And da bride followed me there and back in her car. Ta Da.

Blew all the grass off the lawnmower and put it in it's place till time to do my yard. Ta Da. Now , chill time for sure.
