Still Digging Out

Seems folks yearn for a new home, a new beginning, a time to start afresh. I've had someone ask to see pictures of the house. Yeah....it's not really a good time for pictures. I've been holding back on showing off my new home or inviting friends over. Here's why:

There are still a few boxes in the living room, some of which are blocking the front door entrance.

There are still some boxes and junk cluttering the bedroom.

And I haven't really gotten around to unpacking the thousands of books in the office.

I also have a friend (and you know who you are) who has pool envy. My dear friend, I want to help you overcome the sin of covetousness. These photos might help.

Even on days which are too cool for us to use the pool, there are always swimmers.

Look closely. They are good swimmers, but they cannot overcome the power of a strong filtration system. From what I've come to learn, snakes also enjoy a good swim and end up in the skimmers now and then.

And this little guy is lucky. I can pull him out and throw him into the lawn and he hops away. It's the other ones, bloated and lifeless, that I've had to pull out and toss in the burn pile that gross me out. It's really not the corpse that bothers me, it's the...well, never mind. If I tell you, you won't come to our house and swim in our pool.

Hope todays blog satisfies everyone's itch to move to a new home and get a fresh start. ;-)

Hugs,
