Actually the only thing blue about it is that there are not enough hours in the day to get the stuff done that I want and need to get done.  One of them being on here and being a good buddy to my buddies that are always so good to me.  I promise things will slow down (I hope) and I can return to some sort of normal.  Thank you for all the booster notes while I’ve been away.

First, opening the pool is always a huge thing for the first week or so.  Every afternoon I have to come in and work on it, check the water and chemical levels and keep the algae from starting.  And of course there are always kinks.  We had a leak, now a major part of the pump is going out and while we have one to replace it, its gonna be a huge thing to do.  Plus now rain chances are going up (for the next 8 days!!) which means it will be green before its all said and done and there isnt much I can do about it.  And it will cool back down so no swimming.  I wonder why I even bother.

But on a good note, I have 18 pumpkin plants up and growing like crazy!  Thats 6 hills, 3 plants per hill.  I cant believe they all came up, normally that doesnt happen.  Guess the soil is very fertile this year.  And I put in 18 more hills yesterday.  That will be it until the end of July when I put in the mini’s…around another 15 hills then.  But if the rain keeps on it wont be a good crop again this year.  They need hot, dry nights to produce healthy fruit.

Dietwise, I guess its ok.  Could be better, could be worse. Clothes still fit the same so I guess thats good!  Been hitting Curves everyday except for the weekends and trust me, I have enough around here to keep me busy moving.  Summertime in the south is great but its exhausting!

So thats gonna be it for today.  I’ve got to go turn the pool off and take count of the Casper pumpkin hills.  Just now as I was typing about them I checked my list and only show I planted 4 hills but I really thought it was more than that.  Gotta keep up with it now or when they start running I will have no clue what to expect!

I hope everyone is doing good and enjoying their June.  See you guys soon!
