A Day for all Seasons...What a Day!

This morning was hot and humid; I think that by 0800 it was over eighty degrees out and when we got home from church it was just about ninety degrees and really muggy. Kathleen saw some roses that she wanted me to cut for the house so after I changed my clothes I went out and cut seven or eight pink roses for her.

For lunch she heated up the left-over chili and rice from last night for me and she had some rice with melted cheese on it for herself. After lunch I loaded the dishes into the dishwasher and then went upstairs and sorted out the laundry, brought it downstairs and washed, dried, folded and put away two loads.

Stan called while I was folding the first load and said that he would be over to install the hand rail and take away the first remodeling scraps and some other things that we had collected over the years. He and I loaded up his pickup with three quarters of a ton of mostly scrap wood. After taking away the junk he finished installing the hand rail so now we have a hand rail for our stairs for the first time in over six months.

After he left Kathleen cooked a chicken breast, some baked potatoes and an artichoke for dinner. There still was about half of the chicken breast left-over, half of the artichoke and a baked potato left-over, so we will have another meal out of it sometime next week.

This afternoon we had a series of thunder and lightning storms pass though the area and it really cooled the temperature down and made it a lot less muggy. Right now, about 2100 it is only seventy-eight degrees out whereas last night it was in the nineties so it is a much more pleasant night right now than yesterday.
