Good morning.

Morning Old Folks DH was a see bee in the Navy in Vietnam.
He builds great coops for me to praise him.

It's nice to have a handy man!
Mine -- before I came along -- had always been a renter and thusly never learned the fine art of any maintenance other than the tidiness the Navy taught him. Count your blessings!

Yes, my husband was so good at figuring things out and fixing them.

Rained. Poured in the front yard..not so much in the back.

We did get a few sprinkles in yard last night. Will still
need to water the garden tonight.
Brought the last cabbage from the garden so a small coleslaw with
burgers.

Almost 0 rain forecast for us here until mid October. Nearly a month away and we haven't had much in weeks now.

Dh hooked the wire back in, which the filter people didn't do,

I am SO sick of "professionals" that don't give a damn to do the job right.

I am SO sick of "professionals" that don't give a damn to do the job right.

Whenever I need to hire someone to come do work, I ask for referrals from friends and neighbors. I tell the person who answers the phone/schedules the appointment about the referral when I make the call. I also tell the worker that so-and-so recommended them. That way, if they have half a brain, they realize that my friend so-and-so will probably hear about the job they did.

Their reputation is going to be out there for me, my friend, and anyone either of us talk to.

Word of mouth advertising is worth gold if it's good. Very hard to get rid of if it's not.

And here I thought Alabama was always wet!

And here I thought Alabama was always wet!

Normally summer afternoon rains were common in the south east along the coasts. Not this last year. We had a frigid winter with temps much lower than normal and then summer heated up above normal. I guess that averages things out.
