Rooms and Pools and Birds, Oh My


it's been almost a week since the last post, so i'll make sure to update more often. as usual, it's been pretty busy around the house and work, so i haven't really been able to take time out to blog. first, the pool is finally open, but of course, the weather has cooled off to normal June temps. opening the pool was a chore this year - it was nasty dirty, and the filter and pump didn't want to cooperate at first. after messing with everything for much longer than i had anticipated, all is well and the pool is ready to be used. not only are we excited to start using the pool for the season, but the dragonflies are also excited. they love to dive-bomb the pool and either drink the water or eat whatever microscopic thing that might be floating on the pool.

also last week, we had a few interesting birds visit our area - a goldfinch and a toddler robin. the goldfinch took a bath in the water at the end of our driveway and has been visiting a lot since last week. the robin was lost and hadn't learned how to fly yet, but its parents were able to guide it to safety.

the garage office is finally set up the way we want it. all that is left on the inside to do is finish with the AC/Heating unit installation (hopefully that will be soon because i'm sure more hot, humid weather is heading our way). we like the set up and are very pleased with how the office turned out.

now for some pics.
