Okay, technically it is still spring but up here if you wait for official summer it's almost over when it gets here. I say today is summer because the last pile of snow in our yard has finally vanished. We had our first thunderstorm of the season 2 nights ago. There was one flash of lightning and a clap of thunder and it was over. It did rain for about 30 minutes and there was some pea sized hail in the rain. It made everything smell really good. You couldn't even smell the goat yard for a while.
Today is absolutely beautiful! It's about 60 degrees with just a slight breeze. Mary and I finished raking the front yard, mostly to get the winter's collection of dog poop up, and I did a little painting around the front door. I got 2 storm doors for our front door and downstairs door and after installing I could see how shabby the front door had become. It makes a big difference to be able to leave the doors open. Not only is the light better but the ventilation is much better.
I also got my digital to analog converter boxes yesterday. Since we can't get cable TV up here we only have access to over the air TV. February 17, 2009 is the cut off for analog TV and I only had one TV that was capable of receiving digital signals. I got my 2 government coupons and ordered the boxes from an online outfit. They work really good and were simple to setup.
Time to feed the goats and take the dogs for their afternoon walk.
