Good Evening
Posted: Thu May 13, 2010 6:19 pmHello all. Since I have to get up and ready for work in the morning now that my summer job is here, I don't have time for "Morning Coffee". So thought I would post an evening thread.
Chilly rainy day here today. What happened to spring? I spent 4 hours out in the rain this mornng at work along with everybody else including the boss, raking, spreading dirt, seeding and laying matting over it all. We just had a new hard crushed stone pathway put down through our picnic area and our boss wanted to get the seed down so the rain could wet it. He was about ready to call it quits when the rain got a little persistent rather than have us getting all wet, but the rest of us wanted to keep going at it cause there wasn't muc left. Needless to say, we wre a bunch of rather wet, damp and chilly folks by the time we quit for lunch. Spent the rest of the day inside doing odd jobs. Trade off was boss told us we could go home an hour early. We like our boss very much and we knock ourselves out for him hence why we keep going. And he's right in there with us.
So now I have had dinner, fed my dogs, and am catching up with the days threads.
I know a lot of you in the NE are mournng the loss of plants, lilacs, etc., Don't feel bad. Same here. My lilacs have had it too and I think what apple blossoms I had are shot also. I didn't have many blossoms on those trees this spring. I think the crazy weather got the trees all messed up. And west of me here is the regions major cherry producing area. They are experiencing problems too. Oh well. Last year was a bumper crop. So tomorrow is back to the park for another day. Have a great evening everyone.
