I love my new windows

In our continuing effort to update our house we completed the replacement of new glass block windows in our master bath. We originally were going to replace the casement windows with casement windows but after seeing a brochure for the glass block we decided to use the blocks. And I love it! Steve will be getting the paint brush out again as we have decided to paint the woodwork not stain it.

Better time of year for new windows

Hot Peppers for Steve

I finally found what we think are TASTY HOT peppers. We have grown Habeneros peppers in the past and while they are hot they do not have much flavor. Many of the hot sauces that Steve likes contain the Scotch Bonnet peppers and I think these Carribean Reds may be similair. Stop by for salsa later this summer and let us know.

Chipmunks

"Chip and Dale" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks" all made us think of how cute chipmunks are. But the reality is that chipmunks are rodents! They reek havoc with the foundation of your home and they need to be removed from the home environment. I do have a heart cage that allows me to capture them and remove them to a more friendly environment. Here is my latest "buddy". He went to the country last night.

Friday and golf

Steve and Mike on Fathers Day

Today I played golf in Fostoria in a district tournament event with 3 of my Belmont friends. Steve and Mike are at Cedar Point taking a real vacation day. This is something Mike really wanted to do before he starts his new job. Steve hadn't been to Cedar Point in about 10 years and has a list of the new roller coasters he wants to ride. I would have joined them but Cedar Point tends to work better with even numbers. Maybe by next year AJ will be my ride companion. Can't believe we are heading into the fourth of July weekend. Belmont fireworks are Thursday night and we will be hosting the RCO party.

Beautiful Day lily

My friend Kathy has a green thumb and a knack for displaying her gardening skills. She called this week and wanted to show me a photo opportunity. This is a beautiful lily that is in her front yard. Unfortunately Kathy is in the hospital now with a serious infection so I sent her a copy of this picture to remind her of all of the beautiful things in her yard that are awaiting her return.

Some other pictures of Kathy's gardens.
