So Long as the Weather Permits Today, There Will Be Music

So far, so good. We had an early morning rain and now the sun is fighting its way through the clouds. Thursdays in my small borough are a fun day in the afternoon when everyone gathers to listen to a different live band each week. I always try to get my work, house chores, John's lunch packed, and...

We Will Hit 91 Degrees here In Pittsburgh Today

I have one wall to finish painting in the livingroom, and then we will install the wainscoting along with the trim. Since it's so hot today, I will be sticking to cold deli roast...

Moving Right Along to Painting and other Embellishments

After purchasing new furniture and tables this month, we decided to paint the upper half of one of our living room walls with a color that matches the new furniture.

Thankfully This Morning There Was Minimal Damages

Heavy winds blew through Pittsburgh last night. They were accompanied by rain and thunder boomers. Two sides of our property are surrounded by trees, so there were quite a few branches to clean up this morning. Other than that, our tomato and pepper plants were unscathed.

It's Going to Be A Seriously Iffy Day Here in Pittsburgh

I woke up to a hazy, cloudy sky, but now the sun has managed to break through the clouds. Thursdays during the summer here in my neighborhood means that there will be live music down in our town center, starting at 6:00 pm, but it is being threatened by the possibility of damaging winds and a...
