Help! My brain has gone on a hiatus without my permission. No seriously.....I can't seem to think for the life of me of anything witty or charming or exciting that has happened which is post worthy.

Hubby built me a three tiered flower box last week...this past week I spent shoveling gravel and dirt into it and then went plant shopping....the box is complete...and pictures will follow.....but boring....hubby built a concrete slab for our garbage and recycling and water hose....boring......we went down to the boat....hubby had to do some minor work...great..I cleaned...cool blue heron right on the dock camera ready...I thought...only to find my batteries went dead....missed the shot....boring......shovelled more topsoil to fill in holes on the lawn and planted more seed...been watering daily....boring.......

Back at work....doing same old same old....don't mean to trivialize what I do...but some days....boring......

Since I started this post a few days ago things have picked up around here. I have a full house. My brother, brother in law and nephew arrived on Tuesday. My brother is here as a respite. He just underwent surgery for the removal of one kidney due to cancer. He is skinnier than a rake and I am on a mission to put some weight on him. Supplement drinks and three square meals a day should help....I hope. Brother in law and nephew oh and their dog Cooper are here to go out fishing.

Last year brother in law spent a month with us fishing and helping out around here. He hasn't put down a fishing line yet, but he did manage to get 60 very large prawns which he cooked up to perfection as an appetizer last evening. I should have taken a picture of these prawns they were huge and delicious! Nephew is going home tomorrow only to return for a few days next week.

This afternoon two of my daughters arrive for the weekend. I am really looking forward to their visit, but more so to help balance the sexes. I am feeling a tad out numbered and overwhelmed by all the testosterone that is in the house right now I mean even the dogs are male!

I am hoping for good weather so we can get out and do something this weekend like getting out on the boat.

Have a great day all!
