Late Night Quickie

Finally! the internet is on again after hours down and it is 11:20pm.  Time for bed.  But I want to show you a photo of the beautiful Bromeliad in bloom in my yard.  Only one is blooming right now and it is such a crazy flower.  

I did manage to find the can of roofing tar in my shed.  Boiled some water and poured it into a bucket and set the can of tar (not much left) into it so the tar will be warm & easy to spread.  I have a wooden ladder that gets me easily up to the porch roof and then I can get onto the main roof as well.  It has only a slight pitch so not very dangerous, but I am very careful anyway.  I had a good idea where the leaks were (you really can't tell from looking at the old patches up there) from counting the rafters and so forth.  I didn't do the whole roof yet, just where the leaks were, I think.  Glad I did it cuz it poured like mad later on for hours.  When the weather cools off a bit I will do the rest of the roof.

I need to weed-whack the whole yard.  All this rain has created quite a jungle.  Cleaned off my ceiling fans since it cooled off enough to shut them off for a while.  I'm glad I am on high ground  because a lot of this town floods with heavy rain.  

You can see how the water can remain in these leaves, can't you?  But such a nutty flower! Pink, red, yellow & purple!


Thinned out some files today while looking for paperwork.  Boring but necessary at times.

OK  gotta snooze   More later.
