I was editing some photos and came across this shot I was just about to trash and remembered taking it because it was a unique bike rack I found I Berlin Maryland on a visit there. Riding a bike is a lot of fun. Good exercise but a great way to see things.
We usually ride bikes at the beach and some at my friends bay home on Kent Island. But I don’t own my own bike yet and I think I’ll change that this year. When it warms some I think I’ll go pick one out. And maybe look at a bike rack for the car so I can take it with me.
Weather
Finally, a slight break from that frozen grip of winter. I think I’ll start to build our home and emergency preparedness in the coming two years. We are already going to upgrade our less than adequate attic insulation.
Our gutters and roof are in good shape but our doors and windows could use some work. WInds in this area seem to be more prevalent than in the past. So some trees that are in falling distance of the house on my property might get a trimming or removal. We have two beautiful oaks out front that have been struggling the last two years. At least I can save those for firewood.
I’m going to work on a few drainage issues also. Some neighbor made some changes that is causing excessive runoff into my lower back yard along the property line. I’ll get some stone and build the gully back up and make it so it won’t cause washouts like it does now.
Then it’s on to power issues later this year. I have a small generator but it’s not tied into our panel so our well pump won’t run without power which means in addition to lights we have no water. So it might be time to look into something beefier and tied in.
I could go on but I’m seeing more extremes in weather so I’m going to do our best to prepare.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy Sunday evening.
It’s almost dinnertime here so I’ll leave you with a family dining outside on a summer afternoon in Berlin Maryland. By the way if your there the Atlantic Hotel and Rayne’s Reef are great. I think we will pay this town another visit this year. Maybe their Peach Festival.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- I guess I’m getting older. Scammers are sending me more texts, emails and phone calls.
- Sleep is something your eyelids need.
- I have been a bit slack this month in keeping up with some of my favorite blogs.
- Spending time with family, is a good way to get my priorities right again.
