This and That
April 20th, 2008I have been fairly busy the past few days. I had some old bikes restored and have been bike riding. I wish that I could say that it has been a blast! I remember as a kid riding from sun up to sun down. I am hoping that it improves my balance and strength for the horseback riding that I plan on doing soon. Also, I have reached a plateau in my weight loss and am hoping to burn a bunch of calories!
I got the skirting done around the duck house… I used some left over horse/deer fencing. I cut panels of it and put it on the ground around the duck house to try and keep the wild critters from digging under and up into the duck area. I put a bunch of rocks over the fencing material to blend it into the ground, to keep it from being torn up and away from the duck house and to keep from tripping on it…. but I bet that I still find a way to trip on it!
I got all of the Christmas decorations put away into the shed. I did get it all boxed up last New Year’s Day, but there has been so much snow, ice and, as that all melted, mud on the ground that it was hard to walk to the shed until that past couple of weeks.
There has been a smell in the boy’s bedroom the past week to 10 days. The boys and I have had our noses down in the carpet like bloodhounds and could not find the source…. I knew what the smell was - cat. I crawled on my stomach under the house…. all nice and dry. The other day I finally had the time to actually move the furniture away from the walls in the bedroom… aha! It was coming from the chair cubby under the desk! I got some great stuff for cat urine, soaked it down, steam cleaned it and it the smell is finally gone!
I have been concerned for a couple of my blogger buddies. They have had a very hard week. I have been sending them happy thoughts and hope that life starts to turn to good for them.
So, other than the damned wind is still blowing at 20mph through here, and that I miss the hell out of my husband, life is good and I am staying busy.
Till next time!

I know how tormenting it can be to smell a smell and not be able to find the source! Glad you got it all figured out and smelling good again.
