Finally working!

Bill working on the sign and off his foot

May 24 – Today was a perfect weather day!  Sunny, no rain and we finally got to sit out and grill dinner! We also got to start doing some volunteer hours.  We were assigned to paint the yellow on the entrance sign, so we spent 2 hours working on that and then we came home for lunch.  Then we went to the visitor center and Bill opened all the windows and cleaned between the glass and the screens that were full of webs and mud daubers.  I worked out in the little building that houses the drink, snack and ice machines.  It was disgusting!  They left 101 ice bags in the freezer when they closed in the fall and some still had some water in them so it was all musty inside in addition to bird poop on the outside and so much debris.  I used ½ roll of paper towels cleaning the ice machine but didn’t start on the others.  I swept down the walls as high as I could reach and swept it out as best I could.  Think I’m going to try a blower on it tomorrow.  We spent 2 hours working this afternoon.  The plan is to finish the sign tomorrow, so we’re hoping for more good weather.

And then he cleaned windows

We chatted with our neighbors on both sides this evening.  One will be leaving the first of the month so we’ll get new neighbors next week.  Our other neighbors cut our grass and weed whacked for us.  Then Bill and I put out the awning and our chairs and relaxed a while.  It was a pretty perfect day!
