Never Ending Peeling Sunburn

Two Saturday's ago I spent all day working out in the garden.  Originally I was only planning on being out there for a few hours, but I didn't go inside until around 6 p.m.  So, yes my skin got a little nuked.  Mostly my shoulders and then on my lower back where my shirt had ridden up and my shorts had ridden down.  The problem now is that my arms are peeling, and peeling, and peeling and I feel like I am the leaving a DNA trail everywhere I am going.  Sure, we generally do sluff off skin, etc. through out the day, but this makes me feel like a reptile who cannot seem to loose the skin fast enough.

So, once again here is another summer with a cool farmers tan :).  It may be the only sun the way things are going around here.  Yesterday morning I woke up to find snow on our grass.  What a pain!  It is June and we still haven't hit 70 degrees for a week solid yet.  I guess it is a blessing in disguise because the snow hasn't had a chance to melt too fast and come off the mountain causing "great flooding."

Our basement has already soaked up a bit of water.  Yet another summer project to work on.  However, we cannot start on this until it warms up a bit.  So, patience and greater perserverance is necessary once again.

Procrastination Halted

Last night a huge thunderstorm came through and it was fun to sit and listen to the hail, rain, and thunder rolling off the mountain. However, it was about 2 a.m. when all of this was happening and I wasn't asleep. Major insomnia last night....not good.

So, I was productive to some extent and I finished binding a quilt that I started a while back.

Almost One Month

Despite the dreary rain we are having I am working on my postitive outlook. Yesterday we had snow here at work and I was so sad about how anti-spring it was outside.

It is amazing how large events tend to roll together and make time move faster. For example, I have been married for almost one month, Bruce has a job here in town so I will actually see him on a regular basis, Davey may have a new job closer to us here in Utah which means more time with his family and having Amy around to be my pal, and Natalie is going back to school (in a couple months).

Change is a constant in life however it is not extremely easy for me to accept at times. Every Christmas gets a little less "traditional" and I miss sleeping over at Grandma's, having all the family at home, spending time eating carmel corn, watching all of our movies that we got as presents, and coloring in our new coloring books. I appreciate the new but my goal is to blend it with the old in a better fashion. Who knows how things will end up, but it is definitely interesting to be along for the ride.
