Good evening to everyone on the Front Porch on this Sunday July 26th, 2020.

There is a wall of water running of our roof. The heavy rains willing continue into the early morning. Climate change is giving us a full plate this Weekend. Hurricanes to draught to tornado's cutting a bath across the land. I fear we will see an increase in weather events in the years to come.

Looks good, actually have been dreaming of downsizing to condo or retirement home.

Gets old mowing, snowblowing, hauling firewood (can’t forget cutting, splitting, stacking and restacking).

Almost at stage of wanting a constant temperature at the flip of a switch.

3 Floors and 5 bedrooms for one person Is a little much. Have tossed and sold 1000 ft, sq of crap, only 3000 ft. Sq left to go.

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

@DaveMcK looks like a nice building. I have been looking at senior apartment buildings but because I still work and also draw social security I have too much income. Is this a place you're buying as opposed to renting? It has been tough trying to figure everything out at this later stage of life. What state is this where the building is located?

It’s not a mansion , just an oddly built old post and beam house 1880-ish, with a ballon framed first floor 1920?

Good farming year, brought electricity and indoor plumbing with the first floor addition, and a root cellar for heating.

We bought it for porch, closets, and bathroom being in the house, versus tacked on.🤣 or afterthought. And a big kitchen with dishwasher and w/d hookup.

Was going to say the barn attached but, sills were rotted so, that became a new 2 1/2 car attached garage, we get SNOW🤣.

Frankly if I had my druthers it would be 1000 ft. Square apartment, all on one floor. Less crap. Problem with tiny homes are their price is $80K, self built is $50K ,Know people who have done it, land is extra.😇

Time to play, rains coming.

@DaveMcK Good morning! You've certainly got all of the pictures rolling this morning. Love the MINIONS 😘. It looks like a beautiful morning here in Illinois. The weather is supposed to be a lot better this week with less humidity. My son & his family are headed for Gatlinburg, TN tomorrow morning so I won't have my support team around for about a week. I am seriously thinking about heading to West Virginia at the end of this month to visit a brother in Cincinnati and the other one in Morgantown, WV. I know I'll have to be super safe along the way but sure need to get out of town and see different scenery.

A picture that still puts a smile on my face to this day. Had this little guy for 16 years and had to say goodbye several years ago. My boy, Rodney. Aren't pets the best ♥

Have a good day everyone😎

@wvgirlforever , what a sweet picture of your boy Rodney. Sorry for your loss. But he reminds me of my dog Zippy whom I had as a child many, many moons ago. Yes, pets are the best and they make great family members too!

Hi, All,

Shopping is finished, eBay is finished, and if I go outside, I may be finished, too! WOW, Talk about the muggies. It feels like one step out the door takes the breath right from your lungs and wraps a warm blanket around your whole body at the same time. UGH!

Loving everyone's pet photos.

I don't have one of Licorice...guessing I didn't have a digital camera back then. You can probably figure out that he was all black (not "red" as my first graders thought) LOL. Whenever I asked a class what color they thought my car was when I told them his name, they would all say, "RED!"

So, I'm off to grab another cup of Joe...doesn't matter to me how hot it is, I can always drink coffee...hot or iced.

Stay safe in your travels or your stays at home.

Can't you just smell that?

Afternoon all on this Monday, have been busy playing with chain saws, just in case of Tropical Storm Isaias hitting.

Winds May play havoc on my trees, 20-30 mph no problem that’s a minor blizzard. 50-70 we could have problems, yep have heard a wide variety of wind speeds.

Rain shouldn’t be an issue, I hope. Back in ‘38 it was responsible for knocking down acres of trees, had to climb over and around those trees last Monday.

Hope all are preparing for excitement coming, and storm surges if any. Personally hoping for a Gloria type that fizzled out when ai lived in Western MA.

"Playing with chainsaws" sounds dangerous for both you and the trees. But I guess it's necessary. Hope you and everyone out there has been able to batten down your hatches and all. Storms and wind are so unpredictable. But hopefully, as it gets closer to land, it'll slow down to a crawl and the storm won't be as bad as anticipated. Be safe.

Hello, Everyone!

Wow! Isaias is affecting our weather today...wild and wooly! Several tornado warnings all around the Philly/NJ/DE areas. Flash flooding, wind, and heavy rain.

Hoping everyone is safe in more ways than one, and hoping we don't lose power.

As for me...time for more coffee!

It's raining...time for more coffee!
