I’ve been known to do some really dumb things, Bill, but I figure most of us probably have that problem now and then, too. 😀

Yep. And there comes a time when you can’t find anybody else to blame your dumb mistakes on, either. DOH.

You are exactly right, Yvette! Trying to point the finger of blame at everyone else in sight doesn’t work in the long run. Might as well face facts right from the start, eh?
Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking a moment to say hello! Always good to see you! 😀 ❤

Even so, it’s probably better to accept the blame right from the start than to keep pointing fingers at others, right?

I usually find them, and I always add the name of the originator IF I can find it. This one was by Theodore Roosevelt, believe it or not, and boy did Teddy hit it on the nose!

We’re staining our deck today, so it’s a work day (before it gets hot). Then probably cocktails. 😀

There is NO “before it gets hot” going on in Florida now. It’s hot 24 hours a day. You get Hot, then Hotter, then Unbearably Hot, then Hell Has Boiled Over. And the peak temps are just now arriving, and will last through August, for sure. Possibly well into September.
If you haven’t guessed, I HATE the heat! Give me cold weather any day. I mean, I can put on extra clothes to get warm, but you can only get SO naked, and if that doesn’t cool you off, you’re outta luck.
Having said all of that, I don’t begrudge you a cooler climate. (Much.) 😂😂😂

That sounds awful, Marcia. My brother lives in N. Mexico where its also unbearable hot. Our temps are mild but forest fires is our worry. It seems there aren’t many places that are ideal these days.

It really is awful right now. We are still reclaiming our garden from Hurricane Irma’s devastation, and I’ve been trying to do a small 15/20 minute job outside each day, first thing in the morning, but it’s time to stop even that much until cooler weather sets in. Inside projects only now, until things cool off.
And yep. Places are kinda like people, in that none of them are perfect. You just have to take the bad with the good, sometimes. There are things I love about Florida, for sure, especially our rivers and wildlife, but the hot weather is NOT one of them.
On the other hand, winters are great! Perfect weather. Roses in bloom, gardens look beautiful, temps are wonderfully cool, but not generally cold. Yep, Florida winters are the best, and I’m sure looking forward to those beautiful days ahead.
Enjoy your newly stained deck!! 😀 ❤

My cousins used to live in Miami, and when I was a kid, we made a yearly migration from New England to Florida during the winters. It was beautiful and perfectly balmy compared to the snow we’d left behind. 🙂
