Happy first day of summer and Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers out there.  Today will be the longest day of the year and from then on the days will slowly get shorter, Wha .  I hate it when the days get shorter and it gets darker sooner, so will have to enjoy it while it lasts.  Was driving home the other day from work and thought to myself, wow its still lite out and then it dawned on me that its almost June 21 and the longest day of the year, Woo Hoo!  Today was wash laundry and hang it out on the line day, and it was a great day for it.  Nice and warm and breezy all day .  Then got busy and did some more sapling pulling up and weeding and then washed the siding on one side of the house, argh, me aching neck, LOL and also cleaned out the gutters.  Tommorrow I'll be pulling up all the poison ivy that is out here.  Ha, I went and pulled up everything else and saved all the poison ivy for last so I can just throw the gloves away after messing with it.  Then maybe I'll get around to edging.  I've been thinking about putting in bricks for a new edging but have seen how people just dig like a channel and bring the mulch up to that.  That would be good but all the straight edges are going to be soft curves from now on since its just plain easier to keep up when mowing etc.  Happy First Day of Summer you Xangans  TTFN
