It's Friday Again!

The week just flew by. We had rain on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so didn't do much at all besides watch tv and read. Yesterday I got a bit more staining done on the greenhouse and now have only 3 more panels to complete. Today we left work an hour early and Andrew took advantage and is reading outside on the hammock. The weather is absolutely gorgeous today. I wish it was Saturday because the sun and breeze are perfect for sailing. We got a call from the marina this afternoon and they have fixed the fuel line and the motor is working now. Nice service from them, we didn't need to do a thing (except pay the bill of course!). Tomorrow's weather forecast is for no wind at all, so it will probably be a yard work day. Tomorrow night is the big homecoming football game: we play Georgia Tech and we are getting national coverage on ESPN. I hope we win! Sunday (the forecast is 40% rain right now) we plan to go visit the sailboat and work on some maintenance issues. After last weekend's drama we really need to spend some effort and take care of some things so our sailing is safer and so we are better prepared. First up is replacing the mainsheet block and cam cleat - it has already busted on us once while we were sailing and now the cam cleat isn't holding the mainsheet very well. I would also like to have some spare parts on board to help us deal with emergencies better. Below is a photo of my first camellia bloom this season - this one is a camellia sasanqua 'Cleopatra'. The other photo is of my one oakleaf hydrangea. Its fall color is brilliant and I will definitely be getting more of these since they are drought tolerant and require no maintenance at all.
