The weather forecast for this entire weekend is Hot Hot Hot. The temperature will be at least 100 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Then when you add humidity to the air, the temperature will feel more like 106 – 110 degrees.
This is too hot for me to do anything outdoors unless I really have to. The yard needs mowing and weed whacking, but I’ll have to do that very early in the morning or wait another day or two. The problem with cutting grass early is that it not only disturbs the neighbors but the dew on the grass makes the cut uneven and clogs the mower.
Well we did have a weekend to ourselves and on Sunday morning, we always play some type of gospel music unless it offends any of our guests. This Sunday, we decided was a perfect Sunday to hear Elvis sing gospel. This is one of my favorites because you can see the pure joy in his face and hear it in his voice as he sings for fun with JD Sumner and the Stamps quartet. Thank goodness for youtube so I could share this with you.
Running a business like a Bed and Breakfast is pure pleasure for me but as the times have been tighter lately, then I have really started using discount coupons. I have always been a penny pincher but now I find myself pinching even more.
With a business like mind, there’s always something I’m wanting to buy for the different rooms like grandfather clocks for the old fashioned rooms and the entrance hall. Would you believe that I even found Grandfather clock discount coupons? Well I did and also found some great savings with them. Now I can buy more than I thought I would be able to.
Most all of my advertisement for my Bed and Breakfast has come from word of mouth. One of the college students that worked for me through the summer and part time after they go back to college has offered to build me a web site about my place. I told them to shoot out some ideas at me and I would let them know.
The more I think of it, the better I like the idea. It could bring in more business and is a good way of getting my place better known in the whole cyber-space instead of just in this area and by word of mouth. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
Boy did we get a late start on the vegetable garden this year. First of all it rained and rained and rained. You can’t get into a garden with it’s as wet as ours has been lately. Then when it finally got dry enough to plow and get ready to plant, we had a heck of a time finding plants and seeds.
I am guessing that because of the economy, more and more people are planting gardens this year. That has to be what it was since there’s usually plenty of plants and seeds available most anywhere you go. We’ll keep looking for the seeds we haven’t found yet but if it’s much longer, they won’t grow very well because it’s be too late in the season to plant them.
