Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Another nice day today. It started out in the 60's and went to about 90 with low humidity. It cooled off nicely at night.

I went to the Historical Society in Elkton and it was closed. It is only open on Monday. Most places like that are closed on Monday. Had I known, I would have gone yesterday. I couldn't find the library so went to Elk Landing. It is an historical place that was the center of shipping in the 1700's.It was founded by the colonial Swedes. There was no one around and is in the process of restoration. They had an herb garden with a couple butterfly bushes. They were filled with swallowtail butterflies. I took some photos and came on home.

I noticed the Mimosa tree in a neighbor's yard is also filled with swallowtail butterflies. I never saw so many. In Vineland, I would see one or two on the butterfly bush but mostly had tiny little white butterflies. They were only about a half inch across.

I worked on the front door. It needed some wood filler and tomorrow, I will put the weather stripping on and it should be good for the winter. I also filled a hole in the bedroom where a screw had worked loose and left a big hole.

I fixed one of my lamps. It was loose where the socket connected to the lamp. I was going to fix the touch on lamp but notices the kit had been opened and taped back together. I'll return it because I don't know if someone bought it and when it didn't work taped it up and took it back. It may be fine but I don't want to take the chance of it not working and then trying to explain that the package had been opened when I bought it.
