A Busy Day
It was a disappointment when Dennis’ daughter Sandy didn’t make it over for Easter.
Today worked out for Sandy and her and Tom. They really got a lot done for us older ones on Stauffer Avenue.
Tom brought his chainsaw and now all the dead lilacs have been cut down and piled out of the way to dry. Lilac wood is hard and will take a while to dry even if for all practical purposes they were beyond putting out a blossom. Dennis’ propane torch was used to take out the dried plume grass from last year. The plume grass grows and spreads like quack-grass. I don’t mind it as it is a pretty ground cover and puts out seeds that the birds enjoy during the fall days.
Dennis had grass seed that Tom spread in an area of the acre where there had been nothing of any good just a few short years ago.
Dennis now also has the Cub-Lo-Boy loaded on the implement trailer. That will be going out to Beckious. Charlie is along highway #4 north from St. James and always has various items for sale as well as his repair shop. This is a perfect time for the Cub with the belly-mount mower to have a for-sale sign on it. Dennis will call Charlie to find out when Charlie will be home to get the Cub unloaded.
Yes this has been a good day. Many items marked off of the to-do list.
From here Sandy and Tom were headed to Darfur as their fire department is having a Smelt feed at six.
We will be having something good for supper. As long as it is hot, Dennis will be content.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
