Summer
I do believe summer has arrived.
I had an agenda for today.
By nine this morning, I was dressed to be outside, complete with my gardening shoes and gloves. By eleven I was back in the house, mission completion. Our original yard and what we call the Clark yard, the lot right east of us via a tax forfeit purchase, was clean of winter branches. The burning ring is full plus with many that Dennis will need to take the loppers to.
The grass is growing like wild fire. I do know my ole cowboy well enough that he will not pick up branches. He will not get off of the Sears rider to pick up branches. Once the mower is running, anything in his path is run over. Ah ha! Let’s hear it for the saving of the mower blades.
I was rather warm by the time I was done. It felt good to open the front door and let a breeze come in.
At this time of the mid afternoon, I have the last of the three kitchen towels done that have a cactus border embroidered onto them.
Here at 3:30, we are at 83 degrees out. The skies are cloudy. Too warm too fast spells the possibility of storms.
Dennis put the PVC downspouts on in preparation of more rains. He bought a new garden hose carrier for the south side of the house at Fleet farm. One of Brett’s fellows came by with tools so it is solid on the house. It now has a 100′ garden hose on it. The north side of the house has the cart reel hoses ready to use as well.
I say we have had a great day of local effort.
With that I take my leave. ♥
