Reprieve

Cat-NappingToday was a reprieve from the warmer temps and humidity.  It felt wonderful.  Today was a catch up day.  Now that Dennis’ tractor is finished, well, as of this morning it is.  There were four more decals in the box to be put on the tractor.  Why didn’t we catch that?  After we had the main decals pulled out of the box, Snuggles had made the box his home.  The four decals were the “caution” ones for the safe operating of the tractor. Yup, under the body of a cat napping we realized we had better finish up the job.  Those decals were important for anyone using the tractor.

After lunch we headed to the far east end of the acre and knew that the back garage needed a good cleaning from the winter and spring.  Lawnmowers drag in lots of grass clippings.  The convertible was taken out as well as anything else that was movable and I stood back while Dennis got the leaf blower going.  Talk about a whirl wind of . . . stuff flying in the air. 

Dennis’ main objective was to get the two-wheel trailer in the garage with the Cub mower on it, so he could work around the trailer painting the mower.  Dennis has decided on painting the mower red.  Good choice.  When all was said and done, everything fit back into the garage with plenty of painting room.  Dennis commented there was even enough room for another little tractor.  “What?  Did you say something Dennis, I missed that.”  As it is, there are a few tree limbs that need to be trimmed before Dennis is going to tackle more painting.

On a sidebar.  Yesterday I passed my pre-op physical for my cataract surgery that is coming up the first part of August.  All blood work was well within the suggested boundaries.  The EKG affirmed that my heart . . . yes Dennis, I do have one . . . is also in fine shape.

All in all today was a wonderful reprieve with all things that needed to be tidied up.
