A Busy Day
When we get up at 6:30 it is anyone’s guess as to how the day will go. I can share with you that by 10:30 we had the acre mowed and trimmed.
You could say we had the devil at our heels. Were we moving so fast that we were burning our tracks? No . . . it was actually the electric leaf blower that Dennis was using that was suffering a malfunction and the smoke began pouring out of the motor. Dennis sat it down and unplugged it from the inside of the garage. I don’t think it owed us anything as we bought it some twenty years ago.
Amazingly Dennis went out to Fleet and Farm and came home with a new Toro at $108.00. It is as light as a feather and using a battery. For what we need, it will work just fine.
When I am asked if I want to go for a drive, I know Dennis has an agenda. Off to Fairmont we went to purchase Krylon Crystal clear spray. The Cub Lo Boy is going to get a clear coat. Our favorite real life Google person told Dennis he needs to use the same brand with the clear coat as the paint he has used originally.
A neighbor came by this afternoon and she and I sat on the patio and chatted. Marsha had lived across the street from us until four years ago. Marsha remarried and moved out to the country and became a farmer. As a hobby she raises chickens. Her chickens lay the most beautiful green and brown eggs and Marsha has shared a dozen or so in times past. Dennis and I appreciate it to no end.
Marsha threw out a bargain . . . would I sew some chair cushion covers for her eight old fashioned metal lawn chairs. You must remember those. Heavy and yet they had spring in them and you could lightly rock back and forth. Marsha has painted eight of them in bright colors. Those who enjoy their patio had commented that a soft cushion would really be enjoyed.
The rest of the bargain . . . we will be enjoying farm fresh eggs . . . key word here is fresh . . . nonstop. I jumped on this. I have been baking more in the recent past than I have in years. What recipe doesn’t take eggs! Marsha will be bringing in the foam cushions and fabric and the sewing studio will take her on as a client.
What a great day. What a busy day here on Stauffer Avenue.
