A Feel Good Monday
New week brings new outlook. The weather looks to be cooperating with humidity and dew point.
The first thing I did this morning was to get all of the metro bug splatter off of the front of the car. It looked as if I had driven through a massacre. I have found that baby wipes work the best and with them being non abrasive.
It couldn’t be helped. It had to be spoken of: “Noreen, do you want me to pre-start your push mower for you?” Oh for Pete’s sake! Let’s just do the mowing and get over with. Grant it the four inches of rain was needed, but I must say, I did not mow the very front of our home. The grass roots need some time to absorb the moisture and I am sure they will send me visuals of when their tops need a trim. The hot direct sun had really done a number on the front yard. I did mow the north side of the house as it enjoys shade for the entire length of the day. Dennis used the Cub tractor and that takes off a good hour of his mowing compared to using the Sears rider.
As the trimmer and leaf blower were being put away, neighbor June was walking by and she came over and we caught up with each other. It had been hot enough last week that neither of us had been going for a walk. I do enjoy taking the walks around the block, but being physically busy is a good trade off for lazier times. Dennis had spent the entire week being physical and look how proud we are of having gotten so much cleaned up and cleaned out. Sweet!
Dennis has gone for coffee with his group that live in one of the apartment houses. Before he left, I wrote out the electric bill for him to drop off at city hall. That bill was an ouch! Dennis just patted me on the shoulder and reminded me of how much we enjoy getting a good night’s rest when we are not sweating the bedding wet. He is right, of course. When I was a kid, we often found the room in the farmhouse where there was a breeze coming through the window and we would sleep on the floor in close proximity to that window. I do like what we have going for us so much better. Hmm, I will just have to give up all of my vices and pay the piper.
Enjoy what this week will bring to you. You may think you have it nailed down, but . . . nothing is 100% in place and you must leave a bit of room for some variance.
