Sunday the 16th
Here we are and the month is officially half over. I am quite satisfied for how the year has gone for us. May all of you reflect and put more things on the plus side than the negative.
I knew I had wore myself out to a good place yesterday with doing some windows and the area around that portion of my bedroom porch. I am not sure what Dennis had been up to in his patio porch. Whatever . . . at eight this morning, as I was coming to, I woke Dennis up as we were expecting company between eight and nine.
Dennis’ grandson AJ was coming from Mankato to help with a few things. AJ is an early riser. I think Dennis beat him to the patio porch by five minutes. Too funny. We now have the large patio umbrella and its cast iron stand in the potting shed. AJ put an antenna on the east exterior wall of the garage so Dennis can either get the smart Samsung television channels or the channels from the Godahl tower north of town. AJ showed his grandpa how he can point the antenna with the controls from inside the patio porch in case the wind has its way with it.
AJ’s mom stopped in from up the street and the forenoon was time for catch up. AJ had told his grandpa he needed to be back in Mankato by noon for the football game. AJ’s girlfriend would have a kettle of chili ready for the first kickoff. We have no idea who is playing.
I had thought the harvest was far enough along that the grain elevator wouldn’t be open on this Sunday. Nope, the harvest is on the move.
Tomorrow Dennis and I are going to be taking care of some errands out of the area. I know it will be a full day. I will not be doing a blog post for Monday the 17th.
If the weather people can be believed, the killing frost is on its way for Monday and Tuesday. We are ready and may all of you also realize . . . we are at a point of no return.
