Saturday the 14th
We seem to have activity on a fairly regular basis.
Dennis’ daughter, nurse Sandy and Tom, came from Mankato this morning. Tom got dropped off here and Sandy went on to Jeff’s apartment to check on him.
It is Jeff’s 60th birthday today. Sandy brought him a birthday cake. I had texted him a greeting this morning.
Dennis and Tom went about clearing out the patio porch as Tom had volunteered after Dennis had asked him to put down the new carpet for Dennis. We had stored a vehicle for Tom for several years and Dennis didn’t feel bad for asking for help. I stayed in the house. I had laid the last carpet when it was a grass green indoor-outdoor, and I remembered it was not measurements to put a jig to. It’s about 12″ x 16″. It is down and done. After it has a chance to stretch itself out and down a bit, we can staple the carpet down to the plywood flooring at the sliding door opening so as to not trip anyone up. It is three this afternoon and it is down to Dennis and me. Sweet.
The humidity is low but the dewpoint makes up for it when any amount of exertion takes place. I sweat easily, just like my dad.
I had thought we had had sufficient rain but the lilac leaves are shriveled and brown. The crab apple tree out the kitchen window has a steady flow of leaves dropping. Dennis commented how low the lake level was west of town. The drought monitor that Shawn Cable, the weather man of KEYC implements, is also creeping up.
Dennis brought in two small onions. That is a hint that fried onions are going to go with the left-over boiled potatoes from last night. Equal amount of onions to potatoes. That works for me also.
Nothing more to report and that is not a bad thing.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
