Just a bit stiff in the joints today. When Kevin was taking down the house chimney on Sunday he commented on the area that our house has a flat roof, there would be just enough room for two lawn chairs. I thought of that yesterday as I was in the attic, stretching to get at the far corners of the knee-walls. Yes, inside also, there is an area about the size that two lawn chairs would take where a person can stand upright. I do not remember how many times I hit my head forgetting to stay stooped over. As I get older, I am making sure to have the items that we stored corralled at least three feet from those “far” corners. A longer wand on the vacuum cleaner helps the back and shoulders to reach the “far” corners.
Today has been a quiet day for Dennis and I as we listen to the winds outside swirling corn chaff and even some dried corn leaves that have managed to find their way into town.
While I was hiding in the attic yesterday, Dennis got his horse tank ready in the Lincoln car garage. The city water needs to dissipate the chlorine and within several days it will be ready to house the Koi over winter. I think we have nine fish to net for the winter. Our hope is that we can hold off until November first. There are forecasts that the next week will bring temps back into the 70s. Time will tell.
