A Sunny Monday
Too nice to be inside. There was a bit to take into the back garage. The bridge that sits in the far east Hosta bed needed to be taken inside. Perfect fit into the back of the pickup and off we went. Dennis is holding out on the patio umbrella and the wooden electrical spool that we use as a patio table. I am sure he is right . . . there will be patio sitting time yet to come.
All of the Lilac trimming that we had done a week ago Sunday needed to either be taken to the city tree dump or burned. By the time we would have gotten the two-wheel trailer out of the back garage and loaded all the limbs, taken it to the tree dump and unloaded it . . . naw. We decided to burn it. Handle it one time and not several, seemed like a good idea. Some limbs were green and some were four inches in circumference. Dennis worked his magic and I didn’t ask what he used to start the fire. Ignorance is bliss. Lilac wood is dense and heavy. Within several hours, all that were left were fine ashes. Amazing.
Dennis has taken our chainsaw Eagle into the garage. I do hear a sander going. We have had him for quite a few years. We found him at a flea market and he has had the perfect place here on Stauffer ever since. Dennis’ plan is to take some of the old finish off, wash it well, let dry thoroughly for several days and then do the poly clear spray as a re-fresher. Sounds like a plan to me.
As we have been hitting the job jar quite heavily, I wonder what Dennis will find next. The Cub repair is still on the list but in limbo until the electrical harness has been built and shipped. What a great fall with Dennis feeling his oats.
The request for supper was soup and sandwich. Easy enough.
