Bright Sun
I needed to concentrate on the bright sun and not the strong winds.
Both Dennis and I slept in this morning until eight. We had a one hour interruption during the night. The CPAP machine of Dennis’ had slipped when he turned over in bed and the noise was much like a wounded moose. I thought it was a great blessing that we could go back to sleep after having been up. I am so thankful that I do not need to use a CPAP breathing machine. Dennis has afib which is irregular heartbeats. When the heart misses a beat and does not start up again, the CPAP machine gives a burst of air to get the heart beating again. Dennis has been on the machine for about fifteen years. We take the silent nights with those that may not be so silent.
I got my gear and rear going for some window washing. There are eight exterior windows, two doorways and two windows opening up the porch into the rest of our home in my bedroom porch. Not much left for wall space. Dennis washed off the exterior of our home last weekend when it was nice. Today I wanted to get a start on cleaning the soap scum and hard water droplets off so we can see through them. The bright sun does quite the job of letting light in, but not seeing through the mess. I did get four of the exterior windows tipped in and tidied. Dennis came behind me and got them locked. It went so well, I was tempted to keep going, but taking it easy on the arms and hands will allow for possibly feeling good enough to do the other four tomorrow.
We will have a repeat performance of our oven meal of last night for this evening. Sweet!
When I think of how many semi tractor loads of harvest have gone past the house today, that is only from the southeast part of the farming community. It has been a marathon. It’s been a dry harvest with no hint of a slowdown with no rain in the forecast.
Dennis is waiting for a hard freeze so he can harvest his leaves. The strong winds have rearranged quite a few of them that didn’t wait for the frost to knock them loose.
