Check That Off
Today we had another item to check off of our “to do” list.
My hand signals were good enough to help Dennis hook up the implement trailer to the little red pickup. We had gotten a call that the 1968 Cub Lo-Boy was ready to come home with three brand new blades on the mower. Charles told Dennis he greased everything that needed it once it was up on the hoist. Charlie can no longer work in his shop due to a severe back injury that occurred when he was working for the county. Charlie was servicing a pump on a county ditch when the area around the pump caved in on him. Charlie has good workers in his shop and oversees everything.
Dennis came home and unloaded his tractor. It went right into the back garage, the trailer was parked and all was right with the world.
After Dennis had left for Charlie’s this morning, I walked back home across the acre. The heavy rains did a great job of dissolving all the deer pop from the winter. Hmm. There were tiny little biting bugs. Not surprising. I do have some sweet little yellow flowers to take care of on the east Hosta garden that wants to make a showing. So be it. Just not today.
I had a good handle on getting some 16″ blocks tricked out with the quarter inch trim. As I whiled away a few hours, it was great reflecting on how far we came this last week getting the basement back in good stead.
We are having a scramble egg, sausage and toast supper. Sweet!
