Hmm
I did not know this was homecoming week at our school. I went to the grocer’s this afternoon and they had banners across the entry aisle.
At the grocer’s I achieved my goal. Dennis will have a birthday cake on Wednesday. Right out of the grocer’s freezer into my cart and now it is in our refrigerator. He will be having a Mississippi Mud chocolate cake. They had a fairly good selection of 6″ round cakes.
Yesterday after Dennis had put in a good day “making nice” with his patio door sliders on Saturday, he thought the undertaker was coming. He did take my advice and with his two walking sticks and made a few trips up and down the concrete drive to drive some stiffness out. Today Dennis got the Cub-Lo-Boy out and mowed one of our yards and also the neighbors. The neighbor is a single gal and works with her family at Keebler’s salvage yard just down the street. Dennis made a trip out to the salvage yard as soon as he was done mowing. He did not see the little rope in the grass that she ties her dog to when she lets him out. I ask Dennis if it wound under the mower blades. Nope, but there was not any length of rope to be saved.
Tomorrow I will be mowing the acre with the zero-turn while Dennis using the Sears will do around the homestead. Dennis said it was time to park the mowers for this 2024 season. Of course with all the tree removal happening on the acre site, it will take time for that grass to recover. The east half had no traffic and that is where I will be starting.
Our neighbors are home from their trip to see Gettysburg and other such historical places. They watched the weather on their phone and came home earlier than planned. Jan said one week was enough.
Cooler weather is coming. I look forward to it.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
