Rain
According to the static on the KNUJ radio, it really would like to rain.
Dennis and his Sears rider went to the barn acre and mowed what green grass there is. Sometime, nephew Brett will be coming over with one of his skid loaders to push together what trees have fallen over or what had been pushed aside over the years. In time when the burning bans have been lifted, we will most likely get a permit for burning. There is so much that is dried, it could be quite a fire. If all is pushed into the middle of the lot, there is no chance of neighbor’s homes being in harm’s way.
My walking sticks and I walked over to where Dennis was mowing, picking up sticks as I went from our house to Dennis. Many, many wisps that won’t need picking up. Snuggles followed behind feeling very secure.
This morning the kitchen, bath and entry floors felt the kiss of mopping. As long as Dennis needs to wear a medical boot on his left foot, mopping gets done frequently. Having a small home . . . perfect.
The oven meal of last night was a success. The sauerkraut with the chicken gave it a nice flavor. There is a bit of it in the freezer for another time, with some for supper. Jellied cranberries is one of our favorite side dishes with an oven meal.
My firefighter family member had a sweatshirt with the name of the city, a design of a helmet and ax under that for t-shirt quilts. Under both of those was “FIRE & RESCUE.” One sweatshirt for two quilts. Hmm. I have a “Toolbox” software program on the computer in the living room. I was able to get the correct font for “GIBBON” complete with the name outlined in white. No helmet and ax in any of the websites that I frequent for downloading designs to load into the sewing machine. I did get a design of a helmet that will go under the city’s name and then finish it out with the fire and rescue. It will be close.
There is a lot of enjoyment in working through challenges.
A quiet weekend is on the docket for us perhaps listening to the pitter patter of rain on the awning.
