The End
The end of the work week is near.
From all forecasts the temps may be doable this weekend if you can take the humidity.
Dennis and Dewayne went to McDonald’s this morning. It had been several weeks of those two catching up with each other. It was definitely a break from their usual Tuesdays.
While there was a nice breeze, I got out my Roundup. Plants growing in concrete cracks are not pleasant to look at. The crab grass has really nestled in where the planter of Russian Sage meets the driveway. I realized the sun wouldn’t be out today. I made sure the fine spray followed the base of the plants right into the cracks.
I walked into the backyard. I know there would be many plants that could easily be pulled by the roots with as wet as the soil is. As a well known buzz came close to my face, I decided to look the other way and take in the traffic on Stauffer Avenue and leave the weeds be.
When Dennis got home at noon he commented that the same crowd of fellows on a Friday as a Tuesday. I told him he would need to pop in on a Wednesday or Thursday to see if it was a five-days-a-week gathering.
We did get about an inch of rain from yesterday through the night. First thing this morning, I was in the basement to check to see if water had seeped into the cistern closets. The best way to check is to take a piece of toilet paper and put it in the most vulnerable known spots for seepage. I was thrilled when I could nicely pick up my dry pieces of toilet paper and put it into the waste basket.
I have begun a new book to prop up on my stand. Reading from the book when it is at an angle is oh so much easier on the neck and shoulders. I am also on my second of the three stitching projects that I have going. Rotating them keeps my interest going. I am now on the project that I hope to someday have to put around the wooden box of Ester Schafer’s. Yes . . . 30 plus inches in length by 2.5 ” in width is the plan. You can’t finish if you don’t pick it up and work a few threads into it.
I hope the end of your work week treats you well.
With that I take my leave. ♥
