When a Plan Comes Together
Dennis’ plan that he laid out for us today seemed to fall into place. Dennis got the 2-wheel trailer out of the back garage for picking up the branches I have been stock piling. That 2-wheel trailer is sporting brand new tires since last spring. We had made a trip to Fairfax to haul an iron beam home on tires that were a miracle.
The tree dump was our target with anything and everything that we could rake and load. The deal I made with Dennis was that I would rake and load the trailer and he could take his time getting the Koi into the pond after spending all winter in a horse tank. We have seven Koi for the season. Just the right amount to watch, feed and enjoy. The garage area where the fish had been got cleaned up. The pump that was used over the winter in the horse tank, Dennis took right down into the basement and cleaned it for storage until the fall of 2019.
We both finished our tasks about the same time. Dennis’ plan came together. All the areas where Hosta grow have been raked. The rider lawnmower won’t be needed to cut up a bunch of nasty twigs. . . picked up and loaded. I drug my weary, sorry butt into the pickup and away with went with our $1.00 for the tree dump fee. The trailer has been parked until the next errand. The acre looks like people live here that appreciate their home.
This was the second day that Dennis had a tailwind for energy. He slept great last night. I can always tell how calm his sleep was by the amount of water that the humidifier of his CPAP machine has used during the night. Little details keep me up to speed.
Dennis and I are looking forward to company from Fairfax tomorrow for Easter. Yup, there is a job jar. Dennis fondly refers to Kevin as his favorite wood-tick. I don’t think Kersten and Keven have ever come for a visit that there was not something that needed the fine tuning of someone who knows what they are doing. Us? Not so much.
This evening Dennis and I are enjoying the peace that passes all understanding. Praise be to the risen Jesus.
