Winds from the North
Winds from the north tell me that the temps are going to be enjoyable for a few days.
Our first item of the day was to work on a patch for the garage in the eastern part of the acre. Dennis had mowed the lawn back there for years without a hitch. Dennis honors my request of not blowing grass clippings onto buildings. Sweet. Last week he was on the third round of mowing and that round does get blown towards the buildings as it never reaches that far. There was a huge thunk. Dennis doesn’t know what had been hit. As he looked around, there was a round hole in the west wall of our garage. I mean a round hole straight through the wall. Peekaboo, I see you!
When we went to inspect the interior, there laid the rock on the floor of the garage just as pretty as you please. Hmm. Just as a quilter pieces things together, so I devised a patch, starting on the inside wall. A bit of foam cut from my stashes was tucked in the hole, followed with a covering of heavy cardboard applied with Gorilla double duty black tape. Good grief the mosquitoes were thick in the garage. Itch, itch. Tomorrow I will use the tin snips and cut out a vinyl patch for the exterior of the wall. It’s too bad it happened. It’s a Godsend that it was a wall and not a child. Lawnmowers have always be a caution when it comes to what can fly out from underneath at a speed and force that is unbelievable.
While we were in the back garage we did a bit of the tidy stuff. Once your eyes see stuff, you can’t deny it. We brought back two large totes to scrub up and hopefully will find a new home for them. We are so done filling up totes.
Snuggles kept me company as I did the last of the cleaning on the totes. The “no-see’ems” were so bad, Snuggles decided to stay in the garage porch and watch me from inside. It’s either their pee or their spit that burns like a little torch on the skin . . . of course, followed by an itch. Fall is notorious for annoying bugs.
I am about to wrangle up supper. We had soup and fried egg sandwiches last night, so tonight will incorporate the entree of . . . meat, potatoes and veggies.
It’s hump day and aren’t we thankful to have one. Catch ya tomorrow.
