Despite having a long list, today was quiet. Autmn’s plans changed so I just stepped through the list. It’s been chilly and damp so I didn’t spend much time outside. I was just getting ready to attempt mowing (the grass was getting unruly) after I took a card to the mailbox. I noticed my neighbor’s grandson mowing – and he saw me. He agreed that when he could, he’d cut for me. And he had time today! That was a blessing since the grass was still wet. I was very happy to have him cut and weed whack. Thank you, Trent!
Front yard, weed-whacked and cut.
Side yard
Beside the deck.
I pulled a few weeds but again, it was damp and cool and windy so I wasn’t out long. I did trim the new little spouts off the maple trees in the front yard, checked on the flower beds, and unplugged the battery charger in the shed since I’ll be away.
The white azalea has more blooms
Front yard peonies – did you know the ants actually help open the flowers to bloom?
I knew the car was running low on gas – and although I don’t think I’m taking the Ford on vacation I didn’t want it to get too low. So I did go out and put just a small amount of gas in the car. I’ll fill it up tomorrow if I find out I’m taking it. I wouldn’t return it on empty.
The ‘low fuel’ light even came on!
The moon last night was very bright – but it did seem smaller. I felt like I could see the craters on the surface!
It looks yellow!
My sister mentioned that stamps are going up in July, and that right now they have ones that reflect our founding fathers (and mothers!). So after getting gas I stopped at the post office.
My PAN newsletter came today, and although I am not a notary any more, I do still get the newsletters. And I like doing the Word Search so I printed it out. I’ll work on it later, after supper.
