It took a while but the sun finally came out.

When I got up this morning it was really overcast and I was not giving much hope for a sunny day, but by late morning the sun popped out and it turned out to be a really nice day. The weather the last few days has been more normal temperature wise in the high sixties and low seventies and today was kind of a normal late spring day.


After eating breakfast, reading the paper and cleaning up my mess I thought about going out and mowing the front lawn but I was feeling really tired so I thought that I would sit down in the living room for a while. I must have dozed off because I was awaken by the mailman closing the mail box; so I got up and got the mail, opened it and recycled the majority of it. Kathleen was up and so I told her that I was going to mow the lawn and went out to the garage to get the mower.

I decided that I would raise the cutting height as the weather is getting warmer and we are not having as much rain now and the grass will be drying out much easier now if I did not keep the grass a little longer.

After I set the cutting height I took the mower to the front yard and noticed that there was several long straw like blades of grass wrapped around the blade axes so I decided to clean it out.

With the cutting height set higher I did not cut a lot of grass and so I had a lot of battery life left so I got out my Scott's Turf Builder and my spreader and fertilized the front lawn since this was something on my to-do-list for today anyway.

With the battery still pretty strong I decided that I would mow the back lawn as well, so I did. Since I already had the spreader and the fertilizer out I decided that I would do the back lawn as well.


After putting the mower, spreader and fertilizer away I got out my rose pruners and dead header the roses after I put the law furniture back on the lawn. So after I finished pruning I sat and soaked up some vitamin -D- for a while.

When I got back into the house Kathleen had taken the canned goods out of the pantry and various other places and was sorting them out and also making a data base to keep track of what we have and where it is. So I cleaned up and made myself something to eat for lunch.

After eating I went back into the living room to rest up a while, read here fall asleep, before I started anything else. Well, I never did get anything else done, I had not slept all that well last night and I kept waking up as my nose was blocked up.

Tonight Kathleen cooked the rest of the steak from the other night and made a salad to go along with it. I think my allergies must be acting up again as my eyes have been rather irritated much of today as well. I am getting really tired of not feeling well and not having any energy.

Good Morning Dad. I'm really sorry about Sunday. You wouldn't have wanted to come over and catch what we had, It would have just made you more "active" in a bad way.... but luckily it didn't last long for either of us, John and I were both sick for about two days each but on different days. Not quite the way he wanted to spend Father's Day I'm sure. So we are hoping this next weekend will work better. Probably Sunday again after church before dinner. Will let you know for sure when I find out. Love you!!!

That is okay, neither your mother or I have felt very good the last couple of days. I have really been tired, partially from not sleeping well due to my nose being congested and partly from working around the yard.

It is not that I am doing a lot, but it is just enough to tire me out.

Right now Sunday sound okay, but we can tell you more this weekend.
