I was tired again this morning when I woke up; not quite as tired as yesterday, but more so than I normally am. After breakfast and reading the paper I took the kitchen vegetable scraps out to the composer and then loaded up and started up the dishwasher.
Kathleen came downstairs after a while and I went outside to deadhead the roses since I had not done that for several days. I filled up a five gallon bucket of spent roses and I also cut about four dozen roses for the house.
I suggested to Kathleen that she might take some over to our neighbor so she did. Shortly after she left I took off to feed Aaron and Tami's pets; I did not see Jasmine and her food looked pretty full; the rabbit was glad to see me as were the fish. I did not see Archie when I first went outside but as soon as I got outside he came running up to me.
My next challenge was to find his food bowl; I finally found it out in the grass. So once I dumped his water and refilled it I filled his food bowl and then played catch with him for fifteen or twenty minutes. I never did see Jasmine so she must be out and about somewhere.
This afternoon I gathered up some of the dry wall that we tore out during the remodeling. Stan did not have the time or the room to get it in his load last Sunday so I will just put it in with the trash over the next few weeks.
After coming back inside and cleaning up I made myself a Boca burger on dark rye with an onion slice, some sun dried tomatoes and some provolone cheese and then toasted it in the toaster oven. Once it finished toasting I added some potato salad and some pickled asparagus.
Kathleen finally came home just a little before 1700 so she must have had quite a visit. I am not sure what we are having for dinner tonight, but I think that I will wait a little while longer before I ask Kathleen what she has in mind for dinner.
Today was kind of overcast all day; I felt a few drops of moisture on my arm while I was outside working kind of like yesterday. It did not do it long enough or hard enough to get anything wet but it was overcast enough that I did not get to mow the lawn as it stayed damp from the drizzle early this morning.

You must really have some rose garden! How many bushes do you have? Your back yard must be gorgeous!
Do Aaron's dog and cat stay out all the time? It is probably too hot in the house to leave them inside. I hope Jasmine comes home soon. I remember when Harley was missing for a long time. Our former cat got locked in someone's garage for a few days once. We thought he was gone for good, but were so happy to see him when he made his way back home.
We had a nice time at Brad's. I gave them your love. Everyone was there except Terry. He is a prison guard now and doesn't work near Elmira, so he was out of town. Micah and Wendy brought their dog Deja along. She was very well-behaved. She likes chasing balls, too!
Jennifer has to go back to Rochester tonight, and Timmy and Jill are leaving in the morning. It has been nice seeing all three of my kids together for the past few days.
I have over three dozen rose plants and this year they are really producing the flowers.
Did you stay at Brad's or where did you stay since they live quite a way out of town.
That is one of the nice things about having all of our children living within twenty minutes of us we get to see them all together frequently.
Usually the only thing that prevents one of them from getting together is having to work.
We didn't stay overnight.
It takes 2 hrs each way. We had 7 people going, and Brad had all of his kids (and grandchildren)there (except Terry).
We got home around midnight, but it was a nice day.
Jen is back in Rochester. Tim and Jill are leaving for Dayton in the morning.
