Today was quite the change in the weather going from high eighties or low nineties to mid seventies and from sunshine to overcast the whole day. When I first got up and saw it overcast I figured that it was just going to burn off in a couple hours but it never did.
After eating breakfast I went outside and raked the front lawn; of course before I went outside I put my bib overalls on so that I did not have my white over the calf compression sock showing with my shorts.
There were quite a lot more leaves on the ground this morning than there has been so far this season so I got out my collapsible container out along with my rake. Then after I finished raking I watered the gardens in the front yard.
After finishing the front yard I went to the back yard and watered all the gardens back there. Then I dug out one of the pesky blackberry bushes that had started popping up in my iris garden along the back fence. When I finally got the root dug out I could see that the root was coming from the other side of the fence so I pulled out as much as possible from the other side as well.
By the time I finished and got cleaned up it was after 1200 and so I went out and got the mail. There was not anything worth keeping except my auto renewal policies for our vehicles and also a note from our insurance agent advising us about the possibilities of changing the structure of our policies.
I called his office as I was finishing lunch but he was out to lunch and his assistant said that she would have him call me back when he got back. But about 1530 Kathleen was ready to go look at fixtures for the bathroom remodel, so we took off and he called back while we were gone and by the time we got back it was after hours so I will have to call him back tomorrow.
We did pick out a tub, sink and toilet; the sink and toilet are the same as we have upstairs. I had to order the toilet as the assistant manager told us that there was about a five week leed time on them. They just came out with a new flushing system and they did not have any in stock yet. Along from the new flushing system came a hundred dollar price increase, but I guess everything is going up in price.
My legs feel better I guess, my feet are still sore and my back still hurts although if I keep up on my Vicodin it is not as bad as it use to be.
Well Kathleen is making a tuna and macaroni dish for dinner tonight and it is just about done so I think I will wrap this up and call it a day.
