Another Change of Season

While this morning was still pretty overcast, it did clear up and turn out to be a really nice day. It took me a while to get going this morning in fact I did not get outside until around 1230. After checking out the garden and picking up some of the golden mountain ash branches I got out my electric reel mower and mowed the back yard.

After I finished mowing the back yard I mowed the east side and then the area on the west side of the driveway. Since the mower battery was running low on its charge I put it away and put the battery on the charger. I then went and weeded for a while on the east side of the raised garden.

By the time I finished filling my bucket I decided to clean up and make myself some lunch. Kathleen had taken off before I went outside to meet up with Andrea at John's shop. Kathleen was going to have her oil changed and a new muffler put on and while John was doing that she and Andrea were going to do some running around, at some yarn shops among other things.

She had left a slice of toast with peanut butter and banana on it that she said that I could have so I did. I also had a buttermilk donut that I ate for lunch; probably not the healthiest meal that I have had this week but some days are like that.

We had gotten a couple of bills the last few days so I went online and paid them and checked my e-mail. By the time I finished it was about 1700 so I went into the living room and watched the local news and then Fox news after that.

Kathleen came home and had me take her sewing machine out to her SUV so I did that. She had made herself a sandwich that I cut up for her and put in a bag so that she could take it with her to Montivilla Sewing Center as she was taking a class tonight.

We had gotten some sliced ham and turkey the other day for the deli at Winco so I made myself a sandwich for dinner as well. I kept hearing a lawn tractor and finally I went out back to see what it was and I was surprised to find Steve, the brother of the guy that is going to build on the lots behind us.

He was trying to mow the field behind our house and while he was cutting some of it a lot of it was just being pushed over so he will probably have do it again to get what he missed. I does look much better even partially cut; now I will not have to use my line trimmer to do it. Although he could not get as close to the fence and I can with the trimmer, but I am glad that he at least made the effort. I went up to the fence and thanked him and he seemed appreciative that I would do that.
