Nice Weather Returns Just in Time for School to Start!

Well after a mostly cloudy weekend the nice weather is upon us once again. This morning Kathleen was up almost as early as I was and made hash browns and eggs for the both of us; that is egg yokes for her and egg whites for me. After eating I loaded up the dishes and did the hand washing then I took the recycling outside. Since it was getting pretty nice out already I decided that I would mow the lawn before it got too warm.

After I mowed I dug some weeds out of the back lawn since the ground was nice and soft from the wet weekend and the weeds were easy to pull. When I got done pulling the weeds I took them up front and put them into the yard debris container.

When I got finished outside I cleaned up and then read the mail that had come earlier. There really was nothing there and so it all found its way into the recycling pile,

After a while I made myself a salad with some garden fresh tomatoes, yellow pepper, mushrooms and an onion slice. Then I gathered up all the dishes, silverware and anything else that I could get into the dishwasher and started it up. Then I went to sit in my chair to try to rest up but Kathleen wanted to talk, finally after an hour or so after she went back upstairs I took a couple pain relievers and went outside to see if I could get some work done out there.

First I spent about an hour and a half working on cleaning up the garage, I managed to get some things thrown out and rearranged many others. I can now get both my garden carts out of the garage without having to take my Jeep out. The one cart was full of all kinds of junk and hence the things that made in into the garbage can.

Once I had finished in the garage I went about trying to dig out the old basketball basket. Years ago when I put that in for the children I really used a lot of cement and rocks to hold it securely, really securely! I dug all around it and then when I got to where I could see the cement I got out my trusty sledge hammer and started wailing on it.

I managed to break some of it apart but what else happened was that I was able to loosen the dirt around it enough so that I could push it over. Once I had it down I took it apart and then move the main pole out of the way of the driveway. I was too tired to try to break up the cement any further so I put my tools away and left it for another day.

Kathleen heated up the rest of the mac and cheese and some green beans. We got three meals out of that mac and cheese...not too bad. Well I am pretty tired so I think I will quite before I fall asleep at my computer.
