I said I would not mow my yard on a Sunday, because Sunday was a day of rest. And quiet.
Well, I mowed. And mowed. And mowed.
Yard done. Lot done. I'm done.
I have christened the lot "Folly." Part of me is thinking buying it was a mistake, but the other part of me says I don't have to put up with construction noise or neighbors who are not as great as the ones I have.
While I was mowing, a bicyclist rode by and stopped in the driveway.
It took me a minute to recognize friend Wendy, who rode out from town and stopped when she saw me mowing.
We had a nice. talk about riding, vacations and all other good things.
In a sense it made me sad, because I used to be able to do what she is doing. And no, she does not have an e-bike. She pedals, which is the purpose of a bike.
I have not even taken my bike down this year. I had said I would ride in August, but didn't. Then I said September, and haven't. There is still some time though, so maybe it will happen.
For the first time this summer, I ate on the back patio! It has always been too hot before, but tonight it was perfect. In fact, I was a little chilled by the time I was done.
Emily got me some buttered chicken Saturday, but I ate so much at Costco I wasn't hungry. So I had it today and I think I have enough for 2 more meals! They sure gave me a lot of food. I wonder if I can freeze it? I am not sure about 3 nights of buttered chicken. The nice breeze kept the bugs away, except for on aggressive fly that kept landing on my arm.
And I got the corn blanched and stripped from the cob. It is now down in the freezer. Next up will be carrots, but not for a while.
Finally, I have a red tomato!! I have no idea what I did wrong with them this year. Too much rain? Not enough water? Too much sun? Shade? Is it the soil?
All I know is the tomatoes were a flop.
Beth had a pretty good day. She has a semi solid BM working now. The is progress, although pretty disgusting too.
Happy Labor Day
Peace and Love
Especially Peace
