bumpity bump

 I mowed today

    I bounced like a rubber check. 

    I had more ups and downs than an Otis elevator.

    I found more low spots than a depressed psychiatrist.

    Yes, I do complain about mowing a lot.  Our yard looks fairly level, but there are some low spots that seem to be getting lower.

      After 3 hours, I was finished.  And the lawn was cut.  

    I told Jackie I want a bigger mower and she said no.  Emphatically no.

    We'll see about that next spring.

    Went to a friend's 80th birthday party.  That seems really old, but hell, I am 78, so I guess it is not that old.

    Stopped at Cypress House for a coffee.  Called the young girl the wrong name and realized it immediately and corrected it with the right name.  

    I drank my coffee while mowing.  It was an iced coffee since it was 82 when I put on shorts to mow.

    I was sitting perfectly still when I took a sip and spilled it over my shirt and shorts.  Luckily I was wearing my yard mowing gear.  And truthfully, I was a bit chilly toward the end.

    Made BLTs for supper.  I made sure the bread was not moldy this. time.  And I had to buy a tomato.

    In the not too distant future I will dig up my carrots.  Something is eating the tops and I hope my little ground squirrels are not eating the bottoms.

    This was a nice fall day, but it is going to be near 90 this week.  90!  Dang, that is July/August weather, not October.  I hope that is the last hot one for the year.

    It's not looking good for the White Sox.

Peace and Love
