Thursday

It was hot here Thursday, but with enough of a breeze to keep it comfortable. However, a cold front is supposed to come in on Friday and the temperature will be unseasonably cool (nice for my air conditioner bill but rough on my poor Mom, out at the cottage).

Once home after work and with the usual tasks done, I watered the container gardens (the few little rain showers we had on Wednesday didn't even show up in the rain gauge).

Then I checked the oil and filled up the gas tank on the push mower. I cut the front lawn and then prepared the riding mower.

Next I cut the back lawn. That took longer than usual as my neighbor called me over to talk about my trees. I hired his buddy to cut down the big maple in back that's closest to the house and they are going to do it this weekend. My neighbor is naturally excited as he is going to help and, in return, get all the wood.

So, it was just after 8:30 PM when I buttoned everything up and came back inside.

I made fried catfish with wild rice for dinner. I left the mess and ate it watching TV. Then I went to bed early because I was pooped!
