Lawn Mowing

🐝     🐝

Clouds and sun today on my walk and it was 60 degrees.

 Walked the roads behind my house, then around the industrial park.

Headed down the main road, through town and down a ways toward HT.

Back to town around one of the cemeteries and then home.

Lee was out on his bike checking out the yard sales in town and stopped

to say hi and to give me a couple candy mints which he does every morning

he is out there.  😊

While I was walking Ken went up to HT to pick up the trailer

and I snapped this picture of him as he passed by me on the way home

with the trailer.

Walked 6.2 miles

Found a nickel

Ken got the trailer because we had to bring the lawn mower to church 

so I could mow the lawn.

The church mower had a mishap and Ken volunteered us to mow the lawn

at the meeting he went to last night.

I mowed because I'm the one who always mows the lawn at home and can

maneuver our mower around quite good now.  The no zero turn mowers
 take a bit of getting used to and it is pretty funny watching Ken trying to drive it.

It makes me smile to be able to do something better than Ken. 😊

It is funny because he can drive ANYTHING and has no problem

backing up a trailer.

While I mowed, Ken edged and trimmed tree branches.
When I first started mowing today Ken motioned for me to stop.
He told me the wheel was very wobbly.  Turns out one of the wheels only had
one lug nut out of four holding the wheel on.
So we made a quick trip to the hardware store and bought three lug nuts.
Put them on the mower and I was set to go.

In the afternoon we took the trailer back up to Happy Trails 

and stayed for a little while walking around where our house will be.

 Wow, Ken has made some huge piles of rocks that he has taken out of 

the house area.  He is making piles of them so we will be able to use the rocks

for walls and things that he plans to build one day.

Once we got back home we sat out on the swing in the yard

and had ice cream cones.  They were vanilla ice cream swirled with

orange sherbert.  Tastes just like creamsicles, the ice cream on a stick

that we used to get from the Good Humor man when we were kids.

That's it for today.
It's been a good one.

A happy day to you.

During a conference, my high school principal insulted my immigrant mother's English.  Mom didn't get upset.  Instead, she smiled politely as she delivered this punch to the gut:  "I'm sorry.  Sometimes I get English mixed up with the other six languages I speak."
