BREAK TIME!! I’ve just about finished weeding the first part of the hill out front. And I transplanted 4 or 5 day lilies - I lost count - plus a couple of black-eyed susans. And a neighbor who lives at the end of the cul-de-sac stopped to chat. I think she wants to hang out. Nice lady. I just wiped down the grubby, exposed skin and I’ve got me a big glass of lemonade. Once I’m rested and cooled down, I’ll dump all the weedage that’s in the wagon and go back to fill it up again. There’s a chance of rain this afternoon or early this evening, which is great. Otherwise, I’ll have to drag the sprinkler down to help the transplants settle in. For now, I’ll surf a bit. Whew! ---

She had no pain, no discomfort and her legs were working fine. I took them out this morning and she continues to be well. 🙂 Since you were already prepared to put something down today I suggest you still do such; I nominate **flytrap** to take Mickey’s place & put _us_ out of our misery. ☹ All in favor say, “Aye”. ---

I’m done - at least with the yard work. I figure I put at least 2 hours in on the hill and I hauled 2 wagon loads of debris into the woods (it’s nice having a big yard with lots of places to dump debris out of sight. I also painted our name and number on it, since the stick-on letters were peeling off. And I took the old lawn mower and parked it on the corner with a sign that says “FREE” - hoping it’ll disappear this afternoon. Now I need a shower. A soak in a hot tub would be nice - wish I had one. But a shower will suffice. I’s tahred!! ---

We had a nice, soaking thunderboomer roll thru. With luck, it helped the transplants settle in. Supposedly we won’t have any more rain till maybe late Monday. I just hope it’s not rainy on Weds - that’s when the gutter-cleaners are going to come. \*\*FCD \*\*has quit painting for the day. Chillage shall ensue. ---

Refereed two youth soccer games today. They are getting ready for the AYSo Section 5 Games in a couple of weeks so they held a tournament for the local squads. Did an Assistant referee on an U12 game, gave myself an A-, I got all the calls right but trailed to play some (I’m 6’2" and 275; keeping up with 11-12 year old boys on 40-50 yard sprints is not easy). Did a Center on a boys U10, about a B+, missed a couple of calls but all in all did a good job managing the game (the coach that lost 9-0 may have a different opinion). I was 76F for the first game (0800) and 89F for the second (1330). I think an afternoon bath may be in order (since I am in odor…) ---

Good news **Sticky**! I went through a bag of stuff I brought from my mother’s. So much old stuff in there, I even found response cards and envelopes from my wedding. Now I’m all sneezy and my throat itches. ---

**sari** this might be the time to suggest to your mother she would be so much more _comfortable_ at your sister’s home. 😃 We did burgers. Four were grilled and we et two so we shall have burgers for N.O.L. on Moanday. Tomorrow is brunch Sunday over to the church house. Thus I made a cake plus a gallon each of sweet and unsweet tea. The cake is a mandarin orange sheet cake. I baked. Can y’all stand it! 😃 ---

The lawnmower is gone. Don’t know who took it, don’t care. I hope it works out for them. We’ve had some rain on and off, one really big shower, and a couple of random sprinkles. Tomorrow should be rain-free, and if I can move, I’ll finish weeding the hill. We’ll see how it goes. ---
