Yesterday was a hot one but by afternoon the humidity had gone way down, so I tried to mow the front of the yard. I ran over a mouse with the lawnmower and had to euthanize the poor little thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mowing takes more upper body strength than I have. The property slopes in two directions, East\/West and North\/South, so you’re fighting gravity with every push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron did great, though, finished both front and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I staked some plants that might be Goldenrod. Took down the curtains in the kitchen. Did some grilling: cabbage with chopped onion, carrots and chickpeas for a kale salad, veg burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We ate on the deck and DEET’d up, enjoyed being outside, unmolested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s so muggy this afternoon that even our outdoor-loving neighbors are inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did a transfer station and two compost runs because I’m absent-minded. Picked up a couple of staples at Stop & Shop as well. Changed the sheets. After buying a new drill bit at rk, Ron fixed the kitchen drawer!
