It is a cool morning here in Hewitt, and I know that because I have been outside working a little after 5:00am. I wish you a good morning too.
I have a photo to present to you which will be the beginning of my work explanation.
In the above photo we see the back patio here at the Ford homestead. Yesterday I was allowed to go out back and blow the leaves and debris off the patio, then I was allowed to sweep it with a broom, then I was allowed to wash everything with the pressure hose and then let it set and dry except for the table which I dried with a towel.
This morning at 5:00am our dog wanted to go outside so I obliged his request and let him out. As I was letting him out, I remembered that the sprinklers would run today starting at 6:00am. I need to get everything out of the yard and back on the patio.
You are correct, that is too much work for a 92-year-old man, and it is too much work for me too. Later today I will need to rearrange everything on the back porch. Never a moment for me to rest.
Yesterday’s workload: everything on the back porch was dirty as we have been only using it as a place to keep items that were not needed very often. Heck the gas grill has not been used for more than a year. As I put things back in place today, I will light the grill if there is still gas in the tank. We drove into Waco to get a couple items and then on the way home we got a couple glasses of iced tea, and we did set outside for a while before heading out to the early supper with friends (aka date night).
Supper was good and the conversations were mostly about travel and weddings. We do enjoy having supper with friends. Back at home we again sat outside for a while doing nothing but relaxing as both of us were filled up due to the good supper.
Big plans for today: finish the back porch, rest, bible study homework, rest…
Have a blessed day and stay safe in all you do, and we will keep you in our prayers.
Donnie the Ford
