Fall started yesterday, at least that is what the prognosticators were saying. How was the first day of fall for the ole Fords, he asked with a smirk on his face. My favorite wife trimmed some flowers in the front yard and also pulled weeds out of all the flower beds in the back 40 yesterday morning. I watered the flowerpots and berry beds, I used the string trimmer to remove any unwanted weeds and grass, then I mowed the back 40. We finished around noon.
I did find a peanut shell in the back 40, and I am wondering if our birds are visiting the neighbors to get a peanut, or if the neighbors’ birds are bringing the peanut with them when they visit us?
Later in the day, as I waited for the Alex after school, I had the windows down in the ole truck and there was a slight breeze, the temp was officially 101 in Waco yesterday. I am probably the only person who does not sit there with their vehicle running, air conditioner on, as we wait on the kids.
My favorite wife and I did sit outside yesterday afternoon attempting to solve all the world’s problems, we did not succeed!
I want to say thanks to everyone who asked how I was doing after the surgery, wait a minute, no one even asked how the ole retired senior person who is on a fixed income was doing. Since no one asked, I am not going to tell you that I did remove the bandage this morning, and there was no bleeding, and I am not telling you that everything looks good.
Let’s adjust the topic: I have a photo taken yesterday which I have given the title, “Sign of the time”.
Why is it a sign of the times he asked, the tree has no leaves, could it be due to the lack of rain, and the clouds float around in the sky refusing to provide a drop of rain for the drought-stricken people here in Texas. (The limbs with no leaves are from last year’s winter freeze, and are on the neighbor’s tree, but the drought isn’t helping.)
Well, I guess I should stop with my writing, and possibly take the dog for a walk, hope your day is wonder filled!
Act like you are happy!
Senior person who may take it easy today, Don the Ford
May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
