            Good morning from me to you and the that other person too, we hope your day is starting well.

Yesterday work history: I did go out to the back 40 and trim the bushes that are along the wall. Now the parts that I was cutting off the bushes ranged from 2 feet to 4 feet long, mostly 4 feet long. Most of the branches came from the top of the bushes and some came from the base of the bushes. I had the Ford’s ole red wagon setting there and I would place the cuttings in the wagon. When the wagon was full, I would take it to the trailer where there were limbs from previous work days, and the nice thing was, I could gather the entire wagon load of cuttings in my arms at one time and place them on the trailer. I had three full wagon loads of cuttings. After wrestling with the cuttings, I decided to get a shower in hopes of removing any chiggers that were likely on me from the cuttings. 

Later in the day, having nothing to do, I decided to see if I could, using the leaf blower, blow leaves in to a pile. My thought was to have our yard man Alex over here Saturday and using the lawn mower he could pick up the leaves. The leaf blower worked but I think the lawn mower would do an equally good job of blowing the leaves.

I also having no real plans for the afternoon, decided to see if I could get some acorns from the new jasmine bed, the jasmine is not real thick there and I can see some acorns on the ground. I picked up a few acorns but the dirt was wet since the sprinkler had run that morning so I got more mud than acorns. 

I did drive out to where the early voting is and there were too many cars, so I did not even turn into the parking area, I proceeded on and came home on what I use to call the back road, it is Richey Road. I see that there are many new houses but the big surprise for me was, there is a grade school on that road and I had no idea it was there. Yes, it had been several years since I had been on the road.

Our son David and Claire did get to vote yesterday, they said it took about 45 minutes, and the voting was on paper ballots, no computers this time. We hope to get out there one day this week and get the voting done.

Today I do not know what I might do, I do need to water everything and I could remove some of the grass from the berry beds, but that requires me to be on my ole knees.

Well, I guess I will stop entering data, and get ready to get Alex and take him to school. we hope you have a very good day; stay productive in all you do and please be safe.

Bush cutter Don.

Senior ole person who encourages everyone to vote, Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
