            Did we work too hard yesterday, well, we did enjoy sitting outside yesterday afternoon, and yes, we did remove the fall decorations from the front yard, and I had to put them back into the shed along with the items I had taken out of the shed. Oh, I almost forgot, Good Morning!

            Let’s start this post off with something amazing. We have a photo of my latest walking stick that I have manufactured. We decided to get a photo of the walking stick while we were sitting outside yesterday.

            In the photo we see a senior citizen with his recently manufactured walking stick, yes, he has his boots on which he has mentioned in the past postings, and this senior person’s ankle was not hurting while he wore the boots. How are ole people able to look so handsome? I seem to do my best work when I am working with scrap lumber or broken tree limbs.

Speaking of tree limbs, we had the trees in the front yard trimmed yesterday. They were able to get the tree limbs off the roof of the house. I wish I had taken a before photo so you could see the difference. I do have a during and after photo.

            After the limbs were removed and hauled away, I did pick up the small debris that was left from their work. We, then began to remove the fall decorations, we being my favorite wife and me. I also picked up some acorns that had come off the tree limbs as they cut them down.  

            Sitting outside yesterday was very comfortable, but we understand that it may be very cool this afternoon with temps at 71 degrees. By the way, it is 49 degrees this morning. Fall may be coming.

            I did water the black berries yesterday, since we have not had any rain, and speaking of water I need to check the sprinklers to see if any were damaged by the tree limb removal.

            We have no big plans for today, get the kids to school on time and safely, maybe take some clothes to the cleaners, and stop by the teller machine for the weekly stipend.

We hope you have a good and safe day in all you do, and if you want an 8 X 10 photo of my walking stick let me know, it will only cost $40.00.

Tree limbs removed.
