Good morning to everyone. I hope to put three photos in this most excellent detail of our day yesterday.
In the cold morning air (temp in the 40s) Saturday morning, I ventured forth from the Ford’s homestead and hopped into the Ford’s ole chevy, trailer attached and headed for the dump site. Usually when I arrive at the dump site there are vehicles ahead of me possibly as many as 30 or more. Yesterday, there was one vehicle ahead of me. They removed the limbs from my trailer, and I was on the way home at 8:08am.
Back at home I was able to get the trailer parked in the back 40 and then I called Alex to see if he was ready to work. It was a very cool 50 degrees when I picked Alex up.
A photo of a cloud which Alex took with my phone while I was driving yesterday morning as we were going to the star coffee place prior to working.
As you might see there was a cloud off in the distance and the sun was shining through some fluffy clouds.
Let’s now see a photo which was taken Friday afternoon when we were sitting outside just before dark.
Yes, you were just mooned. I know, only us older people know what mooned means. I also have a photo showing that fall is here.
What? You can’t see the leave on the oak trees turning brown, that means fall is here.
Yesterday’s workload: Alex and I moved the big, heavy, flowerpot into the hot house. I should say, Alex moved the big and heavy flowerpot into the hot house, as I watched. We went to the big pot and determined that we would pick it up, put it on the ole red wagon, pull it to the hot house and then determine how to get it inside. Alex was able to lift the potted plant by himself using his legs. He knows proper and safe lifting.
One problem was I need to be able to water all the plants weekly, and the big flower can’t restrict access to the other flowers. We also placed 2 heat lamps to help keep it warm in the cool weather, we have a heater that we have not yet placed, which is for the real cold weather. The heater has a fan which helps move the air around on those cold nights.
Then Alex and I headed to the front yard and started installing some Christmas lights on the house and around the flower beds. Alex did most of the work including the work from the ladder. We were about two thirds of the way done when we decided to go into Waco for lunch. lunch was good and after lunch we headed for the harbor store as I wanted to get an item.
Returning home we continued on installing the lights. We were almost done when one half of one string of the lights stopped working. We could not fix it so I took it down. this string covered about 12 feet of the roof and some of the Jasmin’s bed. Alex finished the lights around the other Jasmine beds. We could not finish the work as we did not have another string of lights, so we compensated Alex and took him home.
Everything put away we decide to go to the Wally world and see if we could procure another string of lights. Luckly we were able to get another string of lights which I hope to install this afternoon.
During what was to be our rest period, aka sitting outside, my favorite wife wanted to drain the nasty water that was in the wishing well. this nasty water was stagnated and black in color. I used a small bucket to get most of the nasty water out and I poured it out on the street. Then we were able to clear a hole that was in the bottom of the well so future water would drain automatically. My favorite wife puts flowers in pots in the well and when we water them some dirt drains with the water and eventually blocks the drain hole.
I did have some rest time after the unclogging of the drain, for rest and an adult beverage.
Today, we would like to wash Tres and I want to get the last string of lights on the house and around the flower bed. I guess I am done presenting, we hope you have a good day and be safe in all you do.
Mooned the nice way.
Senior ole person who hopes the storms do not become severe tomorrow, Don the Ford
May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
