March 30, 2025

            Well, here we are back at Sunday again. It may be sun day, but it isn’t starting off sunny, there is thunder and lightning off in the distance and there is some lite rain showing up on the driveway.

            Now that I think about it, I may have made a good decision yesterday. What was the good decision that the Don may have made, let’s look into that later in this article, but for now we will get started with, “what events may have occurred yesterday”, by Don the Ford.

            The day started with me going to get our yard man Alex and after visiting the Star coffee place we arrived at the Ford Homestead where we actually did some work.

            First, we headed to the hot house where we, I mean Alex began removing the flowers. Some of the flowers went to the front yard while others were located in the back 40 and still others were located near the ole swing where we sit in the afternoon. We did leave a couple flower near the hot house as some were not in good condition and one nice flower with blooms all over it had fire ants in it. We did spray it a couple times with bug killer, and we will check it later today. Alex did notice a bug that we have a photo of.


             
That work completed, Alex started the weed trimming in both the front and back yards while I removed debris from the back 40. There were again small limbs and Poopa-Loopa in areas of the back 40. With the weed trimming completed, the flowers move, and the debris removed, we considered the work done. Now we would normally head out to Waco to get a sandwich for lunch but since someone needed to stay at the homestead to sign for an expected delivery, my favorite wife volunteered to go in to Waco, get the sandwiches and bring them to the homestead where we had our lunch.

            The grass in the yard was still wet from the rain, and I do not like to mow in wet grass, so after eating I took Alex back to his house. We had agreed that he would come over Monday an do the mowing.

            Arriving back at the homestead I noticed the delivery truck was on our street. As he drove toward our house, I motioned to the driver to stop at our driveway, and he did. We unloaded the carton and I signed for the delivery. The carton was kind of large and I do have a photo of me next to the carton.


 
            Why are you looking at all the stuff in the garage around me when you are supposed to look at the large carton.

            Now let’s return to the good decision that the Don made yesterday afternoon. It was about 3:00pm when I noticed that the grass was dry and ready to be manicured. I decided to call the Alex and see if he would be willing to return to the homestead and mow the grass. He was working with his dad in the yard when I called so he decided to finish working with his dad and then he would come over and mow. I must say he did an excellent job of mowing, and I did not get involved at all. Why I say it was a good decision to get him to come back and mow, it is raining again today, and it might tomorrow.

            As for today events, we may be able to afford lunch out and we might drop by the cheap store to see if they have anything we might need. It the weather allows us to get outside later today we will probably be relaxing outside this afternoon, all are welcome to visit with us.

            Well, I guess I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and as usual, be safe in all you do.

Rain be good!

Senior ole person who needs to stop and then get going, Don the Ford

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