Sunday Meanderings

A day with no rain is a good day. So today was a very good day. Not a drop came down. I tell you, we've had our fair share lately and so has everybody else it seems. Yesterday we got a little bit but not a lot. It was mostly big rumbling thunder. I figure whoever lives up there is doing some major renovations or shuffling all their furniture around to create a new look. That must be why it gets so noisy down here.

Sure is quiet with just me and Pumpkin at home. Andree is building memories on a mother-daughter trip to the Maritimes. I am really happy for her. What a treat!

I kept myself pretty busy all day. I did take time to do some writing this morning which was super nice to do. Then I spent most of the morning trimming and cutting broken limbs off our two maple trees out front. There was more to do than I thought. Took a while to do the cutting then hauling it all to the town disposal place.

After that I attacked the ant nests that are all over our lawn with a second round of chemicals. I thought maybe I had the problem licked after my first go at them last night but there was still some running around in those huge mounds of dirt this afternoon. If I don't get this under control they are going to walk away with our whole house soon. I never like killing things but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Pumpkin thought she'd stay out of harms way and keep an eye on things to make sure I did a good job.

Cooked myself a good supper tonight out on my back yard fire pit. Only when it's pouring out do I eat inside now that summer is here. I never stay in the house any longer than I have to.

I did a few more things after supper then I went for a walk on the side road heading North out of town. Walked to the canal and back and that was it for tonight. Already had a lot of steps under my belt with all my activities of today.

I kind of defeated the benefit of my exercise when I decided to head out to town for a soft ice-cream after. Oh well, all in all, it was a pretty good Sunday.
