Yet another day passes and my todo list just gets longer. Â Oh well.
I did get a chance to spend time in a park with the warm fall sun this afternoon. Â The publisher and the editor of the local daily newspaper wanted to meet and talk, so I suggested we meet in the park. Â We all thought the park was a great idea. Â Killed an hour talking to them and then had to head back to real work.
Molly, our dog, and I got in our nightly 5 mile walk again tonight. Â We try to do 5 miles in the morning or at night. Â Gets a bit harder when the snow and ice of winter arrive. Â Someday I’ll have to tell about how Molly came to live with us and how she spent a month in the penitentiary being trained by a multiple murderer, but for now it’s enough to add her smiling face. Â Not one of her better pictures, but you get the idea. Â At least it’s not her mug shot!
I’m still waiting for the first freeze here. Â The historical average here is for the first hard freeze to occur on or before October 10th. Â I suspect it may be later this year. Â Of course, this is Colorado, where the weather is unpredictable. Â One year it went from 73 degrees in the morning to 20 below and 2 feet of snow by midnight. Â I hated that year since it killed most of my apple trees.
BTW, for those who expressed concern for my lawnmower in my first post, there is good news I forgot to relay. Â Three parts costing a total of $6.25 and an hour of my time and the lawnmower is as good as new. Â All I have to do now is change the oil and drain the gas when the mowing season finally ends and it’ll be set for the winter.
