I was planning to sleep in this morning. Went out early, just before dawn and let the chickens out so they would be quiet and not asking to be let out at the usual time (7 am). But then at 7:15 S called me so I really didn't get the full benefit of a sleep-in. Poor S. Suffers from mental distress and her life is always in misery. I've loaned her ( Read more... )

Dave's new truck (2023 Tacoma) arrived and we picked it up on Friday. That took up a lot of our day to drive up to Meadville and wait around while papers were signed and then we went on little joy rides in it to get to know its features. The most modern car we had before was my Brownie car (2011) and there have been lots of advances since then. ( Read more... )

The ginkgoes are changing. They are late this year I think, and not as bright as other years. Many pix:( Read more... )

Walked in the cemetery yesterday morning before the OA meeting. Came home, had lunch and then in the afternoon Dave wanted to do some shopping at Home Depot for a project he's working on so I went along.

Such a beautiful evening. If it wasn't so far away I'd go there again and ( Read more... )

I dropped Rainy off for her haircut this afternoon and had an hour and a quarter time to kill so I walked up in the Franklin Cemetery. I didn't want to walk on the regular roads in the sun so I skirted the whole cemetery keeping to the edges where there was shade, seeing things from a different view point than I usually do. A few pictures:( Read more... )

I had a nice walk at the cemetery yesterday morning. The weather was perfect. I'm sorry for the rest of the country having extremely hot weather but (knock on wood) we are having perfect weather. The farmers could use some rain though. Fortunately Dave got the water line installed down to his garden so he can water it now.
