1:32pm Just a quick break from outside stuff to jot a few notes. Today was Leslie’s 10K—hope she did well. Would have gone to see her but she had a social function to attend right after.
It’s a beautiful weather today! Full sun and warm enough for a tank top while working, although a light breeze keeps things moving. I’ve been weeding the plant bed along the corral, and earlier David & I planted evergreens & some misc trees in the front yard. He’s out planting trees in the north field now—I packed him a lunch and misc beverages so he could work uninterrupted.
Some cars running at *Mid-Ohio yesterday & today; you can hear the sounds but it’s not loud and not annoying.
Dad called @ noon today from Destin. It’s been a week since we last talked, and it sounds like their trip has been a blast. It was a brief chat just to get in touch—I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time later to swap stories.
1:41pm daylight’s a wastin’! Back outside.
7:52pm Just finished dinner (bratwurst and Caesar salad) and are relaxing now. I’ve asked David to write about whatever he wants:
“Planted trees in the N field & front yard today. Also watered trees in W field. Observed a turkey vulture while I was eating lunch. Very huge bird. Soared very high on the thermal air currents. Stream is almost dry already. Pump cycles on & off depending on depth of water in “hole”. Pond looks great—hope to keep at full enough now. Tina worked all day outside—cleaned up front flower bed; planted trees; prepped compost pile, etc. Lovely weather, light wind.”10:22pm Made an apple pie after dinner and I’m waiting for the timer to go off. Watching Dennis Quaid in “Everybody’s All American” on TV. Pretty decent movie. David’s watching “Star Wars” downstairs, and I can hear R2D2’s beeping (or is it C3PO?) (the sound travels a little too well through the ceiling/floor.)
Talked to Leslie @ 9:00; she said she ran 2 minutes faster than her time last year, and was fairly pleased. Said it was cold, @ 42*, as they were running right near Lake Erie. I think I like our temps & weather around here much better…More good weather forecast for tomorrow.

| This cardinal drove us NUTS for days. He would rap on the window repeatedly, and sometimes attack the "other bird" in the window. I think we blocked the windows with something so he couldn't see his reflection, so he moved to a different window. |
