5-30-03: Burly Girl

Friday, May 30 2003

After coming back from Galion yesterday, we had lunch then went for a motorcycle ride to enjoy the warm temperature. Headed toward the Loudonville area to check out a property for Lars. (Cheri Mott had faxed the info).

This time, the site we viewed fit all the parameters, and today I called Lars on his 2:00 break to tell him about it. Hard to judge how he's thinking about the whole thing, but we're glad to help him out if we can. Hope he calls us back to see about looking at the property.

Have been trying to get Dr's appointments for both of us - David only has a few days supply of his blood pressure meds.

Token graphic because I had no photos for this post...

Weather today was warm & mostly sunny. I got up for the dogs @ 7:30am and stayed up, reading in the sunroom. Let David sleep in, and prepared bacon, eggs & toast.

Later he headed out with the chainsaw and worked on the downed tree limb in the North field (lightning damage). He had quite a stack of wood just from that one branch. I spent time in the West field clipping grass away from the tree plantings, and working with Vince & Tessa on their field etiquette.

After a break for pop, David decided to put his plan in action for the planting area in the West field. The grass was quite high, so he weed-whacked it first (1/2 of the site) then used the tiller to break up the sod. Took two turns with the tiller to get it done.

I used the "screen" to filter out rocks & leftover sod from the hills I plan to plant pumpkins, melons, etc.  After a quickie training session, I also used the weed trimmer to cut down the other half of the site. What a burly girl!

Made chicken enchiladas & pork burritos for dinner. Received a thank-you email from [J], and thank-you card from Leslie.
