Watching grandchildren is both fun and physically taxing. I always feel it that evening and the next morning. But the memories and mental rewards are worth it.
Before I even ventured to their home Wednesday morning, I was tired. And Wednesday night with my best friends seemed like a good idea at the time. Stayed out too late. Good thing I’m retired and could sleep in.
Thursday was spent outside with the yard. Yep, Mother Nature has been growing away with abandon. And while my better half makes some beautiful gardens, one might not be able to see them if I don’t cut the forest of grass in front and around them.
I’ve wrapped up the outside effort and returned to my hobbies last night and early this morning.
I have to have a game plan for a grandson later today who will want to ride the tractor, use the hedge clippers and post hole digger. Oh, and he spied my chainsaw the last time he was here. He loves to watch any type of tool, truck or construction equipment.
Speaking of maintaining the grounds, I hear the Orioles head groundskeeper is moving on after 20 years to the Maryland Department of Agriculture as assistant secretary of plant industries and pest management.
Again, women succeeding at the highest levels.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- Sometimes I’ll just look at my Ring camera on the phone and turn the sound on and listen to the birds talk and sing in the morning.
- Too many things are in small print.
- The best way to not complain about traffic is not to be in it.
- Looking for that ray of hope each day. Sometimes I find it, sometimes I don’t.
- And with the temps in the upper 80s next week, it officially is the opening of power washing season.
