June 27th - 103 Degrees!!!!

It was hot today but praise God the humidity was low. It did get down into the 60's last night. No more 60's in the forecast. Highs are forecast to be above 100 degrees for the next two days.

We worked outside this morning. Kathy used the chainsaw to cut down more of the bamboo while I did more weed eating. She didn't cut down as much as she did yesterday but we still had a decent truck load to haul back to the brush pile. I went through another tank of gas in the weed eater.

Kathy went to town to get prescriptions refilled, etc. I mowed the lawn. Boy do I miss my John Deere! The 54" deck would be way to big for here but it was 10 times as good a mower as this Craftsman. We don't actually have that much lawn to mow. My guess is that we will spend twice as much time "weed eating" as we will mowing.

The grounds around the house are starting to look decent. Once we get some type of small trailer we can start picking up all the trash wood that has been thrown on piles here and there. Another couple of mornings, after we get the small trailer, and the area around the house would be done. The area outside, and behind, the circle drive is another story. A couple of weeks and we might get it in shape. The same with the area around the "barn". And then there is the area around the pond, and the area around the lagoon and.....

The next two photos are the "front" yard. I took them while standing on the front porch. There is a circle drive around this section of lawn. April did some watering to keep this grass relatively green.

Left side.

Right side.


The following two photos were taken from the back deck. The first one is of the "upper" back yard. In the distance is the driveway that goes out to the highway, going to the right to get to the highway. The dry weather has taken its toll on this grass.
 Below is a photo of the pond plus part of the "lower" back yard. We know there are still fish in the pond because we occasionally see them "rolling."

Time for supper.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
