First - It has been HOT here, in the 90's every day, its 95 degrees now, at 3PM. Praise the Lord for AC! Highs Wed & Thur are forecast to be 93 degrees. Then down to 81 on Fri and 69 on Sat, before several days with highs in the mid 70's. We have had 1.5-2" of rain since we returned home but our pond is lower right now that it was when we got home. It's the lowest it has been while we have lived here, by far. Enough with the stinky weather.
Lydia & I went out for breakfast Saturday morning. It's the first time we have done that in a long time. We had a good time.
Sunday we had a couple I go to church with over for lunch. He is a retired construction worker, only 62. She retired from working in the court system but is back working part time. They bought a 33' Class C motorhome and have been doing some small trips. Jerry is chomping at the bit to do some serious sightseeing. Debbie is not quite as excited about extended trips. Kelsey, Andy & the kids came for leftovers for supper Sunday evening.
Tonight our Life Group is having a meal at the church and a work night. We are going to hang fabric on the back wall. Try to move the stage, in one piece, to the back wall and help, if we can, with moving sound system components.
When new neighbors moved into one of the houses at the top of our driveway, two years ago, I offered to cut down a couple of dead trees in their back yard. Tanners works nights, sleeps days, and that has been my excuse for not cutting them down yet. Last spring Brandy, Tanner's wife, asked Kathy if we were interested in helping them cut down some trees in their front yard. I said yes, just let us know when they were ready. The week before we left on vacation Brandy called to say they were ready. I said I wouldn't be ready until we got back. Last week she called to say they were ready so I went up and we marked three tress they want cut down. I found out Tanner is working 11PM-11AM this week so I went up yesterday and cut down the two smaller ones. You see the stumps in the photo below.
I loaded my tractor with all the wood I could put in the bucket and on the platform on the back, and there is still enough to fill the bucket again. By the time I got this far it was 10:30 and 80 degrees. I didn't get back up there this AM. Hopefully I will get up there tomorrow morning before it gets to hot.
The remaining tree is much larger, 24-30" diameter. It may be tall enough that part of it will fall on the road.
God is good, may He bless you and yours.
