Cool Down

 Good morning Monday,

  We are in a cool down-feels sooo wonderful. Larry has just two physical therapy sessions left-so I swept the outdoors steps off from leaves and twigs, and wow the cool air felt sooo good.  It was too hot and humid here all summer so he didn't get outdoors much for his therapy. We will need to wait several months again before he can ask for more. Should have thought to cancel the summer sessions for fall weather instead.

  Larry had found the perfect lift on ebay-good price, newer, looks nicer etc. but our guys weren't able to go and get it for us-bummer. It is about a 5 hour drive both ways.(Larry pays them but they were tied up with other jobs)  I wish we could have gotten this one-and then put the one that is not working in the back of the house. oh well such is life.

  I need a big grocery shopping trip so hope to do that tomorrow morning early. We have days in the 70's F this week too so am hoping to get the area ready to transplant the ornamental grasses down by the lake. This looks like a good week to do that-and then hopefully some rain.  We have not gotten any rain for the month of August.

 No photos to share-all my perennials are all dried up so no flowers to share, the grass has gone brown-fine with me haha hopefully no more cutting grass this year. After Labor Day weekend the lake will be back to peace and quiet-more waterfowl will return and usually no more noisy boats. I am hoping we will see the eagle pair again. I think they got spooked when the new owners of that property trimmed all the brush out and cut out dead limbs etc. Hoping they didn't move to another spot.

 I did get more spinning done while having the Shootout on the tv-live here at the lake. They moved it down further from us and in a much better location. So we didn't have as much speed boat traffic on the lake where we are-a good thing as they get the docks bouncing too much. They are very loud as well. The weather dropped from the high 90's to the mid 80's so good weather and safer too for the spectators.

The children here are already back to school-when I was a kid we did not go back to school til after Labor Day

  Happy new week!
