Exercise and Such.

 Exercise and Such.

 

Woke up ambitious this morning. Especially since Sylvia got me up at 5:30. Went back to sleep after unfastening the coop doors and did not wake up until nearly nine!!! Good grief! Went out and gave the girls grain and took the zero turn and the push mower out of the workshop. Took the push mower down to Patty’s and mowed a bunch of green grass. The grass clippings went over my fence for the girls’ nibbling happiness. They like that stuff. Then went over to 4412 Kell West and got some blood work done. Love that place and how easy it is to get in and out. Plus, the stick was so gentle! That is unusual enough. Did not even bruise!

 

Had a package of raspberries with my shredded wheat this morning after getting back home. Love raspberries, but the seeds are SO not fun in my teeth. It reminds me of eating anything fried with cornmeal—gritty stuff in my teethers. Oh well. Gripe, moan, and groan. Have another package of chicken breasts out to thaw and cook sometime today. May have to make a batch of chicken salad with some grapes purchased from United the other day. Had that in mind when they found their way into my buggy.

 

Stephen Smith told me to try over at Harbor Freight for a trickle battery charger that would remain on the zero turn. Asked him if it would be the sort of thing that a non-mechanically inclined person could manage. “Of course. It’s simple!” Somehow what is simple to some folks is not so simple to me. Just sayin’. But Harbor Freight has all kinds of interesting things in their store. Might have to get another bushel basket of scissors!! Maybe they might have mechanical can openers!

So, it is supposedly 95 degrees outside. Certainly feels hotter than that. The chickens are all cluttered up under the deck. It has to be cooler there than out in the sunshine. Thompson even came inside to cool off in the office under the AC.

 

Today has made me happy to be able to walk around and enjoy being able to do things. Met up with a guy at the medical office who is a farmer. He was using a cane and said he was still running about 75 head of mother cows, raising wheat, and losing the cotton crop. He looked a bit older than the old woman, but he still was getting up and down well enough. We just have to be thankful for each of the abilities that God sees fit to give us. Living in this world can make a person frightened to think we are alone, but to tell the truth, we are NEVER alone. God is always with us.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
