Today's News and Weather Report

Another really nice day, though the sun was slow in coming out. But it was so nice and warm when it did! :)

Yesterday, I was finally able to get some help just barely in time for clean-up day. A couple of young college guys stopped by and spent about 4 hours cleaning stuff up -- the 'grunt' kind of stuff, like cutting down some small trees and other heavy yard work. They brought a chainsaw, yay!! [I can do a lot of work, just not super-heavy stuff anymore as my back is iffy enough. And while my ankle is much better too, it still does twinge a bit. Ah well.] I have to admit that the yard hasn't looked this good in years.

The indoor cats and my little dog were most upset though I imagine it was due to all the noise and hearing people walking around the house. I did not tell them my plans! This was unauthorized! How dare I disrupt things like that! But all was forgiven once the noms came out, lol. And the outdoor cats basically disappeared until it started getting late afternoon/early evening because they don't want to miss last call for food.

So today I have been limping around, stiff and sore but feeling much better now that *something* was finally done! Whew! It will probably be an early night then, so I will be around more tomorrow.

TTYL!

I haven't done this one for awhile, so I thought I'd update it. Under the cut for size.
