August, here it comes

This is yesterday, the trimmers are coming today!!!
I called S & S tree service yesterday and made an appointment for them to come out this morning at 9:00 AM.  About an hour later Xcel, the power company, showed up in the back yard to trim branches away from the power lines!  I still think the backyard birch needs to be trimmed but I will find out in about 20 minutes.
Got my bike ride in this morning and again not all that long but it was fun.  I continue to enjoy my Bentley bike that Aaron built.
Terry and I had an unusual day yesterday.  We went to a movie, Dunkirk.  It had great reviews but I would give it a B at best.  It may have been over a year since we last went to a movie.  We need to do it more often.  Then in the evening there was the annual night out on Niles and Juno.  Betsy, who lives on Juno, organized it again for the 15th or so year.  I had never been to one as it often came during Servant Camp.  It was fun.  Our neighborhood has changed so much.  Terry and I are now one of the "old folks"!  There were so so many young kids and several baby bumps too.  I found out from more than one family that the paper delivery has not been the same since June of 2007!  When I think of the 29 years we did the paper I question my sanity but it was nice to hear comments of thanks from people.
It looks like one more kind of hot day and then a major cool down.  They are saying maybe a high in the 60s tomorrow.  I know Terry will be cold but for me it will be nice but I may need a jacket for my ride in the morning.
No, the tree people should be here in a few minutes so will drink the last of the FP and sign off for this morning.
