Looking good!

Not much to say today.  The garden is continuing to grow and we are experiencing the fruits of our labor!  It will take a while for the big tomatoes to come in but the little ones are coming in fairly fast now.  I think Terry almost has enough cucumbers to make a batch of pickles.

It is sister Helen's birthday today.  I am guessing she will spend time with friends.  If I remember right she said she never works on Wednesday so today should be fun.  I will call her later on.  In case you are wondering she turns 😁 today!!!

Terry and I took in the yearly block party last night.  It always is enjoyable to see people that I have known for some time and then to meet new people as well.  The best part was there were kids all over the place.  That is how Niles and Juno ave were 40 years ago, kids all over with a sprinkling of older folks.  NOW we are the sprinkling which is interesting to say the least.

Travis and I had our weekly breakfast this morning.  We went to The Egg & I.  If I were to grade it I would give it a B.  The place we went last week would be an A.

I have the sprinkler on for some of the lawn.  It is interesting as I look at the lawn.  It is NOT a "picture" kind of lawn but not really bad either.  If one were to go up and down Niles looking at lawns my lawn would certainly be in the top 25%.  The interesting part is I sodded about 40% of the lawn way back in 2010.  One can see today the difference.  The part that was not sodded is thin and looks like it is in need of more grass.  However I will not complain as several years ago that part was a little grass and a lot of dirt!

I sometimes have a trap out to see if I can relocate squirrels.  This morning I looked at the trap from the house and thought oh my there is something in it.  As I approached I saw that it was a raccoon.  It took me some time but I did get it relocated this morning.

The weather looks like it will be great the rest of the week and also will be that way for Servant Camp.  Terry and I will head down there tomorrow mid morning and stay for a couple of hours.  It is always fun to see people that I worked with over the years.

Enough for now.  I am enjoying my FP as I wrap this up.  I think I will have my FP each day Travis and I go out for breakfast.  I ordered coffee this morning and the cost was $3.75.  Enough of that so next week it will be early FP and water for breakfast.  One more sip of FP and then into the day I dive.
