Today is another in a string of beautiful weather days. The sun is shining, the temperature is in the upper 60s/lower 70s, and spring flowers are blooming. It is nice to see cheerful daffodils and forsythia shrubs in bloom. The lawn is a mess, though, needing the first mowing of the season. I found out that one of the tires on the old John Deere is flat, so I hope I can get that taken off and fixed at the local tire shop before it closes. The wheels on our garden wagon are also flat. There are big piles of brush in our yard that need to be moved to the back, put in a big pile, and burned. The gardens are a mess as well. It looks like we live in Hicksville. Sigh. Keegan is coming home soon from an overnight stay at a friend’s house. I hope he had a good time. He deserves some time away from the stresses and strains of life here at our house. I expect that he’ll be pretty wiped out, though, because he and his friend promised to stay up to all hours of the night, playing video games and watching Star Wars movies.
