more yard work today - sure could use that bear
Nope! Still more to do around here, but I am absolutely enjoying the long-awaited
break in 45-50 bags of leaves from years past. That ONE tree being gone is making
all the difference. 17 (I think) last year, 7 so far this year.

Good "Muddy Monday" to everybody. In my morning haze, while listening to the
local weather, I believe it was said over 6" of rain in the last 10 days. We had
hours-long lightning storms last night (which Clare does NOT like).
..........
No Sheba this morning, and day 2 with no Oreo. Nothing out of the ordinary, but
I always wonder where they are when not waiting for their food. And their little
heated kitty-hut is out and waiting for occupancy.
..........
Just one minor rant. I raked the back yard (again) on Saturday, and even went a
couple feet over the property line. It was VERY well-delineated given all the leaves.
The old-lady-grandson comes out (FINALLY) with his big ol' riding mower (nuclear-
powered, by the way) with the discharge pointing OFF his property for the first few
passes. Put all those chopped-up leaves on MY side. So, with him still out there, I
went out with a rake and put them all BACK on HIS side... flinging wildly and much
disdain, along with a few

s. He needs a crash course on "good neighbor policy".

Still no word on the bathroom floor.
