I made a list yesterday of three things I wanted to accomplish. One was painting Dekker’s present, another was planning a supper that didn’t require a stove, and third was to cut up some old jeans to one day make into an outside blanket. So after I wrote that, I got a call from my mom. She said “Guess what, we got an air conditioner!!!” So plans changed and we went for a visit. I didn’t paint Dekker’s gift, and my ovenless supper plan was to have supper at their house. But be proud of me here! I opted to leave the laptop at home and brought all the jeans and supplies I needed to start cutting squares! I still have maybe 3 pairs left to chop up but have over 100 squares. Random fact: Its nice to be skinny but it is annoying when your denim squares can only be 5″ across. Lame.
This morning our house is 22 degrees 😀 which is actually a pretty huge accomplishment! Now to keep it that way. Brady will go mow the lawn soon in blazing sun and I will play with Dekker downstairs. Our grass is so long! Its been so wet this year, our push mower would just get clogged if we mowed. So we don’t. Until its really bad, like today. Brady saw a snake in our grass a few days back so I’m pretty sure its time!
On the note of mowing, we have this new guy. He lives kitty corner to us, and he has a ride-on mower. Nice guy that he is, he mows the open lot next to our property. First thing in the morning. About every other day. I’ve debated going to the town office and asking what the quiet hours are, but who am I kidding? Our “first thing in the morning” is very different than everyone else’s. However, today, Saturday morning, he mowed and woke all of us up. Me, Brady, and Dekker. Thanks for nothing, new guy.
