It was chilly and even windier on Friday. The damn wind,
which had been 10-20 mph sustained most of the week, now climbed to 15-30 mph.
I wore my jacket.
I walked outside, but I didn’t like it.
Vicky and I went to Time Out for lunch for their fish and
chips.
I think the official high here in Redford was 58 degrees. It
was completely overcast when I drove home.
The wind had knocked down a large branch that completely
blocked my driveway. So, I left the truck in the road, dragged the branch out
of the way and picked up the smaller branches that had broken off of it. Then I
could get in the garage.
I treated the cat and changed into my work clothes. I put on
my work jacket and went out front. Using the nut picker-upper wheel, I got all
the black walnuts in the front yard up. I started a new pile in the vacant lot
next door for the squirrels.
Speaking of which, the squirrels are started to p*ss me off!
They are taking the nuts and burying them for the winter in the easiest place
to dig: my mulch!
So, my beautiful smooth mulch is starting to look like the
surface of the moon!!! Sigh…
Plus, any they miss this winter (and squirrels suck at
remembering just where they buried them) I will have to weed out come spring.
Back inside, I made a cup of coffee to warm up and preheated
the oven. I warmed up the leftover fries (and myself) while I made another Slim
Jim sandwich.
I watched the preseason Red Wings game against Toronto – we won!!!
Then I went to bed.
I still think you should invest in a tree shaker and bring them all down at one time.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice, but probably out of my budget.
