~The Grass~

Chris called a week or so ago and said he was going to

cut the grass this first time then I would have to find some

one to cut it..after that.. I looked out the kitchen window this

morning and I could see a tire that had to have been to a

riding lawnmower. It was green. I waited most of the day

for Chris to phone or someone to come by and use it or

something.. You can see by the photo how badly my grass

needs to be cut..The guy across the street needs to cut

his as well..The yellow thingies are dandelions.. they are

a weed but they are pretty.
About 2 or so there was a knock on my door, and I thought

was Chris, I went and opened it cuz no one can hear me

yell come in when they are outside. Too much traffic I
think and too noisey.. Robert, the man from the COA that

shoveled for me, came by to ask about who was going

to cut my grass.. I told him Chris then it would be up to

me.. He said we could do it 2 ways, I pay him , 25.oo

or I can have COA pay him like for the shoveling.. I had

to let COA pay for it.. Theres no way I can afford that..
When he got here he sat for a few minutes and he asked

who did that riding lawn mower belong to.. I told him I had

no idea that I guessed was Chris's..but why just drop it

off and not say anything to me.. Well as I write this its still

out there..and its a green rider and its a John Deere which

is a good one.. Maybe someone is being smart with me

that read this when I said If I had a rider I would cut my own.

That would be funny. Well then I would have to learn to cut

my own grass...Robert cut the grass as you can see, he

didn't do the back yard and Chris can do that I hope..the

grass is long there too.. Dutch likes the shorter grass then

he can see the birds better.. They would love a bird feeder

out there.That is NOT a dirty window, but Dutch's reflection

hes looking down at a bird. The after photo is the next one, all
the dandelions are gone ...
Donnie came by and said its a nice rider, and If someone

did give that to me he was gonna borrow it. He has a big

yard too.. He said gas has gone up to 3.20 a gallon, and

his truck gets 7 miles to the gallon and he wants to go up

north in 2 weeks for a week end and go and hunt for

Morel mushrooms.. There are quite a few going he said,

Dawns parents and some of their friends..
They go out in the middle of the woods and take their

trailers and their 4 wheelers and just have a good time.

They all have generators and satelite dishes so they sure

do rough it :-) But they do know where to find those morels

they are like a black mushroom.. I don't like mushrooms at

all but they say these are really good. just sauted in butter.

I still don't like them lol..He gets lots of them and puts them

in the freezer..

I think I am getting or have a cold.. I have been sneezing all

day and my nose has been running so fast I cant catch it..

Lunch was really pitiful..I think was liver..and I don't like that

either..It can go with the carrots and celery. Donnie brought

me a one pound package of his beef that he bought.. That

fresh beef is just so good..Compared to how the stores

meat tastes this is just wonderful.. I will make some sauce

tomorrow .. Penny wont be here tomorrow she phoned a

little earlier and her grand daughter fell off the monkeybars

at school and broke her arm in 2 places..They will take her

tomorrow to have a cast put on..Shes not very old..Its so

hard when kids get hurt and I know this had to hurt. Penny

is taking her to the Dr. so she wont be coming here till on

saturday...I think I will make some chicken noodle soup..its

always good for a cold lol...so they say.. then its TV and

bed and sleep and so that means now its time to say

"Nitey Nite".... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and thanks..

ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe
