Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

Buppies- I hope and pray that you continue to mend.

Drew- Thanks for the +’s. A very high percentage of Primary Care Givers suffer from PTSD. For a variety of reasons I can relate. On the good my Wife is pulling it together for going out to dinner tonight at an amazing Asian Fusion restaurant that We frequent often. And as to dogs onions and other plants from the allium family and all nuts excepting peanuts which are legumes.

Mike- I am glad that the NY trip was a success.

Another hazy, hot, and humid day with a chance for afternoon/evening popup showers and/or T-storms and more similar days on the way until next Wednesday when this horrible weather pattern breaks down for a couple of days before redeveloping again. I got some seat time on the rider this morning mowing around the house and my "photo props" for the fireflies. HHH weather is ideal for fireflies which appeared + 1 week late and at reduced #'s (so far) according to my photo records this year.

I am definitely enjoying all the pictures of projects, property, gardens, family, pet, plant and animal presented here as well as all the posted interactions with neighbors both + and -.

Thanks for the support posted or not. Aging in place with loved ones can become challenging for those involved.

Mowed along a fence line I do not mow often and found the neighbor has dumped rocks over the fence

That sure isn’t neighborly.

One of my lot neighbors put a row of rocks on edge of road, next to his yard because one of the other neighbors got over in his yard to avoid potholes. The road is a little narrow there so I’m thinking he is being a little picky. Road maintenance came up in our discussion. Everyone seems to be looking for someone else to do it.

Dad lost his cane from the tractor while bush hogging a couple days ago. It probably got mowed. They looked and couldn’t find it. Then yesterday he lost his glasses while mowing.
My BIL looked but couldn’t find either.
He has finished mowing except a little area below the pond that won’t take 20 minutes. I’ve been tracking his going out and coming in times from my camera, so far about 55 hours to mow everything, including what I did.

Now at 56 hrs, he was out an hour today.
He found his glasses, on back porch.

Well I am sort of done for today. Those stings I got this AM are kind of swollen, and it's too hot outside.

For those cat lovers, I think you can appreciate this Hot Cat:


And those wonder what a cool million looks like:


I have a house full of endoskeleton Terminator types. Attitudes and weapons upgrades were standard issue.

Suspect he is poaching deers on our land. Fence wires are broken from pushing down on it.
If he wants dueling rocks I got him beat with 2000 lb rocks

Sure hope I have close to your dads spunk when I am close to his age.
