5-31 Doing Odds and Ends Before the Rain

To Do List

The weatherman had predicted fog this morning, however, we woke up to overcast skies but no fog. I went to the weather channel and checked out when the rain was going to be here. It looked like it was going to be here about 2:00 or 3:00. Larry and I decided we would mow the yard and then go to town. I mowed and Larry weedeated, blew leaves and grass off the drive and porches, put bleach in the septic system and he did a little trimming on the trees. It took us about two hours, by the time we finished we were tired and it was time for lunch. We rested a little before I made lunch. After lunch we went to town to do a couple of errands. The first stop was the Temple Public Library to return a couple of books, make copies of a rebate for our air springs and they had a book on hold for us. The next stop was The Dollar Store to pick up some bleach for the septic system, each month it uses about two gallons. Then we swung by The Goodwill Store to check to see what they had. Larry wants to get some short sleeve shirts that button. We didn't find any so we went to The Scott and White Hospice Store where we found a couple. After buying the shirts we went home. Flo was recuperating from yesterdays swim so we didn't take her swimming but she still got to go for a ride with us. Since we were going to hang around the house for the rest of the day I did the laundry.

 The rain arrived at our house at 3:30. After doing our odds and ends we watched some YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched an episode of American Masters: The Day Carl Sandburg Died. It was a documentary about Carl Sandburg's. He was a writer and poet born Jan 6, 1878 and died Jul 22, 1967. Then we watched an episode of Independence Lens: Knocking, which was about the Jehovah's Witnesses. Both films were good. We had a relaxing evening.
