A Small Helper

 

We've had some windy days here in advance of the rainy weather we are now having.  I took this picture a couple days ago.  Our neighbor has a huge pin oak tree that drops clusters of little acorns into our yard every time there is a breeze.  The other day it dropped many.  And this little squirrel helped do cleanup, with Finnigan supervising.

Finnigan needed a new distraction.  He misses Angus as much as we do.  Finn has been pretty clingy, but he is doing okay.  Les and I are doing a little better.  We really miss Angus but we know he isn't in pain any longer.  We also know that the doctors did everything they could for him.

Having said all that, there were a couple rough weeks here what with Les in the hospital, going to follow-up appointments and other appointments, then  saying good-bye to Angus.  But we are doing okay.  We got our Covid boosters and will get our flu vaccines next week.

We needed to get our yard ready for aeration and seeding, etc. and had to mark all the sprinkler heads.  Les stayed by the control panel and turned each zone on one at a time.  I went around and stuck the flags in.  Then came in a showered and dried off. Needless to say, this is a wet  job!  We had bits and pieces picked up and all was ready.  Then the wind and rain started.  We have no idea when this week the guys are coming to do the work.  But it's as ready as it is going to get.

Please take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Life is still good.  God Bless America!
