Each morning we've been trying to walk increasing the distance by a block or two nearly every day. It's been pretty dang warm, so some mornings we don't go far.
When we get back, it's time for morning happy hour with tea or Coke visiting with whomever of the neighbors are outside. Old neighbors are arriving every couple days.
Norman has been getting satellite dishes re-adjusted...fixing air conditioners...and repairing sprinkler systems, which are mostly clogged from the summer windstorms. Those neighbors, who have nice landscaping, leave some part of their systems on during the hot months to protect their plants.
As we were coming south, it donned on us, our lot will be full of weeds. What a pleasant surprise to arrive to a clean...weeded lot. So we have been 'paying it forward' by cleaning up a couple neighbors yards. In this picture you can see the piles of weeds, aguava prunings and we even trimmed the dead fronds from the two palms flanking the gate. A trip to the dump is in order in the next couple days.
Then today I finished four tote bags made from feed sacks which held horse food. I'll probably put them in the block-long garage sale we're planning for January. After the first one, they went together pretty quickly. I got the directions online.
We've also each finished at least one book. We're hoping for a bit cooler weather by the end of the week, then we'll be off into the desert on the quad or geocaching. It's just much too hot without any shade right now to do those things.
