I am reading Savage Run by C.J. Box.

Mostly sunny today and warm with temps in the low 80’s. Chance of thunderstorms tonight but I hope we don’t get them. We do not need anymore rain.

Outdoor chores this morning. I used the blower to clean off the porch and sidewalk then picked up the sticks and limbs from the storm. Lot of small branches from the pines. Cut off all the tall stalks knocked flat on the Rose of Sharon bushes. The wind broke of half of one of my bushes in the back corner. I left the rest of the bush for now to see if it makes it.

The small stuff and leaves will get ground up when James mows.

James tried twice yesterday afternoon to get the yard mowed. He was in town where it was not raining finishing up those yards and came on to my house about the time I was on my way back from Winston.

When he got here it managed to get a couple of rows mowed when it started storming and he had to stop. He came around 3:30 yesterday afternoon when it looked like the storms had moved through. He mowed the front and back had started on the side when it started thundering, lightening and raining so he had to quit again.

He came back this morning just as I was going out to do some weeding and spray Roundup along the natural areas. While he mowed and edged I did my gardening chores.

After he left I finished up, took my shower, and headed into town to pick up books at the library and stop at the bookstore to talk to Pat.

Warm again today with a chance of afternoon evening thunderstorms
