I slept very well last night and was not up until nearly 6:00AM. I made my bed, as usual, and got dressed and ready for the day. I don't have anything on the agenda today. Tomorrow will be busy. I will have my hair appointment in the morning and Bunco in the afternoon. I may go to the library here today and get some hard cover books. Kindle is charging me a little for their downloads usually $1.99. The library books would be free and just a few blocks away.
Scruff was here for her breakfast but she just ate a little and left. I didn't see anything of Blondie this morning.
I just finished my breakfast and am having my coffee now.
More later..I want to go check on the weather next.
Just as I turned on the TV, "the weather on the 8's" came on, I grabbed my phone and took photos of the forecast. Wow! that was pretty quick.
Today is going to be 63 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday will be 62 degrees and AM rain, Thursday is to be 48 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday should be 53 degrees and sunny, Saturday should be 48 degrees and PM showers, Sunday should be 49 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday should be 48 degrees and mostly cloudy. That's the week and I see the ice that was there in the forecast yesterday is gone now. What can I say....this is Kansas.
I took my walk about 30 Minutes ago and took a trash sack with me..thank goodness! It was packed full of trash from the street and people's front yards. More then ever before! I could have used two trash sacks. I have missed my walk for a couple of days and I could really tell it. The mess told it! I don't understand why these people don't have any community pride. It's a mystery!
More even later...
If it warms up enough, I will rake again. I will start with the back yard...again.The recent winds played havoc with my clean raked back yard. I had done a little bit with the front but barely scratched the surfaces.
More later ....
I started working on raking the front yard this morning. I got about 1/3 of it done before I wore out. Then I went down to Copan Truck Stop and had their small chef salad for my lunch. As usual, it was very good! I called Sally to see if she wanted to go too but she evidently was gone somewhere with someone else. She never answered her phone and I went by and rang her doorbell since her car was there but she didn't answer that either so I assumed she was out with someone else and went by myself. It's always a good healthy lunch.
After I got back from lunch, I started raking again in the front yard. There were lots of leaves under the hedge and I did the best I could to get them raked out but I may have to use the blower to get the rest of them out from under that hedge. That will be a mess because they would bow over the part of the yard I have raked and cleaned up. I was going to use my Toro leaf vacuum but I hooked it up but could not get it to work. Aggravating enough...I used it last year and it worked just fine.
I got Kylie's birthday card back. I evidently used the wrong address. I will check my records and see if I have a different address on one of my computers. I thought when Christina gave me their new address, I put on my mailing list for birthdays and Christmas cards.
I will check. I see on facebook that Kyle made Major.
No, I sent that birthday card to the only address I had on my list. I must have forgotten to change it when she e-mailed me about it. What a bummer! I have tried e-mailing her. Maybe when she's free she will send it to me again.
I will go the the library now. Maybe I can find a couple of books there that I haven't read.
I did check out two books at the library. I started reading one of them this afternoon and read for an hour or so.Then I watched the CBS news and then decided to take my bath early. I just finished it and it's only 6:45PM. I worked hard today raking leaves in the front yard. I am nowhere near finished but I have a busy day tomorrow with my hair appointment early and I think it's my color and cut. Then in the afternoon, I have Bunco at the senior center and I am in charge this week. Thursday Leslie and I will go back to Independence and get the new hearing aides. It seems I did qualify for them after all.
I went to the market this afternoon and bought celery for my Waldorf salad for Sunday's basket dinner at church. I also bought a treat for tomorrow's Bunco. It's only 6:50PM so I probably go back to my book until 9:00PM when I generally go to bed.

Hi Margie, you are encouraging me to start picking up along a sidewalk that runs across the cemetery that is located about 3 blocks from my house. It had a lot of litter last year that was never picked up. This spring/summer, I will do the same as you in picking the litter up when I take my dog on his walk. I will try and pick up a small bag of litter each day until it has all been picked up. Too much snow here to do anything right now. It may take all summer to get that long two block sidewalk cleaned. ha!
Sounds like a good plan though!
