Nice Cool Day

It was the perfect day today so far---- I got up at 6:30 and by 7 I was in the yard trimming and pulling weeds. I had to have a sweatshirt on because it was so cool. I can hardly believe that but it's true. :) I got 2 big trash containers full to the brim after pushing them down to get more in. It is starting to look better now and pretty soon I won't have any feelings of guilt for not taking care of my flowers like I should. You should just see my tree rose. It is full of buds again. Leo was fishing so he didn't help but after lunch he did cut the lawn so all is forgiven. He is taking 4 containers and a bucket to be recycled now. Its a good feeling to know the yard looks better. I raked up some spots in the front yesterday.... the spots where we may be losing grass because we didn't water it when it was so hot. Hope we don't have to reseed but it doesn't look promising. I just raked it up a little where it looked like hay so maybe it will get some air to the roots and if not I will have to rake it harder and put some seed in those spots and make sure its watered.... hope it comes back by itself.
After working in the yard I went to the store to take back a movie ( I got the wrong one) and then picked up some groceries for making peanut butter cookies with choc chips in them..... sounds good to me but I haven't made them yet. it is a recipe I found for a cookie with both my favorites in one cookie.... very good! Now if and when I make them I will have to make sure I don't eat too many... maybe I should freeze some or give some away... can't give them to the new neighbors because every time I go to say hi to them they turn their head or pretend they don't see me..... wonder what that is all about. I guess they have only one thing on their minds yet, moving is a big thing and takes all your time and energy I think. I noticed the neighbors accross the street have more stuff in their garage now and can't put their cars in again..... The other neighbors accross the street ( the ones that moved out before selling) are taking all their carpets out of their house today. I wonder if they are going to paint every room too. It will be a nice place for someone then won't it. Actually he is there telling the kids what to do. He did take the door off so they could remove the carpeting though.... what a guy.... haha
So thats it for today. Now I think I will go and read a little because my bones are aching from all the work I did today. Not used to it anymore I guess.
Hope you are having a great day, Sandra

It's nice to read about a normal neighborhood.  The cookies sure would be a nice welcome for the new neighbors.  Maybe they are just shy.

I think the cooler weather makes us feel more energetic.  It's been so hot all summer that all I've done is stay in the a/c and it's good to get outside again !  'On Ya'  - ma
