Windy Weather and Allergies

Today was a busy day.  First on the agenda was going to the lab to have blood drawn.  I have a doctor appointment next Wednesday.  I then headed to Barnes and Noble and bought a couple of books that I have been waiting for.  Then on to Walmart to get a few necessities.  Next was home for lunch.  Boy, was I hungry since I didn’t have breakfast.  Lab work was fasting.

After lunch I started mowing the third section (as you know I mow grass in sections since my yard is so big) and when I was about half finished I ran out of gas.  Of course, the mower was in the front of the yard.  Kevin has these really big gas cans and I cannot lift them, so the mower had to sit where it was until Kevin got home.  He filled the mower for me, and I finished all of my grass.  He is mowing the backyard.

That’s it for tonight.  I am pooped!

Another windy day.  Both yesterday and today we have been under a wind advisory.  It can stop now.  It is so miserable I don’t even want to go outside.  However, I did go out in the back yard and take some pictures of the garden and orchard.  The garden is doing great and so is the orchard.  In fact, we have apples, peaches and lemons on the trees in the orchard.  The garden is producing all kinds of veggies.  If you check karsakerfarm.com you will see some pictures.  Our pecan trees are not doing well.  One has leaves, two have buds and the other three have nothing. 

I have spent the rest of the day doing inside fun work – dishes, etc.  I did make a couple of phone calls.  I have been researching a few genealogy classes that I am interested in taking.  There are four that I will probably take this month. 

Good Morning!  The wind is blowing again.  I have had enough of this.  I have a lot of work to do in the yard, but I can’t breathe with the wind blowing like it is.  However, I did water my plants and new trees in the front yard this morning.  Everything is looking good except the one potted plant on my deck.  I have moved it so it is out of the wind and I hope it will recover.

It was mostly an indoor kind of day which means I did my laundry.  I also did some reading and basically took it easy.  This evening I started watching the truck race.  I like that race because it is usually exciting.  They were racing in Kansas City so they started later than normal.  I lasted until about 10:15. By that time they still had over a hundred laps to go because of seven cautions.  I decided to go to bed since I was lucky to keep my eyes open.

Another warm and sunny day.  The wind is not blowing as hard so I decided to do some weeding after I did my morning chores.  I finished one area and then decided to call it quits for a while.  Kevin is out back weeding his garden.  Renea is shopping with Stephanie.  I plan on watching the Kentucky Derby later this afternoon.  I don’t know a thing about any of the horses, I just like watching them run.  Tonight I will watch the Sprint race.  Hopefully, I will be able to stay awake.

Made it to the end of the race!
