Well this month is half gone already and we are about 2 1/2 months out from when we head north to the mountains. I'm looking forward to seeing the mountains, hiking them as well and breathing that fresh air and just being surrounded by everything GOD made. I sure hope all goes well so that we can get there again for the summer months as the heat and humidity is over bearing here except for last week end which was very unusual.
Monday found me working outside for most of the morning doing some more yard and garden work and some piddly chores. Now that I have the pump working properly that is one more chore I needed to complete before we headed north. I worked on the shrubs and the vines on the fence and the front porch. Nancy wants me to take out the Confederate Jasmine on the front porch because it grows so fast and is a chore for Amy to keep trimmed while we are in the mountains. I'm not totally on board as this vine has been there since before we bought the house in '79 and I love the smell when its in full bloom, oh well. I did cut it back but we will see.
Nancy took Amy and Ava shopping for their birthdays and then they all came here along with the moose Rocky for lunch. He is a big dog and so full of energy. I had him in the back yard with me for most of the time while I read for an hour or so. The kiddo's love this animal and he them but I would say he weighs close to 120 pounds or more and his tail is like a boom when he starts twisting and swinging it with excitement. He is a sweet dog thankfully, but oh so big and his face is menacing to say the least.
We had leftovers from Sunday for supper which were excellent and then we settled into the news of which is very sad to see the folks of Ukraine being slaughtered and displaced from the country. We have such a poor and inept leader who is afraid of Putin and now watch the Chinese will do the same thing in Taiwan. We are no longer the model for the world on freedoms, liberties and being secure from dictators. GOD help US(A), LATER
