Make a Mess to Clean a Mess!
Mom used to clean the great big hall closet by taking EVERY
little thing out of it. She claimed that a person had to make a mess sometimes
to clean up a mess. Well, that must be my theory as well because cleaning out
the workshop has certainly turned into making a mess all around the outside of
it. Just cleaning the leaves and dirt out has been nearly impossible. Thought
about getting another water hose to just wash it out and push broom the mess
right on out the door. And may happen yet! But at least the corners are visible
now. Putting stuff back inside may get interesting. Still have to get all the
nails, screws, and assorted “Shtuff” sorted and put into some kind of bins.
Labeling them should be fun, too.
The wind has blown rather heartily today and the pollen
count is a medium 6 point something. Tomorrow the pollen count is supposed to
be less than one. Yeah, right. Believe that when we see it! But it is supposed
to get wet—somewhere. Know for sure that saline solution will be needed after
the shower tonight in order to remove some of that dust that covered me and
went up my nose while trying to sweep and remove the big stuff. Bleah. But at
least the trash bin is empty for right now.
Talked to Jennifer and she and her youngest may come up
tomorrow. Reece picked up something too heavy and ended up hurting himself. So,
we can’t let him mess with stuff. But he can at least enjoy playing with the
chicks. Will go get feed early tomorrow and pick up some worms—well, they look
like worms. Anyway, he can sit down in the coop and hand feed the little twerps.
If we go and check on him and find chicks all over him . . .
It got a bit warm today, but the wind kept it from being
too terrible. And it was not overly humid. The grass getting cut on Thursday
stirred up dust and mold, but the wind pretty well takes care of that after a
day. If we could get a two- or three-inch rain, the old woman might just go out
and dance in the stuff! The ground is cracking open. Feel sorry for folks who
have those cement slabs for a foundation. The ground cracks under them the same
as if they were not there. Then the folks have some problems—especially if any
plumbing is in that slab. Have heard of folks running water around their houses
to keep the ground from breaking open like that.
Well, glory be! Might have to go find my dancing shoes. We
have a severe weather alert until midnight. Praying for rain!
Sharon Dickerson sent me a picture from the barbecue event
they attended. She is looking SO much better. She really was in a mess there
for a bit. Think she has to go back into the hospital on the 13th to
have some stints removed. She is not happy about that, but at least she is not
sick.
Will be praying for travel mercies for my brother and my SIL
on their trip back to Arkansas tomorrow. Guess they will get home in time to
rest before they go to church Sunday. They are always doing something. Sterling
got to talking to some fellow at the camp grounds where they are staying. He
wanted to know what Sterling does. Funny question. He could have answered that
he was a practicing beer drinking, wood burning, brush-hogging non-farmer, but
he just showed the guy his little wooden airplane and gave it to him. The one
he gave me the other day is out on the post just flying high! This guy was
thrilled to get a plane. Not surprised.
Not sure anything else it going to be accomplished today.
Made banana nut muffins a bit ago, so breakfast is done except for the coffee.
Guess looking up the location of the thunder shirts would save me some time
later. Understand how they feel, but getting them trussed up is a pain! Oh
well.
Let’s pray for God’s mercy that the weather going through
right now will be a blessing and not a curse of damaging wind and hail. We
really need the rain. May we find favor in His eyes.
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
