I went out to the yard with two tasks in mind – cut down the daisies that are done for the year and make another weeding trip around the patio blocks. I got started on the daisies and then Pat joined me and got out the hedge trimmers. He cut down the lilacs and a few patches of daisies and then did the remainder of the daisies that I was working on. He also trimmed back a few bushes, and cut the tops off the day lilies and irises. While he did that I weeded the daisy bed, the back corner where the fig is and started to work on the wall. I thought we would make a trip to the dump with our green waste tomorrow but since we had to pick up all those clippings anyway we loaded the truck and got it all done today. The patio bricks will have to wait for another day.

I’ve been working on one of my new projects this afternoon. I’m about half done but it is challenging me as it is set on point and that always confuses me. I’ll keep at it until our marathon of “stuff” begins in less than an hour.

Pat has an online Open Mic followed by a guitar lesson. Before he leaves for his guitar lesson we both need to log into his Zoom account so I’ll be ready for my training session at 6:15 followed by my last Board meeting at seven. Following the Board meeting Pat will log back on for a meeting with a couple of Board members regarding the Home Routes concerts. Pat will likely pick up something for supper after his guitar lesson and I’ll find something at home before my meetings start.

It is much less smoky today which is nice. The sun is shining but it isn’t as hot and, just now, we are having a little sunshine shower. That will help to lower the smoke even further and, fingers crossed, it will help slow down the fires that are burning.
