Late August At Home

The last weekend in August has arrived and our heroine is closing in on the end of her outside work, thankfully.

When she got home from work on Friday it was pouring rain so outside work was not in the question.

Previously she had sanded and patched the front door trim with some wood putty. Now she sanded the trim and got it ready for a new coat of paint.

A little while later it looked like Miss Bit (our late Border Collie) had never tried to chew her way out of the house one day. Notice in the background is a large can of polyurethane. Our heroine also put a coat of that on all the tongue and groove wood on the porch.

Those projects done our heroine dragged a 50-pound bag of dog food to the laundry where it need to be put into plastic buckets for ease of serving. Morgan and Kele have learned that hanging around this process is a good thing as somehow a few pieces of kibble always seem to miss the buckets and hit the floor.

Saturday dawned beautiful and sunny. Our heroine fire up the lawn mower and cut the front yard.

Then she went down the driveway and between all the bushes,,,,at least to the best of her ability.

Next she went out to the wood pile and got ready to move more of the wood over to the other side of the house.

She moved a load of wood and started a new pile since the woodshed is full.

When she quit for the day she had her faithful companion Tonto (the tractor) all loaded up and ready for the next weekend.

Being quite intelligent our heroine would move a load from one side of the house to the other and instead of an empty tractor bucket going for a new load to be moved, she would stop at the front door and unload some wood so she would be ready for the cooler nights. This wood came out of the wood shed.

Sunday was another sunny day. Our heroine usually does not mow, run the weedeater or the tractor on Sundays. So while she was puttering about in the house Kele went out to work on her suntan.

Soon she was joined by her best friend Morgan.

It was a great weekend.
