Turned out they wanted us to pull the fenceposts, too. I don’t think we’d have had it in us. We’re exhausted. And of course it turns cold, and we get a 25 mph gust with promise of rain…as they’re setting the concrete.<\/p>\n
We turned out to have to move 3 large peonies that are in bud. Sigh. They won’t like that.<\/p>\n
And we’ve collected a stray yellow dog, and a good thing Jane understands dogs. She got his collar and has dropped a notice on his owner’s phone as to where he is. He’s new in the neighborhood. And chewed through his tie and joined us to find out what all the jackhammering is about. Unfortunately we live on a major street, and it’s dangerous for him to run loose. We’ve tied him up to await his owner. [Cats I can figure. Dogs are a bit of a mystery to me. But he’s a nice and somewhat worried dog, and trying to be a good fellow.] <\/p>\n
The skies have cleared now…we didn’t get the eclipse last night because of the cloud. But here’s hoping it warms a bit…for one thing, to help the concrete set.<\/p>\n
I had to go to Home Depot to pick up the fencing because I couldn’t find the receipt to give to the fence guy for him to do it…they bring it out with a forklift with a guy with flags, right down the aisle. And thanks to a huge flatbed trailer, we got here ok. I sure couldn’t have hauled even one piece of that in the Prius, good as its cargo area is.<\/p>\n
It’s 2:30 and they almost have the west side done…which is the short side. Hopefully, things will go faster on the east side.<\/p>\n
Jane and have decreed no cooking tonight. We’re going out.<\/p>\n
I’m sitting here in the house freezing, in a down coat. I get chilled, I think because I’m so over-tired, when I go out there to see how things are. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
