So—I’m out with the weedwhacker getting the weeds that grow between curb and street, and it’s rough, and chewing up string like it’s going out of style. Thank goodness I took a break and got the ones in the walk all the way to the porch, before I continued—and ran out of string. I know I have 2 extra spools, and that buying weedwhacker spools is like buying doll clothes and model trains—model matters, and it’s a pita getting new ones. Can the spools be found? Nay, of course not.<\/p>\n
So…at least I got that. Changed Ari’s water. Daily. I hope I’m not delusional, but the wound looks just a tiny bit smaller. Perhaps it’s that the inflamation has gone. Or not. I’m not sure. But she eats like a horse. Just has a hole in her head the size of a quarter. Which may be trending smaller. Fish have amazing recuperative powers if you handle them with clean water and appropriate meds.<\/p>\n
No more from the raccoon. But the water’s trending colder, too, and the fish are only active in high sunlight.<\/p>\n
We’re making headway on the cleanup. I shredded some sunsetted records yesterday, several bags full: I’ll tell you, of household appliances, a good crosscut shredder that doesn’t overheat is an asset, in these days of identity theft.<\/p>\n
The waterlilies are trying to bloom again: Jane waded in and fed them little tablets. This is a good thing.<\/p>\n
And we can’t believe this weather. The 70’s, in mid-August. Winter may be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
