I don't remember how early I got up. I
started reading e-mail, and recharged my i-pod. I set my water jug
outside in the sun. I folded drycleaner plastic in the bedroom. I
put away some stuff on the counter in the bathroom. I jumped on the
rebounder. I cleaned up the dirty dishes from yesterday, then juiced
sprouts, green beans, peppers and carrots. I took the juicer parts
outside to spray clean. I cleaned a small shelf in the fridge. I
listened to an audio during breakfast. I was trying to make my scarf
longer by taking out some stitches, when I noticed people in the
front yard. It was our neighbor cutting a dead tree on the edge of
the property and his son and a friend. The cable line was hanging
low like the the tree hit it. He offered to cut some dying limbs off
of one of our trees. Then we dragged the wood into a pile by the
street. He brought the pieces of his downed apple tree, too. And he
raised the wire back up to where it should be. I ran a cord from the
electrical box to run the leaf blower, but it didn't work. So I got
more cord and ran it from the back patio to the side yard. It didn't
work either until I gave it a good whack. I blew the leaves out of
the pine straw and put them in boxes. I carried the boxes to the
leaf pile with a hand cart. Then I raked up the pinestraw and put it
into the same two boxes, but wheeled them to the pinestraw pile. It
was nice to see that the leaf blower would move the leaves without
hurting the grass, unlike the rake. The man next door thinks I
should rake up the dead grass and plant grass seed. I wonder if
someone uphill from us put herbicide on their lawn and it washed down
to ours and is killing all the fall weeds that fill in for the summer
grass. After dumping the pinestraw, I picked up the pile of yard
debris at the far back and hauled it to the pile by the road. I put
the boxes and hand cart away. My back had had enough yard work. I
took pics of the beautiful leaves that had fallen in the back yard.
I picked a plaintain leaf and chewed it into a poultice for my tooth.
I read about the time change and wrote it on a sheet of paper which
I taped to the wall across from my bed. That way I will see it first
thing in the morning. I laid down for awhile. I ate some fish with
fermented cod liver oil, and kimchi. After reading e-mail, and
listening to another audio, I checked the mail and laid down. I got
up at 9 to post to my blog and maybe get some sewing in before bed.
