Summer has arrived on the prairie. It was 95 today with a hot wind. The yard is getting cracks in it again.
I went out and mowed three different times today and finally got it done. Sitting on the riding mower isn’t too hot but after an hour or so I would come in and take a break. Glad to have the mowing done. Unless we get some rain I doubt that I will need to mow again for a bit.
Took a short nap this afternoon. I have had tummy cramps most of the day and they are wearing me out. I can’t decide if I should eat or go back to a liquid diet. Sometimes if I eat they get better and sometimes eating makes them worse.
I fixed a pot roast for dinner tonight. Have way too many leftovers. I asked the butcher to cut the roast smaller next time if possible. We have trouble eating it all up. The flavor was really good but it was too rich for me to eat much of it.
I mowed a bit of the rocky ledge today. There is a plant that has fiberglass like fibers that fly all over when I cut the plant down. I took a shower when I was done mowing but am still finding little pieces of those fibers on my hands. I can feel them but can’t see them. I need to remember to wear gloves when I finish mowing the rest of them.
No plans for tomorrow. I will get some more cleaning done and start pulling things out I want to take to CO. I have a long list of things I am going to take.
Jim checked the temperature at the Y Camp and the high was 75 today. That sounds so nice! I will be glad to escape this heat. I need to remember to take some long sleeve shirts and pants as it gets too cool for me in the evenings there.
Last night after I took my bath I sat outside on the glider for a bit and enjoyed the full moon. It was a clear night and the moon created beautiful moon shadows across the prairie.
I need to check with the grandkids and see how there cookie supply is holding up. I may be baking cookies tomorrow to stock them up for the time we will be gone. I need to bake another batch of Snickerdoodles for Jim so we have enough to last him for three weeks.
Grateful the mowing is done, grateful for a crock pot, and grateful for showers that cool me down after mowing.
