How could you not love the morning?
Turning green!
The first thing I noticed was just how brightly the moon was shining in the morning sky. Already, the full moon of last Thursday is waning and is barely more than half a moon. At 5:30am its location was almost directly overhead but in the southern sky.
After a round of exercise that included the usual sit-ups, push-ups, and curls I leashed up Ykraps and ventured out of doors for a much anticipated walk about the neighborhood. We took our time as the weather conditions were ideal. It should be noted that we didn’t get any rain over night and none was expected.
Our return was welcome and the coffee was hot and delicious. After my first cup of coffee I found my way to my favorite spot for meditation. I was done by 6:30am. I sent Mindy a quick email then took to making my breakfast and lunch. Next, I was off to the shower.
Before leaving for work, I found a few minutes for a mini-photo shoot. Still a little chilly for a comfortable BM’er ride, I chose instead to drive the Trooper to work.
I arrived to work on time, as usual. And like a repeat record, we were very busy and very focused. The day absolutely flew by. We were so busy that I didn’t leave for my run until almost 2:30pm. The upside was that the day was practically done and the day warm. It was a great, sunny, spring day run. After my run, somewhere near 3:30pm I found my way back to my office where I enjoyed the lunch I had packed leaving with a relatively full stomach at the work day’s end.
I was excited about getting home at a reasonable hour and taking care of the first cut of my lawn. On the way I stopped at Home Depot to pick-up yet another fuel container specifically for my weed wacker since I recently discovered that it requires a weaker mixture of gasoline and oil than my other 2-cycle lawn tools. Since adding fresh gas and less oil, it runs great!
Once home I knocked out my chores with expediency so that I could get to my lawn. I knew because of the still saturated rear lawn that I wouldn’t be using my tractor for not wanting to leave any new ruts in its new spread. Besides, I like doing the push mower thing the first few times anyhow. I took the time to wack, edge, and cut – about two hours all told. The edging is always tough first time out because the groove that the blade forms over the growing season begins anew.
I saw Mindy’s friend Amy while cutting the lawn. She was out walking her three young children and hanging out on the bridge over the pond just as many folks do this time of year.
I finished working in the yard around 8pm and headed straight for the shower. I had ‘lawn fleck’ all over my body. After my shower I needed some nutrition. Because I have amassed a great deal of leftovers in the fridge, I made my dinner form those. I had a giant burrito, which I found very satisfying.
After dinner I played guitar, updated my blog, and talked with Mindy. I was tired and went to bed even before 10pm in hopes of a long restful night’s sleep.
