MOM Visit!

Well, I went out Mom's today; she is getting to burn all the tree limbs and brush that had accumulated over several months of pruning. We have had some rain lately so the burn ban got lifted. It was getting a little scary there for a while; this year has been so dry up "til now. We are blessed for that rain that has been coming around. Mom is all alone now, but she is going strong at 75. She gave me some more beautiful plants and I am running out of room. Our apartment looks so much better with them. I will be so glad when we can finally get the country home that we want. If I can do well in the stock market, it will be a possibility before too long. Mom has a big yard and now it definitely needs mowing. We both get out there with the mowers and mow until we run out of gas or grass, whichever comes first. Even with the two of us, it can take days, because it gets hot pretty fast if you start in the morning. Also, the dew is so heavy sometimes you have to wait until evening when it cools off. It will work you hard and then there is the weed eating and chainsawing of huge dead limbs and trees. I have to admit, it is good exercise!
