I had Daniel come mow

It was sooner than I wanted, but all the rain made it necessary.
While he was here I gave him some old lawn furniture to fix up. . . wrought iron chairs and table base that are more than fifty years old. I also gave him some modern yard chairs that need cushions and painting. It is really helpful to have him removing some things.
It costs money, but I have it, and he works hard, does extra things for me and he earns it.
I have also hired him to remove some small trees that have grown up while I could not keep up with them. He was anxious to get started and is out there with a chain saw right now. A storm came over right before he came. He has already taken one load to the city burn pile.
Bob and I got up not too early. We went to Braum's for breakfast, then Meridian Market, which sells distressed freight, bulk spices and baking supplies. I went there first, then to Dillons. I got a very good stock up done, and it is all put away now.
I would be tempted to nap, but the chain saw is loud.

I'm glad he's getting all the extra stuff done for you. One of the neighbor's sons offered to do work like that for us but Pretty told him no. *shrug*

That's good that you have some to do the work. It will be very satisfying when it's done.

I know how that feels. In my case, on days when there are a lot of chainsaws or a lawn mower running, it's like the noise itself takes a lot of energy out of me and makes me tired. Hard to explain.
