October sound

Predictably temperatures are cooling in my world. It has been dryer than usual. Night mist and morning fog has begun so grass is greening. And according to one of my neighbors, growing. I hear a lawnmower. I hear a lawnmower in October. Weird to me. In a bit hubby has agreed to do a mini walk with the rollator. We need to figure out if we can truly walk together using it before we head to our mini vacation in Victoria. I had thought of just using it as a steady help on our walk from the ferry to the bed and breakfast hotel. He brought up the idea of bringing it on our tourist trip up Government street. I'd rather try out the rollator than mow the lawn!

I hope the tryout goes well. It’s definitely a better idea than mowing the lawn!

@AmbiePam Truth? It's sunny and sweet out. The try out left me worried about our excursion.

@sallypup Uh-oh. I sure wish I had some helpful suggestions. But if anyone can figure out how to make it work, it just might be you.

It's a good idea to try it out. We will mow tomorrow. We often mow at least once in October.

it is getting cooler too here with intermittent rain. I am enjoying the weather more now. But lately it has been unpredictable, with sudden outbursts of rain

A lawnmower in October is wild, ours is done for the year already. Good idea to test the rollator before the trip, better to find out now than halfway up Government Street. Hope the walk goes well and you two enjoy Victoria.

@Wrexxo Thanks. You're right. Better to know now than later. I think we are not taking the rollator.

I've seen a couple elderly ladies use one of those at Costco a few years ago, they walk a bit then sit a bit then walk some more. They seem purdy happy all things considered.

I hope the walk goes well. Vince mows our lawn but it's tiny and takes all of five minutes.
