A warm morning and beginning of two warm days, 78 today and 80 tomorrow.
Bad leg cramps last night from overdoing it yesterday put me into the hot tub at 1:30am and
when the cramps went away I was able to enjoy a beautiful night. Bright full moon, mid 50's out, smelling
mildly like bromine I came in and went right to sleep.
Today is paint day. Going to get the little Massey painting finished, but first....put my small phd on late yesterday so this morning I am drilling holes for shrubs and trees. I can get into a bunch of small places I couldn't before with the small tractor and phd, and no way I'm manually digging in solid tree roots. The phd patiently just chews its way through. I run it just above idle to save shear pins; sandy soil easy to drill once the roots are passed. One thing drilling holes with a phd does is give you an instant water retention ring, so I always use a size larger bit.
It's sad but I couldn't help remembering the awful feeling of reaching over for my wife in the morning and the bed was empty. No warm arm or hand to hold. That natural gesture we use to hold and treasure what we love so much. Randy is having a very tough time this morning I'm sure. Am hoping lots of his family is in to help him.
