Spring comes late to Delaware county and we've a a few warm days, but not more than two in a row and not more than twice. But today was the exception. It started off chilly with an overnight low in the mid 40s, but it warmed up by 10a.m. and I got back to where I left off yesterday outdoors--mowing the last 10 feet of lawn.

Thirty or 40% chance of rain used to mean none, but now it means storms all afternoon. I went back to mowing twice yesterday but finally had to give up with a few feet to go. I got the Yaris clean and the mower clean and then I finally began to plant the garden.

I was so tempted to go back out after dinner to finish planting, but I get too tired these days. That's off the subject, but the doc and I both suspect that my BiPAP machine for sleep apnea isn't working quite right, probably losing pressure with age. So I sleep, but not well enough to wake up bright eyed and pushy tailed.

I forgot to go to the open house at the shelter yesterday. It's mainly to get pets adopted, but we're dog walkers, so it would have been nice to shop up. They were also dedicating this year's pavers. For $100 for a 4 x 8 inch or $200 for a 8 x 8 inch paver you can remember a loved departed pet or anything else you choose to have engraved.

I don't do parades either so we'll be home tomorrow. My buddy, who I mentioned before is a vet from nam and he's holding his own even tho the cancer isn't in remission. He had his bladder and prostate removed, but that wasn't enough. Anyway, I think it's more important to remember the vets who are still alive than walk the street in some from of remembrance--maybe I'm just not a terribly social critter.

So, that's the scoop. Summer is short around these parts so I'll make the best of each warm day.
