Saturday, July seventh

Not too warm, not too humid… quiet Saturday morning coffee muses.

Birds are singing, thunderclouds are building up on the horizon, there’s a nice breeze blowing… all in all it’s a beautiful morning.

I managed to get my meditations done yesterday. From now on though, they will no longer be known as Deere meditations. For the second time now I’ve had to retire a Deere for the exact same flaw. The mower deck has disintegrated around one of the spindles. It was just yesterday that I remembered my first Deere doing the exact same thing. So yesterday I went shopping.

And yesterday I mowed with a Toro for the first time. I must admit to being very impressed. It blew thru high grass without even slowing. I even beat the best time my old Deere ever had on completion… just a bit over an hour and a half. And I wasn’t even mowing at top speed.

The cicadas are buzzing in the trees. There’s rain falling off in the east. A thundercloud is blocking the sun. Contrails cut between the towering clouds.

A green anole is bobbing it’s head and showing it’s pink throat on a pole at the end of the porch.

It’s getting on towards breakfast time… I should get a second cup and go do something about it…
