Dinner last night was a rerun of turkey and mashers. We don't have quite the volume of leftovers I'd expected since Tuesday evening Tom split our turkey down the center and then sent one 'whole' half over to Alex's.

No rain today yet, but it is definitely gray out and looking quite possible.  Once I finish this post I'd better sneak in a soak before the sky starts to leak   

Yesterday afternoon, in advance of the predicted precipitation, Alex did schlep the tall ladder over and trimmed the couple of unsightly dead hanging palm fronds.  Now I have a much nicer view out the bedroom window.  

Alex wanted to mow behind his place, but since the riding mower is back in the shop (again!) he was going to use the old push mower.

Unfortunately, despite his best efforts he couldn't get it started.

Tom got in some more weed-eating yesterday while taking a break from playing with rocks, though despite his efforts barely made a dent.

Off to soak, then sew.
