Mowed Lawn & Finished Stool

After breakfast I killed about seven yellow jackets.  Some of them were in the shed and the others were in the hen house. I removed the the hoses and started mowing the grass in the front yard.  The oil was normal.  The grass was quite tall.

The corn is growing. 

The first load of grass was put around the geraniums below Carol's bedroom window.  Later in the day I run the sprinkler on them for over an hour.   The sun should bleach the grass clipping.

Dumped the next two loads on top of the wild lettuce that I pulled yesterday in the raspberry patch.

The trunk of the Dracaena had died. I cut it off.   

The earwigs are thick in the dahlia flowers.  I sprayed all of them with and insecticide.

I picked a bunch of  burpless cucumbers.  The are going to the post office, "share the harvest"

The wheel barrow was in the shed and it was falling apart.  I fixed it a couple months ago.  I planned to fix it again.   It was in terrible shape.  All of the wood needed to be replaced,  The barrow was full of big holes.  It would take a long time to fix it.

I finished the stool that i started to make yesterday.  It is seventeen inches tall.  For some reason there is a bad photo.

Shopping Utah County

We left home a little after nine and stopped at several stores.  WalMart, Costco, Sam's Club, Toys R Us and had lunch at In & Out.  After lunch we stopped at the DI where Carol bought a bunch of books.

I am working on the top of this stool.  It was large and rugged.  I cut it to sixteen inches square.  As I think about it, it seems to be way to big. It is two inches shorter than the one on the house that I was comparing it with.  Tomorrow I will cut of two more inches.   I need to shorten the stretchers and the skirt.  The length of the legs will remain the same.

 We drove to Provo to get some supplies and to use the home depot card the Eric and April gave me.  There were several things that I wanted, but decided with this jigsaw.

After we got home and unloaded the car, I went to work to get it to work.  I read the directions and they were fairly typical of other directions of other tools in the shop.  I could not get the blade to stay in.  I tried over and over.  Finally I looked at the tilt of the base and it was off by a couple of degrees.  I changed that and the blade went right in and stayed.

There was a package at our front door from Amazon.  It was ordered by Lisa and Eric.  In the box was a black hunting vest and a pair of pants.  The vest had pockets all over.  Many were for bullets.  I put one cell phone in one of the pockets and the other cell phone which I use as a camera in another pocket.  The pants were a little long and had extra pockets on the pant legs.
