Yardwork Day once again. Shortly after 8 we began tackling our neglected yard. I started with mowing and edging. Chris handled sweeping. But I did get a lot of it swept for her using the massive blow dryer (my affectionate name for the leaf blower). And after that I grabbed the hedge clippers. It was time for some serious bush trimming. The main culprits were the three oleander bushes. Then came the Creepy Myrtle. (OK. I typed in crepe myrtle and spell check corrected it to that. Hey. I kinda like it. The Creepy Myrtle Tree (apologies to all the ladies named Myrtle out there). Definitely has a ring to it.
Anyway, I also lopped a few Sycamore branches and under Chris’ meticulous direction trimmed up some lantana bushes. But that was not all. Back in the back yard we moved around some heavy plants-in-pots. Then I dug up a couple of plants from the yard, and we replanted them in pots. I think that was the final chore of the morning. It was definitely time to cool down and grab some lunch.
Speaking of cooling down … Chris needed a little of that cool down time for two different reasons. One, she found out that the PT office canceled her appointment for Monday. And they blamed it on her. Nope. She kept her cool pretty well, though, even if the visit was finally rescheduled for 7:30 am. Not her favorite time of day, for sure.
And two, she tried again to delve into the dark world of the UTMB business office. She’s still trying to straighten out the double charge they made on her a few weeks ago. They gave her some instructions as to what further information they needed, so we got that sent. Now we wait.
John 15:2 says, Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.
Father, the Alaska contingent’s flight home began last night. Not sure when they will arrive (or have arrived). Thank you for their chance to serve in a unique arena. Amen.
