Well, back to the yardwork. My list was a bit shorter this time. Not less difficult, though. I attacked that round mound of abound. Started at it with a rake. I had no idea so much dead grass and the accompanying root clumps beneath would be in my future. Filled up two of our smaller yardwork-designated trash cans. And then I had to actually spread the resulting pile of dirt around to knock down the proverbial mound. Whew.
But that wasn’t all. I still had to get in the mowing. I was gonna do edging and sweeping as well, but … it rained. Not really hard, but enough to warrant a hurried completion and shutting down the mower. And of course not long after the mower was safely ensconced and as snug as a bug in a rug back in the shed … the rain stopped. And no. I didn’t restart the process. Left those sleeping dogs to lie.
The rain did finally make a real appearance later in the day. Around 5 or so, the thunder started up again, followed by a rather extensive storm. Apparently they were flooding in Houston. Not that bad here. The grass did like it, though.
We finished out the day with a FaceTime call from our Waco campers. AnnaGrace in particular was so excited she was giddy. I think she had a a good week.
Luke had a good week, too. But he’s already looking forward to youth camp in two weeks. As a sixth grader he gets to attend both camps. He’ll be going from “the Big Guy” to the “Newbie.” Have fun, Luke.
Caleb went to the camp as a junior counselor. Perfect spot for him. He didn’t join the chat much, though. He was busy getting ready for a date. Say hi to Chaselyn for us, Caleb.
We did get to say goodbye to Zak and Lindsay. Well, to their backs, anyway. They had fixed dinner for everyone.
1 John 1:9 says, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Father, bless our Waco family. Amen.
