Leroy did not have to work at church
services or do his class tonight. When he got home from church he took a big
nap. Since then he has done some reading. But friends called and said they were
cleaning up the garden so we both went to help. It was great to spend some time
visiting. I think both of us like to visit while we are doing some not so
difficult task. We took out a lot of paper that we had put down to keep the
weeds at bay. Some mulch had blown off and paper threatened to become debris in
the neighborhood. I was pleased to see some new cilantro about an inch high.
Someone told us this morning that the weather could hold for two weeks yet. I
think that would be great as more chard is also growing. The oriental greens
are still good along with some of the kale. Other kale looks like it has had
it. It must be colder there than by my house as my kale still looks quite fine.
After he came home Leroy cleaned off
his bike wheels and some of the frame. Air also went in the tires. His brakes
had been complaining mightily. It is better now. He said, “Riding the bike in
the winter is dirty business.”
Then he got the idea to clean out the
rain barrel which had collected quite a lot of unwanted settlers. I went up and
down stairs to bring down small buckets of water. That gave me enough steps to
get to 10,000 today and the rain barrel’s openings are not clogged with roof
run off. It was wonderful to be outside and that is a plus.
Next Leroy cleaned off his stamp storing
shelves. It is a nice day off when he feels like he has accomplished so many
things around the house.
We scheduled the tours for our cruise
in January. I had been concerned that we might forget, but we got it done.
Maybe I can sleep better tonight. Both of us logged a lot of awake time.

This is us at the garden two years
ago. We have not changed that much neither has the garden.
