83 sunny
Gale & her new husband Dan Grau, came about 1:30 with their big red pickup truck – Loaded the Johnson Property Services timbers and also the ones across the road left from raised beds (dismantled) – also cleaned out pots from under greenhouse benches.
Started mowing along road after they left and got tractor stuck in a hole. Hobbled back to the house & later Mike Lyon came to the door and teased me saying ‘I found a John Deere tractor someone abandoned along the road and I brought it here thinking you could use it.’ He and LaDonna are hosting a family reunion today – Grandson from England. I spent from 3:00 to 5:00 mowing across road and lower lawn. Leftover supper from Carpenters.
