But Not Much

I haven't posted for a while because I didn't think I had anything to post about. I took my camera outside to photograph not much.

The weather changed, from hot to cool and frequently cloudy, and occasionally some rain, but not much.

So far we have had .22 (that's 22 hundredths) of an inch since "the rains came back". That makes a total of.....  .22 inches since sometime in June. Yes, Seattle does have summer drought, and this is the droughtiest on record. 

I did a little yard work, but not much. Tom fertilized the lawn about two weeks ago, and so he has had to keep up with the mowing. The grass is looking almost restored now.

Tom trapped a mole a couple of days ago and that put a stop to the digging for now. We don't usually kill furry critters, but we have no problem with dead moles. 

I contributed to the work by scissoring the edges all around the lawn.

It's all looking trim again.


I have been working on improving my mobility issues by diligently doing my exercises and not overdoing walking. There is a slight improvement, I think, but not much. I have an event coming up this weekend that requires walking and standing, so I won't be crawling around the edges of the lawn to pick up the trimmings. 

Isaac's youth soccer season started Saturday so Grandpa and I represented the family while Jill was off in the mountains again. Rain had been a possibility, but no, not so much. The sky was blue and the sun warmed us on the sidelines. 

I have been reading, books not so much as other stuff. I did finish a book this week, Someone Knows My Name, by Lawrence Hill. It's not a new book, was published in 2007, but someone recommended it to me, and it was wonderful, though not an easy read, as it deals with slavery in the American colonies. I do recommend it though. It is eventually uplifting.

Not so uplifting are the political articles and editorials I read, probably way too much. Seems like we go from bad to worse daily. Now we have hurricanes bearing down on our islands and coastlines, and Boy, didn't we do a heck of a job in Puerto Rico. I wish you well, all who are affected by threatening weather. I'll be ready to donate.

I didn't use up all of my photos, so I might just have enough of "not much" for another post!

I'll leave you with a sunny scene. Life is good here and I don't have much to complain about.
