A Quiet Saturday

Rain and winds today means that we won't get anything accomplished outside. But then again, we rarely do much on weekends anyway so it's a moot point. Monday will be soon enough to start the grass cutting at both our parents' houses. Ford has already issued a recall notice on the new truck (a bad bracket holding the driver's seat in place) so we'll get that taken care of on Tuesday.

We're getting settled into the campground here and I'm already eyeballing the base of one tree as a place to plant a few annuals just to add some color to our site. For me, that's easier than carrying around a bunch of planters that need to be hauled in and out of the trailer every time we move. They have a tendency to fall over and dump their dirt out in transit and I'd just as soon avoid that mess. Denny has been researching the Internet (he's being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century) for the best soil nutrients for tomatoes since his dad has had his garden in the same place for close to 30 years. We figure the ground is pretty tired by now and Denny is bound and determined to get a good crop of tomatoes for his dad this year. Dad himself is looking more frail and tired so this may be our last chance to do this for him.

Posts here will be more sporadic since we'll be settled here for the summer. With diesel prices going through the roof and much our fuel being used for the trips back and forth from Cinci and Dayton we won't be wandering the countryside looking for new places, I'm afraid. But check in occasionally just to keep in touch, ya hear?
